Welcome
Call to Worship:
Psalm 24, 68 & 118
Lift up, O gates, your lintels:
REACH UP, YOU ANCIENT PORTALS,
THAT THE KING OF GLORY MAY COME IN.
Your solemn processions are seen, O God,
THE PROCESSIONS OF MY GOD, MY
KING, INTO THE SANCTUARY--
The singers in
front, the musicians last,
BETWEEN THEM CHILDREN PLAYING
TAMBOURINES.
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
BIND THE FESTAL PROCESSION WITH
BRANCHES, UP TO THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR.
A reading from the Gospel
of Luke
19: 28-40
At the conclusion of the
reading, following verse 38 which reads The whole multitude of
disciples began to praise God with a loud voice for all the deeds of
power they had seen, saying: (please join in)
HOSANNA! BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO COMES IN
THE NAME OF THE LORD! BLESSED IS THE COMING KINGDOM OF OUR ANCESTOR
DAVID! HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST!

Of Glory" vs. 1, 2, 3
