Prelude "The Mind of Christ" (Philippians 2:5-11) Mark Hayes
Jubilate Choir

 

Welcome Pastor Tim Klinkenberg

 

Ringing of the Bell

 

Palm Sunday Responses
Liturgist: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
People: And also with you.
Liturgist: Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord.
People: Hosanna to the Son of David!

 
Procession with Palms “All Glory, Laud, and Honor” (LSB 442)
verses 1, 2, 3 and 4

Refrain:
All glory, laud, and honor
To You, Redeemer, King,
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

You are the King of Israel
And David’s royal Son,
Now in the Lord’s name coming,
Our King and Blessèd One. refrain

 
The company of angels
Is praising You on high,
And we with all creation
In chorus make reply. refrain

 
The multitude of pilgrims
With palms before You went;
Our praise and prayer and anthems
Before You we present. refrain

 
To You before Your passion
They sang their hymns of praise;
To You, now high exalted,
Our melody we raise. refrain

 

Confession and Absolution
Liturgist: Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
People: Hosanna in the highest.
Liturgist: Lord, we confess our sins to You, and ask Your forgiveness, for the sake of Your Son.
People: We proclaim “hosanna” to You, Lord, yet we turn from Your ways and Your commandments. We say, “blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord,” yet we fail to worship Christ as King in our daily actions and attitudes. Grant us humble hearts. Grant us wisdom to know Your will. Grant us courage to do what is right, and grant us the strength of will to follow Your commandments.
Liturgist: Almighty God, You sent Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, to take our flesh upon Himself and to suffer death on the cross. Grant that we may share in His obedience to Your will and in the glorious victory of His resurrection.
People: Amen.
Liturgist: It is now my joy and privilege, as a servant of Christ, to announce to you the forgiveness of all our sins, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.

 

Processional Hymn (conclusion) “All Glory, Laud, and Honor”
verse 5
All glory, laud, and honor
To You, Redeemer, King,
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

 
As You received their praises,
Accept the prayers we bring,
O Source of ev’ry blessing,
Our good and gracious King.

 
Choir:

All glory, laud, and honor
To You, Redeemer, King,
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

 

Palm Sunday Story (Read from the midst of the people.) John 12:12-19 NIV

¹² The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. ¹³ They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,

“Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!” ¹⁴ Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:

¹⁵ “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion;
    see, your king is coming,
    seated on a donkey’s colt.”

¹⁶ At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.

¹⁷ Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. ¹⁸ Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him. ¹⁹ So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”
Liturgist: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

 

Anthem “Hosanna to Our Savior King” arr. Sondra Tucker
St. John’s 1st Grade Choir and Jubilate Choir

 
Old Testament Reading Isaiah 50:4-9a NIV

⁴ The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue,
    to know the word that sustains the weary.
He wakens me morning by morning,
    wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.
⁵ The Sovereign Lord has opened my ears;
    I have not been rebellious,
    I have not turned away.
⁶ I offered my back to those who beat me,
    my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face
    from mocking and spitting.
⁷ Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
    I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,
    and I know I will not be put to shame.
⁸ He who vindicates me is near.
    Who then will bring charges against me?
    Let us face each other!
Who is my accuser?
    Let him confront me!
⁹ It is the Sovereign Lord who helps me.

    Who will condemn me?
Lector: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

 
Epistle Lesson Philippians 2:5-11 NIV

⁵In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: ⁶Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; ⁷rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. ⁸And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death- even death on a cross! ⁹Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, ¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
Lector: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

Hymn of the Day “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna” (LSB 443)

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 heav’n our King.
Oh, may we ever praise Him
With heart and life and voice
And in His blissful presence
Eternally rejoice!

 Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Prayers of the Church 

Liturgist: Lord, in your mercy,
People: Hear our prayer.

 

Hymn of Response “Ride On, Ride On in Majesty”
If you wish to follow the music, refer to hymnal 967.

Choir: 
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hark! All the tribes hosanna cry.
O Savior meek, pursue Thy road,
With palms and scattered garments strowed.

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.

Ride on, ride on in majesty!
The angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wond’ring eyes
To see the approaching sacrifice.

 

All sing:

Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh.
The Father on His sapphire throne
Awaits His own anointed Son.

Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die.
Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain,
Then take, O God, Thy pow’r and reign.

The Lord's Prayer

Liturgist:    Lord, remember us in Your kingdom and teach us to pray:
People:   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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen.

 
Benediction
Liturgist: The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you.
The Lord look upon you with favor and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24–26)
People: Amen.

 

Closing Hymn “How Great Thou Art” (LSB 801)
verse 3

But when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in—
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin;

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Prayers of the Church
March 22, 2026

Lord God, You deliver our souls from death, our eyes from tears,
and our feet from stumbling.

By Your great goodness, mercifully look upon Your people,
that we may be governed and preserved evermore in body and soul. Lord, in Your mercy,

Heavenly Father, in Baptism, You have given the new birth of water and the Spirit.

We give You thanks for the Baptism today of Eleanor Ray Maass,
daughter of Matthew and Amanda, granddaughter of Jason and Dawn Johnson,
great-granddaughter of Barbara Tway, and Ray and Linda Johnson.

Make her and all Your baptized children strong in Your Spirit,
that they may cast away the works of darkness and shine Your light in this world,
expecting the resurrection and the life of the world to come. Lord, in Your mercy,

God of love, we love because You first loved us.

We give You thanks for 38 years of marriage for Mike and Denise Weyhrich.

Continue to sustain them both in health and happiness.
Watch over them and all spouses, that through trials and triumphs,
they may grow closer to You and to one another. Lord, in Your mercy,

Lord of hosts, You are the true source of life,
which You give through the power of Your Spirit.

Humble those who are given authority over the lives of our people,
especially President Trump, Governor Newsom, and Mayor Slater,
that they would discharge this duty honorably in accord with Your will.

Protect those whom You have called to serve –
our active and reserve military, our local police, fire, and all first responders.

Guard and watch over them,
and grant them energy and endurance for their long days and nights of service.
Lord, in Your mercy,

O great Redeemer, we hope in You,
for with You there is steadfast love and redemption.

We cry out to You on behalf of those suffering affliction, including those who asked for prayer during our prayer and healing service, Peggy Costello, Patti Gutierrez, Karen Higgins, Phyllis Lindley, Skyler Miller, Jean Phelps, Walter Quandt, Rev. David Wobrock, those on our printed prayer lists, and those known to You and named from our hearts and minds…

Assure them that their sins have been washed away in Christ, forgiven in His blood.
Grant them healing and relief from their burdens, according to Your will.
Lord, in Your mercy,

Gracious Father, Your Son is the resurrection and the life, in whom all the dead will rise and through whom Your elect will live eternally in Your presence.

Give comfort to all who mourn,
especially the family and friends of Molly Wells, sister of Esther Ouellette.
May the bereaved grieve with living hope in the crucified and risen One. Lord, in Your mercy,

O Lord, God almighty, through Your Son,
You have kept the promise of the ages and rescued us from sin.

You have raised up the dry bones of a people captive to death
and made us alive in Christ forever.

Sustain us in this hope, that we may endure the tests, trials, and troubles of this life,
and be ready when our Savior comes again in glory; through Jesus Christ, Your Son,
our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
