Kids – you are invited to print off this palm branch activity. Decorate as many as you would like and have them ready to wave on Sunday morning!
PALM SUNDAY ORDER OF WORSHIP
Welcome & Announcements
Storytime with Ms. Alison Alison Kling
A craft is available to print at https://www.covhsv.org/palm-sunday-worship-guide/ so that children can make their own palm branches to wave and march during the first hymn. If you do not wish to make the craft just wave something fun nearby (napkin, washcloth, etc.)
Opening Hymn: “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna” Matt Carey
Children may march around the house waving their palm branches during this hymn
Hosanna, loud hosanna
the little children sang;
through pillared court and temple
the lovely anthem rang.
To Jesus, who had blessed them,
close folded to his breast,
the children sang their praises,
the simplest and the best.
From Olivet they followed
mid an exultant crowd,
the victory palm branch waving,
and chanting clear and loud.
The Lord of earth and heaven
rode on in lowly state,
nor scorned that little children
should on his bidding wait.
“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.
Sermon: “Apocalypse!” David Kling
John 12:12-16

Doxology
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host:
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.
Prayers of the People & Lord’s Prayer David Hunsicker
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power
and the glory, forever.
Sacrament of Communion David Kling

Communion Anthem Covenant Scholarship Singers
Closing Hymn: “Lord, I Need You” Covenant Praise Band
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
Where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
When I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
You’re my one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Charge
Wherever we go, God has sent us. Wherever we are, God has put us there. He has a purpose in our being there. He has something he wants to do through us, wherever we are.
