This Sunday, April 1, 2012
Passion/Palm Sunday 8:15 a.m. Chapel 9:30 and 11 a.m. Sanctuary Sermon: "The Greatest Story Ever Told: What Jesus Really Said from the Cross" Scripture: Psalm 22 In agony on the cross, Jesus cries out to the Father, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" But few of us know what else he probably said. On this Passion/Palm Sunday, we hear some of the most poignant words possible. The stage is set for the momentous days to come. Preaching: Dr. Blair Monie
Music: The Sanctuary Choir will sing "Surely He Has Borne Our Griefs" by G. F. Handel at the 9:30 and 11 a.m. services. Also at the 9:30 and 11 a.m. services, all of the children's choirs will process with palms and sing the anthem "Sanctus (from Missa Choralis)" by Franz Liszt. Preschool classes process at 9:30.
Note: To accommodate special additions to our services this Sunday, our announcements will be at the beginning of the service.
