Isaiah 9:6 All Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! One Lo, your king comes to you; All Triumphant and victorious is he; humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Hymn Hosanna, Loud Hosanna Ellacombe Children and Chancel Choir in procession: Hosanna to the King of Kings! Hosanna, let the praises ring! Hosanna to the King of Kings! Hosanna, let them ring! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna! Hosanna to the King of Kings! Hosanna to the King! p Congregation standing, singing as directed 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 victor 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! p Prayer of Adoration p Choral Adoration A Palm Sunday Antiphon David C.

Ride on in majesty! Hark! All the tribe hosanna cry; O Savior meek, pursue thy road with palms and scattered garments strowed. Congregation Ride on! Ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die: O Christ, thy triumphs now begin o’er captive death and conquered sin. Confession of Sin in unison Almighty God; your Son our savior entered Jerusalem in triumph, and was proclaimed messiah and king. Many spread garments and branches along his way, but they did not know that this path would lead to Calvary. As we also raise branches of palms and sing “Hosanna,” help us remember that the one who came in the name of the Lord, came for our redemption and restoration. Forgive our sins and cleanse us. Show us ever more clearly how to follow Christ Jesus all the way to the cross. Silent Confession Assurance of Pardon Believe the good news of the Gospel. In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God. p Congregational Response Truro Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates, behold, the King of glory waits; The King of kings is drawing near; the Savior of the world is here.

Servant Song Choir Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you? Pray that I might have the grace to let you be my servant, too. Congregation We are pilgrims on a journey all together on the road. We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load. When we sing to God in heaven, we shall find such harmony Born of all we’ve known together of Christ’s love and agony. Richard Gillard 3 p Affirmation of Faith Rev. Evangeline Taylor In life and in death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, who alone we worship and serve. We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition. Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his human life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to eternal life. from A Brief Statement of Faith, 1983 Pastoral Prayer and The Lord’s Prayer Offering of Tithes and Gifts Sanctus Charles Gounod from Messe Solennelle Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth, pleni sunt coeli et terra Gloria tua.

  • Pastor's Meanderings 17 – 18 March 2018 Fifth Sunday Of
    PASTOR’S MEANDERINGS 17 – 18 MARCH 2018 FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT (B) SUNDAY REFLECTION Lord, you have nourished us with the bread of life, made from the wheat of your life, given for us on the Cross and in the Last Supper. You strengthen us with your word of promise in the Scriptures which enlighten our path. Make our hearts burn within us as we gather round your altar to accept you and your word. Help us look in faith on the Cross from which you continually draw us onwards towards you who are our everlasting future. STEWARDSHIP: Cycle B Reading “If anyone would serve Me,” says Jesus in today’s Gospel, “let him follow Me; where I am, there will my servant be.” In what way is Jesus inviting me to follow Him? What service is He asking of me? Cycle A Reading When Jesus heard about the illness of His friend, Lazarus, He responded, “This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Every aspect of our lives – our sufferings as well as our gifts – can, if surrendered to Christ, lead to blessing for ourselves and others. Tertullian “He who lives to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies.” READINGS FOR PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD 25 MAR ‘18 Mk. 11:1-10: in fulfilment of ancient prophecy and deep longings, the Messiah enters His city to bring His people lasting peace. Is. 50:4-7: The one who suffers insult and rejection continues to place his trust in God.

Introduction The Varieties of Liturgical Performance For centuries Christians have explained their repeated enactment of the Holy Eucharist as an attempt to remain faithful to Jesus’ words at the Last Supper: “Do this in remembrance of me.”1 Justin Martyr (c. 100 ‒ c. 165), whose First Apology and Dialogue with Trypho are two of the oldest explana- tions of the Christian meal, traces its celebration to these very words: “The apostles, in their memoirs which are called gospels, have handed down that they were commanded to this: Jesus took bread, and, after giving thanks, said ‘Do this in remembrance of me; this is my body.” And again, “[T]he offering of fine flour ...was a type of the bread of the eucharist which our Lord Jesus Christ commanded us to offer in memory of the Passion He en- dured.”2 This “argument” would be repeated over and over again by apolo- gists and theologians East and West and would survive into the modern pe- riod in the debate between Protestants and Catholics over the place of the Eucharist in the life of the church.

