Dear Friends
Welcome to this week’s Palm Sunday worship resources.
As you know, we cannot livestream our worship, but if you would like to access the links on Sunday morning at 10.30am, you can at least be assured that some others will be doing the same and I hope feel a sense of community.
This week we have also attached the text below in a PDF document. If you are using the links in this document just click the back button in the top left hand corner of your internet browser each time you reach the end of a link and it will return you to the PDF document.
Opening Prayer
Gracious God, as we remember this day how Jesus entered Jerusalem to cries of celebration, help us to welcome him afresh into our own hearts and lives.
Accept the praise and worship we bring you, and give us a real sense of expectation as we look towards his coming kingdom.
Hosanna to the Son of David! Amen

Collect
True and humble king,
hailed by the crowd as Messiah:
grant us the faith to know you and love you,
that we may be found beside you
on the way of the cross,
which is the path of glory.

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen

Closing Prayer
Go into Holy Week, clinging to hope amid the darkness.
Go with joy, knowing that resurrection is around the corner.
Go with peace, and seek a better world. Amen
And, to finish: Make Way https://youtu.be/xVUZkmjmhTA (just in case you are missing hearing the organ)
A song for families to enjoy https://youtu.be/o24Pd0Z49E0 – Blessed is the King who comes
Remember:
We are safe, we are forgiven, we have been given God’s Spirit. We have eternal hope. We have been given life.
Sending love to you and prayers.
God bless.
Steve
