Call to Worship
Through the hosannas and waving palms,
Come walk the road with Christ
Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Through the betrayal and the denial.
Come walk the road with Christ
Behold the lamb of God. We will walk with him
Through the palms and the passion, the prayers and the pain, come and walk the road with him
Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
 
Hymn 367 – Hosanna, loud hosanna

Blessing of Palm Crosses
We thank you Lord for these palm crosses,
A simple reminder of the love you showed for us. As we take them into our homes,
May they remind us through this special week
That you gave your life for us upon the cross.
May they remind us of how deep and wide and high Is the love you have for us.
As we take them into our homes,
So may we take your love into our hearts
And worship you as Saviour and King.
And like the people on that first Palm Sunday,
May we also cry ‘Hosanna,
Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord’.

Weekly Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, on Palm Sunday you entered the rebellious city where you were to die. Enter our hearts, we pray and subdue them to yourself. And as the disciples blessed your coming and spread garments and branches in your way, make us ready to lay at your feet all that we have and are, that we too may bless your coming in the name of the Lord. Amen
