Worship Service (via Livestream)


Palm/Passion Sunday – April 5, 2020 11:00 a.m.

Message - God is our Helper

Scriptures - Isaiah 50:4 – 9a and Philippians 2:5 - 11

Prayer of Preparation - Blessed One, we are humbled by your example. You entered Jerusalem in lowly estate, riding on a donkey, a beast of burden. You emptied yourself and came as a servant to all, forsaking to power to command. Son of David, come to us now and be our King so we too may sing our loud hosannas! Amen.