  • Easter Stories and Activities
    Easter Stories and Activities DH 2021 Setting the Scene Jesus was born a Jew and probably called Yeshua; Jesus is the Greek translation of his name. He was born in modern day Palestine, in about the year 5CE. In his adult life Jesus was a travelling rabbi or religious teacher; some people recognised him as more than this, they believed that he was the promised Jewish Messiah or Saviour. Jesus lived in a country which was occupied by the Romans. It was then known as Judea, in what we now know as Israel and Palestine; the Jewish people longed to overthrow the Roman occupiers. The Romans conquered Judea in 63BC. They appointed a Jewish puppet king called Herod; later his son, also called Herod, ruled the country; but in actual fact the Romans were always in overall control. The Jewish scriptures, the Tanakh, teach that the Jews are God's chosen people (with as a result, certain responsibilities not privileges) and a Messiah, God’s anointed or chosen one would come to the Jewish people, to fulfill God's promise to make them a powerful nation and establish God’s Kingdom on earth. This hope was particularly strong at the time when Jesus was alive as the Jews wanted to be free from Roman occupation. Many people hoped that Jesus would be the one to set them free from Roman oppression and establish a Jewish Kingdom in their lifetime. Jesus went to Jerusalem to celebrate the Jewish festival of Pesach or Passover. He went with 12 friends or disciples. When he entered the city he was met by crowds waving branches.

Our prayer is that everyone who worships at National will find a spiritual home here – a home where the love and presence of Jesus Christ are experienced whenever we gather. On Sundays we gather in community to worship God through music, prayer, and preaching. Classes and groups are offered for adults, teens, and children, and childcare is available all morning. Just as preaching and teaching equip us to serve as Christ’s light in the world, we are also called to engage the world by showing God’s love to one another.

    An empty tomb. Over 500 witnesses to Christ’s death and resurrection. Many were tortured but no one changed their testimony. We agree with Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Francis Bacon, Lise Meitner, Francis Collins, and many other scientists and scholars that faith in Jesus provides purpose and guidance for living life well today, tomorrow, and with Him thereafter for all eternity.

  • THE INTER-RELATIONSHIP of Efusic and ENGLISH POETRY
    THE INTER-RELATIONSHIP OF EfUSIC AND ENGLISH POETRY DURING THE MIDDLE AGES (llJO-lJOO) by SOPHIE A.F. BADGER A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the standard required from candidates for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1957. -Abstract- This thesis must be regarded as an outline, rather than an exhaustive study, of the inter-relationship of music and poetry during the Middle Ages (that is, from the middle of the twelfth to the end of the fifteenth century)• It is always difficult to set limits for creative movements and, when they have been set, to justify them and to work consistently within them, for one cannot make definite divisions between movements, nor confine trends of thought and creative impulse within the boundaries of a definite space of time. The year 1150 was chosen as the first limit of this essay because little in English has come down to us from the first half of the century, and the small amount that has, belongs to the Old English rather than the Middle English tradition. Since medieval and renaissance trends overlapped each other throughout the entire fifteenth century the terminal limit (1500) had to be chosen arhitrarily. The adoption of 1500 has more than the convenience of a round number to recommend it, however, for most of the literature of the fifteenth century belongs to the Middle English tradition; even those developments at the end of the century which look forward to the renaissance are not of such a revolutionary character that they cannot he considered as still part of medieval literature.

His living on earth had a place and purpose in God’s plan as well as His dying. The tremendous impact of His death with all its redemptive meaning is related to the splendor of His living. The stature of His cross on the “hill far away” is enhanced by His good life. It stands, always visible, towering high on time’s horizon. Its silhouette is sharp­ ened by the light of His earthly life which preceded His death.
