PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP
The way to Jerusalem
is cluttered
with bits and pieces of our lives
that fly up and cry out,
wounding us as we try
to keep upon this path
that leads to Life.
Why didn’t somebody tell us
that it would be so hard?
In the midst of the clutter,
the children laugh
and run after stars.
Those of us who are wise
will follow,
for the children will be the first
to kneel in Jerusalem.

SERVICE FOR THE LORD’S DAY
IDLEWILD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
PASSION/PALM SUNDAY; MARCH 20, 2016
8:30 & 11:00 A.M.
OPENING PRAYER
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
Merciful God, as we enter Holy Week and gather at your house of
prayer, turn our hearts again to Jerusalem, to the life, death, and
resurrection of Jesus Christ; that united with Christ and all the
faithful we may one day enter in triumph into the city not made
by human hands—the new Jerusalem, eternal in the heavens,
where with you and the Holy Spirit, Christ lives in glory forever.
Amen.
PROCLAMATION OF THE ENTRANCE INTO JERUSALEM
LUKE 19: 28–40
After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When
he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount
of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village ahead
of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never
been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are
you untying it?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.’” So those who were
sent departed and found it as he had told them. As they were untying
the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” They
said, “The Lord needs it.” Then they brought it to Jesus; and after
throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. As he rode along,
people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As he was now
approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole
multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice
for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the king
who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the
highest heaven!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him,
“Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” He answered, “I tell you, if these
were silent, the stones would shout out.”
*PROCESSION INTO THE CHURCH
Liturgy means “the work of the
people.” Our task today is to
make the move from Palm
Sunday’s shouts of “hosanna”
to Good Friday’s shouts of
“crucify him” when we are
confronted with the reality of
our par�cipa�on in the
betrayal, trial, and crucifixion
of Christ Jesus.
The Lenten banner leading the
processional today was
designed by Jim Eikner, whose
service of witness to the
Resurrec�on we celebrated
yesterday, and was endowed by
Jim and Margaret Ann Eikner. It
was then made by Shari Tucker.
Thanks be to God!
*OPENING HYMN
“ALL GLORY LAUD AND HONOR” VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN
*PRAYER OF THE DAY MS. ABEL LAMAR
Everlasting God,
In your tender love for the human race you sent your Son to take our
nature, and to suffer death upon the cross. In your mercy, enable us to
share in his obedience to your will and in the glorious victory of his
resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.
These stanzas for Palm Sunday
have been selected and
translated from a much longer
La�n poem wri3en by a bishop
who was the leading theologian
in Charlemagne’s court. They
are sung to a 17th century
German chorale, as adapted for
these words in the mid-19th
century.
.We invite young children to
come to the front at this �me.
Each week children bring
quarters to put in educa�on
s�cks, so that young girls
around the world might have
the opportunity for an
educa�on. Just $275 (1,100
quarters) provides scholarship,
supplies, and empowerment for
a young girl. As our children
come forward for the Children’s
Time, please pass them
quarters to share.
The children lead the
congrega�on in The Lord’s
Prayer (using “Forgive us our
debts as we forgive
our debtors”).
Following the Children’s Time,
three-year-olds through senior
kindergartners may go to C3.
Parents, please take your
children out to the hallway, by
the T.K. Young Room, and sign
them in. Helpers will escort
them to Room 203W in the
Jones Building. If you have
babies, toddlers or two-year-
olds, you will take them to the
nursery area (2nd floor east,
Jones Building).
“Come Inside” was
commissioned by Idlewild
Church in memory of Margaret
Montgomery, mother of Steve
Montgomery.
It is based upon the biblical
emphasis on hospitality that,
when Abraham and Sarah
welcomed strangers, they
turned out to be angels.
It also reminds us of the vision
of Idlewild, that “all who enter
find a home.”

WELCOMING HYMN “COME INSIDE”
WELCOMING PRAYER
This beau�ful English
paraphrase of a German
medita�on on Christ’s Passion
bears tes�mony to the
unobtrusive poe�c skill and
musical sensi�vity of a future
Poet Laureate of England,
Robert Seymour Bridges. The
associated chorale is no less
carefully craEed and rewards
singing in parts.
The sermon is a reflec�on on
the day’s scriptures, sugges�ng
implica�ons for our faith
and life.
The Nicene Creed is the oldest
of the Chris�an creeds, wri3en
in A.D. 325 at a council that
was called together by the
Emperor Constan�ne shortly
aEer he won control of the
Roman Empire. He elevated
Chris�anity to favored status in
the empire, but there were s�ll
strong theological differences
within the church. What was
the rela�onship between God
and Jesus? The creed states
that Christ is of the same
substance as God… fully God,
fully man. It is the most
ecumenical of all creed,
affirmed by most Protestants,
Catholics, and Eastern
Orthodox churches.

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH DR. MONTGOMERY
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally
begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from
true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through
him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate
of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death
and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his
kingdom will have no end. (from the the Nicene Creed)
We bring to God our
celebra�ons and cares, praying
for the world, the church and
those close to us.
Doxology literally means
“words of glory.” Doxologies
have long been used by Jews
and Chris�ans to praise God.
Here we honor and thank God
“from whom all blessings flow.”
The invita�on to the Lord’s
Supper is extended to all who
desire to follow Christ,
remembering that access to the
communion table is not a right
conferred upon the worthy, but
a privilege given to the
undeserving who come in faith,
repentance, and love. Even one
who has doubts or whose trust
is wavering is invited to the
table in order to be assured of
God’s love and grace in
Christ Jesus.

My God, I love Thee
not because I hope for heav'n thereby,

Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the cross embrace;
for me didst bear the nails and spear and manifold disgrace.
Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well?
Not for the hope of winning heav'n or of escaping hell;
not with the hope of gaining aught, not seeking a reward;
but as Thyself hast loved me, O ever loving Lord!
E'en so I love Thee, and will love, and in Thy praise will sing;
solely because Thou art my God, and my Eternal King! –17th c, Anonymous
