Palm Sunday 2022

Palm Sunday 2022

April 10, 2022

     Prayer Before Worship:  Dear Jesus, as you entered Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday with shouts of “Hosanna!” enable me to praise You today.  Yet, as You went on to die on the cross, help me to confess my sin and rejoice in Your saving love.  Amen.

    Sermon Text

     

    In Today’s Worship:   TODAY WE RECALL both our Lord’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem and His Passion.  This day with its two-fold focus begins the most solemn week of the church year.  Our whole Lenten season culminates in our celebration of the events on that first Palm Sunday and the happenings during the first Holy Week.  Mark carefully the two themes in today’s worship.  Note how the mood of the service changes as symbolized by the bright red paraments and vestments being exchanged for purple, the color of penitence.
