Today's Hymn
Hosanna, Loud Hosanna
(Please feel free to sing along during worship!)
Hosanna, loud hosanna, the little children sang;
through pillared court and temple the joyful anthem rang.
To Jesus, who had blessed them, close folded to his breast,
the children sang their praises, the simplest and the best.
"Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing,
for Christ is our Redeemer; the Lord of heaven, our King.
O may we ever praise him with heart and life and voice,
and in his blissful presence eternally rejoice.
Anthem
They Could Not
Harris and Cloninger

Prayers of Concern and Thanksgiving
We continue to pray for our world as everyone copes with the impact of the Coronavirus. Pray for those who are sick, those who are lonely, and afraid. We ask for continued strength for all health care workers and grocery suppliers.
Come Lord Jesus, give us such grace and generosity that these days we may bring your love and peace and joy to others, especially the lonely, the troubled, the grieving. Help us by your Spirit to recognize your presence with us throughout the day, that we may do what is good in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen
Please send your prayer concerns and joys to Louise Rogers at
[email protected]
. Personal visits are not allowed at this time but pastors are still connecting in other ways.

Many therapists are expanding schedules and hours in order to provide the support needed.
