Children’s Sermon “Benjamin’s Box” Heidi Everhart

At each of our worship services from Palm Sunday through Easter, Heidi Everhart, our Director of Children’s Ministry, will read a portion of the story Benjamin’s Box to the children and the children-at-heart among us who like it too. This year, due to the corona virus pandemic, she will read the story onscreen in video segments which were prerecorded here in our sanctuary a few days ago.

Postlude

ADVENT /PA LM SUNDAY

God of hope, you comfort us through our Savior's promise to return in glory at the end of time:

As we await the coming of the Prince of Peace, let us not despair. We long for you to inspire all the nations and peoples of the world to turn to cooperation and nurture, rather than to hatred and destruction.

God of faith, love, and hope, to you and to you alone we pray:

For you are our God, the only God, forever and ever. Amen.

(Standing)

(Here the Hosanna, page 239, or another suitable hymn may be sung.)

Lord, you have kept the promise you made to our ancestors, and have come to the help of your servant people.

You remembered to show mercy to Abraham and Sarah and to all their descendants forever!

We praise you, Lord. You are enthroned in glory, yet you came and continue to come for all who will receive you. We praise you, for you are good, and your mercy endures forever.

To you be glory and power, forever and ever. Amen.
