Call to us again. Help us to hear your voice. Give us hearts of love and compassion for all our dear ones who suffer illness and any adversity. Be with those who travel, having no home to which to return, no land they can call theirs, no sense of ever being community again.They truly hunger and thirst in every way and you have called us to meet those needs – not to turn them away because they might be different. You always accepted us, so let us accept others, realizing that your sheep of your pasture are awash with diversity of spirit and origin. Let us celebrate those wonderful gifts and learn from them for we ask this in the name of the Good shepherd.

last vs.)MORNING PRAYER:Sometimes our faith life is like a journey in which we have four flat tires, no change for the thruway, and children crying “Are we there yet?”. We just try to get through it. Be with us on these journeys. Bring us hope and comfort. Remind us that we will be “OK”, that God is walking with us.This week so many things have happened in our lives. Some of these things have been wonderful and cause our hearts to rejoice; other things have torn at our spirits seeking to bring us down. Lift us up, Lord. Open our eyes to you. Help us to see your presence in all your world. Give us courage and strength for all the journeys ahead so that even flat tires and fussing children will not deter us from our destination.

Not as strangers who happen to sit in the same room — but as one body. We carry each other's doubt. Each other's exhaustion. Each other's stubborn hope.People: We are not alone in this. We have never been alone in this.Leader: And Christ is here. Walking with us toward Jerusalem. Toward the cross. We don't fully understand why it had to be this way.People: But we trust the one who's walking it with us.Leader: So come as you are. Fully.

But we turn away. We choose our own path. And when we do, fear rushes in to fill the space we've left.We grow quiet when your Spirit nudges us to speak. We hold back when your Spirit pushes us to act. We look away from the injustice right in front of us — and we do it together. Our silence becomes something we share. This grieves your heart. Forgive us for the turning — for choosing fear over the Spirit who was right there. By your perfect love, cast out every fear that has made its home in us. We pray this in the name of Jesus.

LIGHTING ALTAR CANDLES “Onward Christian Soldiers”HYMN: “God of the Ages” - #698PRAYER OF CONFESSION:Benevolent God, we want to be wise investors; yet we confess that too often we invest our time, our talent, and our money foolishly. We invest in things thinking that things will give us security.When we come to worship we are reminded that Jesus came to give us abundant life, not to give us more stuff. In our better moments we know that stuff does not lead to eternal life; only a relationship with Jesus can do that. But we are anxious and foolish people. We confess of our myopic view of seeing the world through the lens of ourselves only. Heal us of our blindness and empower us with your vision of who we are and who we can become. Grant us the grace and courage to walk that narrow path which leads to you. Give us the courage of our convictions, O Lord of Life.Make us the people that you imagined at creation. Heal our lack of trust so that we may wholly and completely follow you as disciples of the Risen Lord. We genuinely desire to be your hands and feet in the world, so give us the volition to follow our hearts into a deeper relationship with you. Forgive us in all the places that we have fallen short and give us an enduring vision of the realm of God that we desire to serve. Help us learn to invest together and live as the gracious body of Christ in our community.In this and in everything we offer our prayers in the name of the one you sent to be our Messiah, Jesus Christ. Amen.WORDS OF ASSURANCEHYMN: “Sweet, Sweet Spirit” - #334FIRST SCRIPTURE READING Proverbs 21:5OUR TIME OF PRAYER (During our time of prayer, the altar rail is open for all who wish to come forward.)HYMN “Sanctuary”PASTORAL PRAYERTHE LORD’S PRAYEROUR TITHES AND OFFERINGS: Medley - “America the Beautiful, God Bless the USA, Battle Hymn of the Republic”DOXOLOGYPRAYER OF DEDICATIONCHILDREN’S MOMENTS (Children K-6th grade are invited to Jr. Church at this time).SECOND SCRIPTURE READING Matthew 6:19-21SERMON “Save All You Can”CLOSING HYMN: “Faith of Our Fathers” - #710BENEDICTIONSENDING FORTH: “As We Go”POSTLUDE “He Keeps Me Singing”

With a word you created all that is, and your word still has power to deliver us from storms of doubt and fear. But, we fail to call on you. We rely on our own resources rather than trust yours.

We believe his death on the cross exposes both the reality of human sin and the depths of God’s selfless, sacrificial love. We believe his resurrection is God’s ultimate victory over sin, hate, evil, and death.

Yet, we confess that the "old self" often has more sway than the "new self" your life offers. We are plagued by fear, worry and doubt despite our new identity as your beloved children. Anger, resentment and hatred wreak havoc in our relationships, even though you are the Prince of Peace.We are consumed with regrets, shame and guilt despite the forgiveness you freely give us.

