This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.” 1 John 4:9 ————————————————- PREPARATION AND PRAISE
GREETING and ANNOUNCEMENTS GATHERING PRAISE SONG
PRELUDE
We are excited that you are worshiping at Gethsemane today.
CALL TO WORSHIP: (congregation reads the bold) We come to prepare for the holiest of weeks.
We will journey through praise, with joy on our lips; We will travel through betrayal and death,
cradling hope deep in our hearts.
Jesus leads us through this week, and we will follow,
for He is the life we long for, He is the Word who sustains us.
We wave palm branches in anticipation.
we lay our love before Him, to cushion His walk.
Setting aside all power, glory, and might, He comes: modeling humility and obedience for all of us
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Blessed is the One who brings us the Kingdom of God! ________________________________________________
