TODAY: MARCH 29 PALM SUNDAY The Price of OBEDIENCE Matthew 21: 1-9; Psalm 132 King David willingly paid a price to restore worship in Jerusalem for God’s people. The cost of obedience for Jesus to go to Jerusalem and die for his people was ultimate!

Singing as we travel goes way back to ancient days. Travelers sang playlists not of their personal tastes, but ones chosen by community worship leaders expressing life’s realities. Singing produced favorites. More importantly, it shaped the heart and soul of whole communities oriented to answering God who spoke and acted in their world and ours. What might we learn from Jesus who also sang these songs as he travels the road to suffering and death in Jerusalem? How might we be shaped by them and by him? Come along on the journey and sing with us! ___________________________ PRAYER - CONTINUE TO REMEMBER Stan VanderVeen as he adjusts to new challenges at home. - PRAY that God would continue to give increased strength and mobility to Howard Spaan along with patience for them as he anticipates coming home. - PRAISE GOD for healing that Nan Van Dyke experienced last week; pray for ongoing protection against infection. - PLEASE PRAY God’s blessing on these OHC families this week: Matt & Mary vanBuren, Ian & Nathaniel; and Jason & Crystal Van Dyken. - PLEASE PRAY for those from our church family struggling with on-going health issues. - PRAY FOR TROOPS and their families; pray for all those who live in countries where war and terror are a constant threat.

When a person you know comes to the Lord, celebrate with us by lighting a small candle from the flame of the Christ candle. __________________________ ANNOUNCEMENTS ADULT EDUCATION: So how do you know you are right with God?