Lord, bless the fathers who lead with wisdom and kindness, who work hard to provide, who forgive with open hearts, and who point their families toward Your truth. Encourage the tired, renew the discouraged, and inspire all fathers to lead with faith.For those who are missing their dads today, or carry wounds from broken relationships, bring comfort, healing, and hope. And for those who step into the role of father—mentors, uncles, coaches, teachers—we thank You. Help all of us, Lord, to extend love, mercy, and forgiveness to one another, just as You have done for us. May our homes be places of grace, where unity and compassion grow.We celebrate the fathers among us today, and we lift our eyes to You, our perfect Heavenly Father, who never gives up on us, who welcomes us home, and who rejoices when we return.

We pledge ourselves to hectic schedules, demands on time, energy, and resources that erode all too quickly. We seem to be rushing through life. The cries of those in need often go unheeded in our blur of activities which sap our energy, our resources, our spirits.Slow us down a bit, Lord. Remind us again that we are responsible for the care of this world, for reaching out and offering your healing love. Help us to hear the words of patient love that you have for us. Remind us again of Jesus’ words to his disciples when he told them that they should love one another as he loved them. May we take time to bear witness to that love in all that we do. For we ask this in Jesus’ Name.

P: We walked the valleys and saw the people crying in need. Jesus reached out to them. He did not criticize or diminish their needs. He touched their lives and they were never the same. The love that flowed through him to them was God’s healing love.L: Christ is risen! P: We sat at table in the Upper Room as Jesus told of his death and we wanted to discount his words. How could he die? We did not want to believe it. It was easier to proclaim with bravado our faith than to listen to his words.L: Christ is risen! P: We waited in the Garden of Sorrows while he prayed and watched in horror as he was betrayed with a kiss. We followed at a distance and denied, with Peter, ever knowing who he was. We were in the crowd that clamored for Barabbas’ release and turned our backs as Pilate washed his hands of the crime.L: Christ is risen! P: We followed him to the hill and cringed as they nailed him to the Cross. We heard his words of forgiveness and love from the cross and felt the ground tremble as the sky darkened and he gave up his life, into his father’s hands.L: Christ is risen! P: We ran from the empty tomb today, with the incredible news that He is Risen! He was not captured by death, but is risen from the dead, just as he said he would be. We come with the joy in our hearts to this day. As the flowers in our worship area burst with color, so we burst with the absolute joyous news CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED! ALLELUIA.

We have heard the Resurrection story and for so many years it has remained just a nice story. But this time it is different. This time we have walked the path with Christ. We have journeyed through the wilderness and valleys, to the mountaintops to the courtyard, the garden and the cross.Now you bring us to the empty tomb and to the joyous news of the truth of Christ. Forgive us when we so easily doubt the truth of his resurrection. Forgive us when we feel we have to have absolute proof of everything. Your love in Jesus Christ is all the proof we need.

Too often we want you to be a “magic” presence which will, with the wave of a wand, cure our ills, give us success and happiness; but we don’t necessarily want to take responsibility for our attitudes and actions.Life is. Things happen which we didn’t plan for and events swirl around us over which we have no control. But to place blame and not to find ways in which we can work through the situations is detrimental to everyone, especially ourselves.Forgive us when we are so busy placing blame that we don’t recognize your presence and love for us. Free us from placing our own desires first and foremost. Help us to look at the many ways in which you are working in the world for peace and justice, and enable us to be part of that ministry.

Rather than respond with gratitude, we long for that which we do not have. We compare ourselves to others and want more, different, newer, shinier. We fail to discipline our desires and instead glorify and indulge them. We want maturity without growing pains, character without effort, courage without testing, wisdom without difficulty.Lord, forgive our foolish ways. Grant us instead a longing for your presence and a burning passion for your truth. Above all else, may we seek to know your heart, to delight in your presence and to desire your ways and thoughts which are higher than ours.

We feel that the journey on which we have embarked will demand too much of us. There are so many other things in our lives which claim our spirits, our energy, our hopes and fears. It is easy to be like Jerusalem, turning our backs on those whom you send.The world shouts its solutions to us and then deserts us when we are in need. Forgive us for the many times in which we have strayed from your pathway of life; when we have chosen not to hear the cries of those in need; when we have belittled the gifts and skills you have given us in order to avoid serving others. Heal us, O Lord. Place us back on your path to Jerusalem, to live, for we ask this in Jesus’ name.

