Countdown to Worship:
*Opening Song: “The Old Rugged Cross” #504
*Words of Worship:
L: We have gathered with the crowds crying Hosanna!
P: Because even if we were silent the stone themselves would have called out. We have shared the hope for aworld about to be changed, and then it changed.
L: We have walked with another crowd,
P: One that called words of scorn and condemnation.
L: And now we follow the crowd as it leads out to the cross, and yet even as the world grows dark, we cannot lose hope.
P: Because God is with us. God will be with us. Whatever happens. We are not alone. And so we watch the crowd and we follow…
