Welcome
Worship Song
Lord, I Lift Your Name on High Founds
Lord, I lift Your name on high;
Lord, I love to sing Your praises.
I'm so glad You're in my life;
I'm so glad You came to save us.
Chorus You came from heaven to earth to show the way,
From the earth to the cross my debt to pay;
From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky;
Lord, I lift Your name on high.
(Repeat in entirety)

Scripture
Luke 19:28-40 Pages 78/83 NT
Hymn #88
All Glory, Laud, and Honor VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN
Prayer of Confession Glenda Simpkins Hoffman
Gracious God, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. Forgive what our
lips tremble to name, what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for us a consuming fire
of judgment. Set us free from a past that we cannot change; open to us a future in which we can be
changed; and grant us grace to grow more and more in your likeness and image; through Jesus Christ,
the light of the world.
Please request large-print hymnals from ushers. Assistive listening devices are available in the balcony from the Sound Technician.
