​Though Jesus visited Jerusalem several times, this was the only day when Jesus did something unexpected during his earthly life, entering into the city riding on the donkey.
StF 262 All glory, laud and honour
Opening Prayer :
Loving God, we thank you for the special season of lent and the reminders of events that happened in Jesus’ life when he entered Jerusalem. May our time of worship reflect our gratitude and love for you. Amen
 I will enter his gates with thanks giving in my heart
Let us pray together
Lord Jesus,
you journeyed to Jerusalem many times,
as a child and as a man,
touching many lives along the way as you taught and healed and challenged.
Thank you for inviting us 
to journey with you today,
for showing us the depth of your courage and the power of your love.
Thank you, Lord, for being our King and Saviour – and our friend. 
You are worthy of all our praise. Amen.

We are sorry, Lord Jesus, for the moments
when our hosannas are loud 
but lacking in love, 
when we chase the lure of worldly power, 
but miss the signs of heavenly glory,
when we choose popularity over integrity,
when we would silence those who speak the truth and are silent when we could speak out.
Forgive us, and inspire our steps as we follow you to the Cross…and beyond. Amen.

Old Testament Bible Reading : Psalm 118:19-29

StF 264 Make way, make way, for Christ the King
Sermon - ' A powerful sign' -Revd Arnold Dixon
You are the king glory, you are the prince of peace
A time of prayer
As Jesus wept over Jerusalem and cleansed its Temple, let us pray for our cities and our churches today.
Help us know what will bring us peace, O Lord.
We pray to you for cities in conflict, where dictators hold on to power and oppress their own citizens, and the voice of the people is not heard. Especially for Ukraine…
Help us know what will bring us peace, O Lord.
We pray to you for cities in economic trouble 
where the current Covid crisis has put many out of work, new businesses cannot get loans to start, and people do not feel they are all in it together. 
Help us know what will bring us peace, O Lord.
We pray to you for cities suffering natural disaster, where storms, tsunamis, flooding or fire have destroyed the infrastructure and rebuilding has been slow and inefficient. 
Help us know what will bring us peace, O Lord.
We pray to you for all those suffering poor health, personal disaster, or the death of a loved one. Make us faithful in praying, visiting and caring for those in difficulties. 
Help us know what will bring us peace, O Lord.
We pray to you for churches of all denominations, as what unites us this week is so much bigger than what divides us.
May we love one another, so the world may know you are among us. 
Help us know what will bring us peace, O Lord. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father ……
StF 263 Hosanna in the highest, hosanna
A prayer of blessing
May God grant us
exuberance of the Palm Sunday crowd,
and the humility of Jesus riding a donkey;
the energy and excitement of the crowd, 
and the calm holiness of Jesus;
the expectation of the crowd, 
and the understanding heart of Jesus
who journeyed to Jerusalem for love of us all. Amen.