People: AMEN.HYMN “Thank You, Lord”PRAYER OF CONFESSION:Patient Lord, we are rushing headlong into the holiday season, forgetting that the word “holiday” is actually comprised of two words: “holy and day.” Forgive us when we treat the “holiday” as a task and a burden, when we load ourselves down with tasks that do not enhance this day. Help us move past the busyness of the day into the attitude of gratitude we should display for all the many wonders and blessings you have poured on us.Forgive us when we grumble and gripe about the work and do not relish the delight in having family and friends together. Remind us that there are those for whom this day holds little delight and hope. Help us reach out to them with love, listening to their hearts and trying to meet their needs. Cause us to be people of Passion about the love you have given to us and about the joy of serving you by helping others.In Jesus’ Name, we pray.

Hosanna in the highest!Christ’s steadfast love remains forever. Hosanna in the highest!Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!FIRST SCRIPTURE READING: Mark 11:1-11HYMN “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus” #277 PRAYER OF CONFESSION:We love parades! We love the excitement, the colors, the noise! Today we celebrate Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. His followers have stripped branches from the trees and wave them in the air. They have thrown their cloaks in the path of the donkey that his steps might be cushioned.And the scene is wonderful! But there is a reality here. The reality is that although we wave our branches and shout "Hosanna!", we have not always behaved as disciples. Too often we have wandered from the path of Christ and stumbled along on our own, believing our way to be superior. We haveturned from those who have needed help, because it wasn’t convenient for us to be of help of service. We have done and said things that are not worthy of disciples. Yet, here we stand, in the parade route, waving our branches.Forgive us, Lord. Help us to turn our lives around and truly serve you. Help us to really mean "Hosanna! Blessed is the One who comes in the Name of the Lord!" And as we are led to the table of forgiveness and to the cross, help us to realize the power of your love through the gift of Jesus Christ.Make that love a transforming agent in our lives so that, finally, our celebration may truly reflect our faith and joy in Jesus Christ.

He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from among the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything.

We are like the disciples who, in the midst of fears and storms, could only tremble and wonder about the threatening events. Even when Jesus called to the disciples, they shook with fear. But Jesus offered words of encouragement. Impulsive Peter asked Jesus to call to himand bid him come out of the boat. Jesus complied and Peter stepped over the edge onto the waves — but fear claimed him again and he began to sink.Many of us can identify with that moment when we let go of our faith and clutch onto our fears. Help us to place our trust totally in you and your call to us. You will guide and lift us to safety — that is the promise you have given to us and we believe it. When our faith slips, scoop us up and bring us peace. Be patient with us, for we are flawed and yet loved by you. Give us strong hearts and willing spirits to be your disciples.AMEN.WORDS OF ASSURANCEFIRST SCRIPTURE READING Psalm 46:1-3OUR TIME OF PRAYER (During our time of prayer, the altar rail is open for all who wish to come forward.)HYMN “Sanctuary”THE LORD’S PRAYEROUR TITHES AND OFFERINGS “Rain Down” – Chancel ChoirDOXOLOGYPRAYER OF DEDICATIONSECOND SCRIPTURE READING Matthew 14:22-34SERMON “Stepping Out with Jesus”HOLY COMMUNIONHYMN “O Jesus, I Have Promised” #396BENEDICTIONSENDING FORTH “As We Go”POSTLUDE “They’ll Know We are Christians by our Love”

CALL TO WORSHIP: We gather here this day to hear God’s word for us. We praise God for the opportunity to gather together. We are sent forth from this place to share God’s transforming love. Lord, encourage us and empower us to do Your will. AMEN. HYMN “Seek Ye First” #405
- PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Merciful God, we get so caught up in our own lives and needs that we fail to see others for whom we might provide some help and relief. You challenge us to feed those who are hungry and to quench the thirst of those who are parched. You ask us to bring clothing to those who have none or for whom the clothing is inadequate for the weather; to visit people who are sick, alone, alienated, who are imprisoned either in cells with bars or in conditions of hopelessness and poverty that they see no way out; to welcome the stranger and reach out to those who are marginalized; to always bring Your words of healing and redeeming love. We have failed in these tasks – we ignore the opportunities and claim that we are too busy to help, too busy to care. How this attitude must sadden You, O Lord. You lavish Your gifts upon us that we might use them for the betterment of Your realm, and we treat them as inconveniences. Forgive us, O God. Forgive us and heal our wounds of greed and selfishness. Let us greet this day when the hope of the Reign of Christ can be made manifest and we can be part of this glorious kingdom of peace and compassion. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. AMEN. *WORDS OF ASSURANCE:

God’s word lives within us, for it is written on our hearts. Living Word, Great Teacher, lead us and guide us! Amen!

But even as we listen for your direction, other voices compete for our attention with teachings that suit our desires. Our thoughts drift so far from your truth, that fables and fancies begin to seem real. Holy One, open our hearts and minds. By your Spirit, convince, rebuke, and encourage us as only you can; teach, correct, and inspire us in the ways of your salvation. Amen.

