Opening Prayer
May you be blessed, O Lord God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. I praise you, O Lord -Psalm 106:48 (silent reflection) Prayer of the Bible I will exalt You, my God and King; I will bless Your name for ever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name for ever and ever. Great are You, Lord and most worthy of praise; Your greatness is unsearchable. -Psalm 145: 1-3 (Free expression of praise and thanksgiving to God) Confession of Sin O that we may all receive of Christ’s fullness, grace upon grace; grace to pardon our sins, and subdue our iniquities; to justify our persons and to sanctify our souls; and to complete that holy change, that renewal of our hearts, whereby we may be transformed into that blessed image wherein thou didst create us. Amen -John Wesley (1703-1791) (Time of silence for confession of sin) The Words of Jesus They went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” -Mark 11:4-10 (Think deeply on the life and words of Jesus) Prayers for Ourselves and Others Blessed be God who hears me when I pray. -Psalm 28:6 (Time to bring before God our own needs and the needs of others) Closing Prayer He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. -I Timothy 6:15-16
