Folk - Palm Sunday is going to be a little different this year. Take a look at the order of worship below and let me know if you have any questions. "King of Kings" is new to the congregation but by no means a new song. Only two chords in it; i'm sure we'll be fine. See you Thursday @ 6:30!

1. Palm Sunday, the entrance to Jerusalem. Jesus is blessed. Mark 11:1-11
Entrance Songs:
- “King of Kings” (Em)
- “Awesome God” (Em)

2. Monday, the temple courtyard. Jesus is angered. Mark 11:12-19
Confession & Forgiveness of Sins

3. Tuesday, the temple courtyard. Jesus is questioned. Mark 11:27-12:12
Apostles’ Creed
Song – “We Fall Down” (G)

4. Tuesday evening, in Bethany. Jesus is anointed. Mark 14:1-9
Offering

5. Thursday, the “upper room.” Jesus is offered. Mark 14:12-26
Holy Communion
Distribution Songs:
- "Wash My Feet" (D) (Eric)
- "Breathe" (G)
- "All Who Are Thirsty" (D)
- "Create In Me A Clean Heart" (G)

6. Thursday Evening, Gethsemane. Jesus is betrayed. Mark 14:32-50

7. Thursday Night, High Priest’s house. Jesus is rejected. Mark 14:53-65

8. Thursday Night, High Priest’s house. Jesus is disowned. Mark 14:66-72
Prayers

9. Friday Morning, Antonia Fortress. Jesus is sentenced to die. Mark 15:6-20
Closing Song – “Before The Cross” (Am)

10. Friday, Golgotha. Jesus is crucified and buried. Mark 16:1-6

Note that i'll play "Wash My Feet" while you guys receive Communion. There won't be any of the normal "liturgical" pieces to worry about this time around. The service will pretty much be as it's printed here. If you looked on the blog earlier today (before Noon) and saw something for Palm Sunday posted then, please disregard that posting. This is the revised and final version. Thanks!

P.S. - Take a break and enjoy the Telecaster Master (playing a Strat here) enjoying a solo or two with Dobro legend Jerry Douglas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7z9JGMN2Cw

E.T.'s Lenten Film Review

Hey - For the 40-Days of Lent I’ll be reviewing motion pictures and posting reviews online. I’ll be making critical reviews (based on directions, editing, scoring, etc.) and be looking at the film through the “lens” of Scripture. For each movie I’ll determine a “Reel Revelation”; a Biblical concept we can see in action that can encourage us to live out more faithfully the life Christ has given. Come on by!