Open your hearts and spirits to the refreshing love of God. Help us, O Lord, to live joyfully and peacefully in your sight. AMEN.
*HYMN “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” #133 PRAYER OF CONFESSION Lord, it has been a difficult week. Things have happened for which we were not prepared. We have not responded to difficulties with love, but rather with impatience. We have turned our backs on others in need, placing our creature comforts first. We have been stressed, pulled, pushed, tossed. Give us peace, Gracious Lord. Help us to slow down so that we can receive your healing word of love. Remind us that we stand in need of forgiveness, and then having received such love, we are to love and serve others. Teach us to pray for courage and strength; teach us how to be good disciples for you. In Christ's Name, we offer this prayer. AMEN.
WORDS OF ASSURANCE Even when things seem dark, God is with us. God's love is powerful enough to overcome any darkness that we encounter. Remember how much love has been given for you and rejoice! AMEN.

PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES “They’ll Know We are Christians by our Love” OPENING MUSIC “You Are My All in All” Call to Worship: Let us set aside our worry and fear, our busyness and competing agendas to respond to Christ's call. Christ offers us the opportunity to walk with him, to come to know his heart more deeply day by day. Nothing is more precious than opening our hearts to God who fills us with love. Christ grants us the privilege of working alongside him in our Father's business. There is no higher call and no greater joy than making a difference in the kingdom of God. Come, let us worship the One who calls us to follow! We worship in joy, in gratitude, in praise: Jesus Christ is Lord of all! CONGREGATIONAL HYMN “Shine Jesus, Shine”
Congregational Prayer of Confession: It is said that confession is good for the soul, but there are times, O Lord, when we just don’t want to confess, we don’t want to own up to the many ways in which we have failed to be your faithful disciples. We have turned our backs on those in need. We have sought after power and riches, believing that these things bring true happiness. But you know us far too well. You know what is within our hearts and our spirits. You seek the very best for us that we might grow to be fruitful plants in your garden. Be with us. Forgive us when we have failed to love and treat others with respect and compassion. Turn our hearts back toward you, who always reaches out to us offering healing and love. These things we ask in Jesus’ Name. AMEN.
Words of Assurance: Great news has come to us, dear friends. God, who is faithful and just, who cherishes us as we are, seeks restoration and healing for those broken places in our lives, forgives and loves us unconditionally. Receive that good news!

Call to Worship: For God alone my soul waits in silence; My hope is from God. God alone is our rock and salvation; We shall not be shaken. Trust in God at all times, O people; God is a refuge for us. Congregational Prayer of Confession: Our God, forgive us for failing to understand and accept the great demands placed upon us by Your love. We enlist in Your causes, but find ourselves losing interest. We promise to be courageous, but find ourselves afraid. We want to be sensitive, but find ourselves hard and callous. Forgive us; take our limitations and turn them into possibilities for service. Have mercy on us and grant us Your peace. AMEN.

You know that we have hurt each other, been unkind and thought only of ourselves. You have given us such grace and mercy; help us to extend the same to our brothers and sisters. Free us from holding grudges, from gossip and from passing judgment. Let us never pour shame upon another, but instead love and peace. Help us walk with each other toward forgiveness and restoration. Thank you for the beauty you will bring to our relationships because we have sought your healing. We are yours, gracious God. AMEN.

Call to Worship: Welcome to worship today! Thanks. We are glad to be here. Even when things get hectic, always know that you will find welcome here. We are grateful for the hospitality and friendship that are offered here. Come, let us worship the God who always welcomes us. Let us open our hearts to Christ who welcomed friend and stranger alike. AMEN.
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Let us join together in professing the Christian faith as contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. Do you believe in God the Father? I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. Do you believe in Jesus Christ? I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again; He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead. Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Congregational Prayer: Patient Lord, we want to extend the hand of welcome and friendship to all whom we meet, but you know that sometimes we shy away from reaching out. We make judgments about others based on their appearance and other surface factors, and we neglect your mandate to be a welcoming presence. That lack of welcome extends further when we see needs that must be addressed and choose to turn our backs. We turn away from the pain and suffering, protecting our own lives. Yet You remind us that as we welcome others, so we are also welcoming You. Heal us and give us strength and courage to always be welcoming others in Your name. AMEN.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Today's music is the music that I used for the Palm Sunday Service. It is the congregation singing.
It is from February 2020
When Church Member Angela shares her musical talent with us, it is always an extremely powerful and moving experience
This was one of those times in November, 2019
When Church Member Angela Martin shares her music talent with us, she always gives a very powerful performance.
Her is the recording from the most recent time that she sang for us in Late February
Our Chancel Choir blesses us with wonderful music almost every Sunday.
Here is a three-fer of the choir and their February Music

Here is the most recent time that Roy sane for the congregation, on March 8
