Palm Sunday is the last Sunday of Lent and the beginning of Holy Week. Join us as we pray and worship and take our last steps in the 40 days that lead us to Resurrection Sunday.
A prayer for Palm Sunday as you enter Holy Week,
Hosanna to the God of relentless love!
Hosanna to the God who enters our failure for our freedom.
Hosanna to the One accused of our sins.
And by His wounds, we are healed.
We remember the week that changed eternity.
You received praise from people who within days would crucify you.
You listened to the shout, “Hosanna, God Saves!”
and knew nobody would save you.
On these days of palms
communion
betraying kisses
and condemnation
we remember Your relentless love put on trial.
This week we bow and confess to our part in Your crucifixion.
This Holy Week, we remember trials
accusations
scourging
piercing
a cross.
We ask that we can learn from your innocence
from your silence.
On our way to Resurrection
we pause
we are silent
we remember
we confess
and with oceans of gratitude and awe
we sing Hosanna!
God saves us
then, now, and always!
Hosanna!
