Prelude | John Grecia, organ
Hosanna
+ Call to Worship
Théodore Dubois (1837–1924)
We raise our voices and wave with joyful hope the palms of deliverance of God’s people. Hosanna! Hosanna to the Son of David! Our hearts are filled with expectation as we welcome the coming king. Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! We receive into the crowded streets of our lives the one who is Savior, not only of us, but of all the earth. Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest heaven!
+ Processional Hymn 196: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN All Glory, Laud , and Honor
+ Call to Confession
+ Prayer of Confession
God of mercy, you sent Jesus Christ to seek and save the lost. We confess how easy it is for us to lose sight of you and your promises to us. How is it that in one breath we sing out jubilant “Hosannas,” and in the next breath, we deny knowing our Lord and Savior? We are misled by pride. We see ourselves in the right when we are wrong and great when we are small. We have failed in love, neglected justice, and ignored your truth. Have mercy, God, and forgive our sins. Show us your mercy and guide us back onto your path of righteousness. Through Christ our Lord, we pray. Amen.
+ Declaration of Forgiveness
God so loved the world that God gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but may have eternal life. Friends, believe the Good News of the Gospel. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
+ Response of Praise | What Wondrous Love is This (Verse
+ Passing of the Peace
The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. And also with you.

God So Loved the World
Libby Larsen (b. 1950)
God so loved the world , that he gave his only begotten son , that who so believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. - John 3:16-17
Sermon | “Other Duties as Assigned” | The Rev. Katy Shevel
Time for Reflection
+ Affirmation of Faith | From A
We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal.

Offertory Anthem | 9:30AM Chancel Choir | 11:00AM Quartet + Scholars Kenneth Leighton (1929-1988)
Solus ad victimam
Alone to sacrifice thou goest, Lord , giving thyself to Death whom thou hast slain. For us thy wretched folk is any word? Who know that for our sins this is thy pain? For they are ours , O Lord , our deeds , why must thou suffer torture for our sin? Let our hearts suffer in thy Passion , Lord , that very suffering may thy mercy win. This is the night of tears , the three days' space, sorrow abiding of the eventide , until the day break with the risen Christ , and hearts that sorrowed shall be satisfied. So may our hearts share in thine anguish, Lord , that they may sharers of thy glory be; heavy with weeping may the three days pass, to win thе laughter of thine Easter Day. - Peter Abelard (10791142), tr. Helen Waddell (1889-1965)
