Opening Music of Praise:  “Hosanna”

Prayers of Confession and Prayers of the People:

     –Lift up to God prayers for those who celebrate who Jesus is.

     -Lift up to God prayers for those who quietly scheme how to commit evil.   

     -Lift up to God prayers for those who stand firm in their faith during difficult times.

     -Lift up to God prayers for those who wither away from faith when life gets difficult.

     -Lift all these prayers up to God.

Assurance of Pardon:

      Here the good news.  As Jesus enters Jerusalem the crowds celebrate his arrival.  But very soon the scene turns dark and religious leaders use the Temple for financial gain and others plot to kil Jesus.  But God shows once again that the evil intent in the world is always overcome by the power, love, and grace of God.  Even if our week has been difficult, we can celebrate and wave our hands in the air that God is victorious.  Through Jesus Christ we are loved and forgiven. AMEN.
