Palm Sunday 2012

This service embodies the sharp contrasts of Holy Week. In the Entrance with the Palms we experience the joyful demonstration of loyalty to Jesus as he enters Jerusalem, including festive Palm Sunday music. In the Proclamation and Response we confront and respond to the story of Jesus’ passion. It is important not to let the celebration of Palm Sunday crowd out the observance of Passion Sunday. The passion narratives in Scripture are highly unified and dramatic, and we need to experience the story in its wholeness before we reflect at greater length on its various parts during the following weekdays. Going directly from the lesser joy of the entry into Jerusalem to the joy of Easter, without being addressed by the passion and the cross of our Lord, misrepresents the Gospel. There is no triumph without suffering, no crown without the cross.

-From the United Methodist Book of Worship

Prelude

Hymns of Worship:

“Hosanna”, “Victory Chant”, UMH #277 “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus”

Opening Prayer:

“Holy God, we begin this week shouting “Hosanna! Hosanna!” But we know the story all too well.

Soon we will be shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Lord, as we worship this day, help us see that we are no better - no worse - than those in Jesus’ day. Shower us

with grace and mercy, Lord, as you have done for centuries. Make us whole.”

Amen
