CALL TO WORSHIP

https://canandaiguachurch.org/wp-content/uploads/Call-to-Worship.mp3

Leader: Humble and riding on a donkey,
People: We greet you.
Leader: Acclaimed by crowds and caroled by children,
People: We cheer you.
Leader: Moving from the peace of the countryside to the corridors of power,
People: We salute you, Christ our Lord.
Leader: You are giving the beasts of burden a new dignity; you are giving majesty a
new face; you are giving those who long for redemption a new song to sing.
People: With them, with heart and voice, we shout ‘Hosanna!’

*HYMN # 265 (Green)                          All Glory, Laud and Honor

*INVOCATION (in unison)

https://canandaiguachurch.org/wp-content/uploads/Invocation-online-audio-converter.com_.mp3

Loving God, at this time, we remember that going up to Jerusalem cost Jesus his very life. So we come before you, conscious of the way religious words and holy phrases can slip so easily from our lazy lips and our hardened hearts. What do we really know of your mountainous truth, your rock-hard integrity, the depth of your suffering for love of us all? Forgive us the shallowness of our faith, and the timidity of our following: forgive us for the ready excuses we make for going our own way and claiming it as yours.  Turn us around again, we pray, by your Holy Spirit, active within us and among us. Show us how to be open again to your faithfulness, that we may life new lives and be again bearers of the seeds of the Kingdom of Jesus. Amen.

PRAYER OF DEDICATION (in unison)

https://canandaiguachurch.org/wp-content/uploads/Prayer-of-Dedication-online-audio-converter.com_-1.mp3

Use what we have to share, God of all people, so more of your children may know the good news of Christ. If we had a donkey, we would loan it. If we had branches, we would wave them. When we have extra garments, we would honor Christ by clothing our shivering sisters and brothers. We do have much to give, and we cherish the joy of giving. Bless these tokens of the fuller commitment they are meant to represent. Amen.
