Prayer of confession: Loving God, you rode a donkey and came in peace, humbled yourself and gave yourself for us. We confess our lack of humility. As you entered Jerusalem, the crowds shouted "Hosanna: 'Save us now!'" On Good Friday they shouted "Crucify!" We confess our praise is often empty. We sing "Hosanna," but cry "Crucify." As the crowd laid their palms in front of you, you took no glory for yourself. We confess that we want to be accepted and take the easy way. We do not stay true to your will. Forgive us Lord and help us to follow in the way of obedience. Amen.

MEDITATION FOR HOLY WEEK: Palm Sunday is the kick-off for an entire week of liturgical celebrations leading up to the celebration of Christ's resurrection on Resurrection Sunday. As a way for us to keep in mind the significance of Holy Week, read what each of the special days means.
- Maundy Thursday marks three key events in Jesus' last week: his washing of his disciples' feet, his institution of the Lord's Supper, and his new commandment to love one another. The name "Maundy Thursday" comes from the Latin mandatum novum, referring to the "new commandment" Jesus taught his disciples in John 13:34.
- Good Friday - it's called "good" because of what Jesus' death means for the redemption of the world. Worship on this day may focus on three aims: to narrate and remember the events of Jesus' death, to open up the meaning of these events for understanding, and to invite worshipers to renewed prayer and dedication.
- Holy Saturday, or sometimes called "Silent Saturday." Just as Jesus' friends and family spent the Saturday following his crucifixion praying and waiting, we too can use this day as a day of meditation, prayer, and preparation.
- Easter - "All the hopes and expectations of Christians are realized in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, making Easter the most celebrative day of the church year."
