Hymn # 378 Hosanna, Loud Hosanna
Psalter: Psalm 24 NRSV (read responsively) Jurgen Honig
1The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it;
2for he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers.
3Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place?
4Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully.
5They will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication from the God of their salvation.
6Such is the company of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
7Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in.
8Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in.
10Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.
Prayer for Illumination Jurgen Honig
First Lesson: Zechariah 9: 9 - 17 NRSV Jurgen Honig
9Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem! Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 10He will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall command peace to the nations; his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. 11As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
12Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double. 13For I have bent Judah as my bow; I have made Ephraim its arrow. I will arouse your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and wield you like a warrior’s sword. 14Then the Lord will appear over them, and his arrow go forth like lightning; the Lord God will sound the trumpet and march forth in the whirlwinds of the south. 15The Lord of hosts will protect them, and they shall devour and tread down the slingers; they shall drink their blood like wine, and be full like a bowl, drenched like the corners of the altar. 16On that day the Lord their God will save them for they are the flock of his people; for like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on his land. 17For what goodness and beauty are his! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the young women.
Lector: “This is the Word of God.”
Congregation: “Thanks be to God for His Word.”
Anthem He Comes as King
Prepare the way, He comes as King
Hosannas to the Lord we sing!
Let all the people praise the King
O hear the sounds of joy we bring,
Sing Hosanna!
Children’s Sermon
Hymn # 370 The King of Glory Comes
Second Lesson: Luke 19: 28 - 46 NRSV
28After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, 30saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.’” 32So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them. 33As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34They said, “The Lord needs it.” 35Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. 37As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, 38saying, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!” 39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” 40He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”
41As he came near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42saying, “If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43Indeed, the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up ramparts around you and surround you, and hem you in on every side. 44They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another; because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.” 45Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things there; 46and he said, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’; but you have made it a den of robbers.”

Worship
…is the quickening of conscience by God’s holiness;
the nourishment of mind with His truth;
the purifying of imagination by His beauty;
the opening of the heart to His love;
the surrender of the will to His purpose;
and all of this gathered up in adoration—
the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable, and therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and the source of all actual sin.” -William Temple
Welcome
To all who are weary and seek rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle and desire victory; to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are idle and look for service; to all who are strangers and want fellowship; to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness; and to whosoever will come--this church opens wide her doors and offers her welcome in the name of Jesus Christ her Lord.

Missions
Rev. Jack & Mary Anne Voelkel (IVCF)
After 30 years of missionary activity in Colombia, South America, during which they founded a national student movement affiliated with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, and then taught for 10 years in the Biblical Seminary of Colombia, Jack and Mary Anne were invited by InterVarsity to return to the U.S. to help with the planning of the Urbana Student Mission Conventions held in the years 2000 and 2003.
Since then, they have continued to collaborate with InterVarsity. Over the years, Mary Anne has developed, promoted, and guided a ministry of Prayer and Intercession. Jack edits two columns on the Urbana Website: An advice column, "Ask Jack," and an ongoing series of short missionary biographies, "Great Cloud of Witnesses”. Both are involved in a continuing ministry in Latin America.
They reside in Tucson, AZ, near two of their children and their families. They have a third grown son who lives in Vermont.
The Livermores (Campus Crusade)
Scott and Kristen Livermore are affiliated the Student Venture program of Campus Crusade. This coaching program assists local ministry leaders nationwide (by phone, radio, and other new technology) so that many more high school students may be reached with good news of Jesus Christ and then to disciple them after they have accepted Christ. Scott and Kristen live in Orlando, Florida and work at the headquarters of Campus Crusade there. They have four children – Melissa, Jessica, Daniel, and Jonathan.
