Below is a resource for family worship today. Typically this service takes place in the evening as we remember the upper room and the last supper. We have designed it for you to share at a table with your family and we hope it is meaningful for you.

PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP
Friends, we invite you to gather around your table; light a candle; and bring your juice, and crackers or bread to share in this symbolic final meal Jesus shared with his disciples.  Take time to prepare for this service of worship and remembrance.

WELCOME AND MEANING OF THE SERVICE  Rev. Aho
We gather on Thursday night of Holy Week to remember the Upper Room. Jesus, on the night before the hardest day, shared the holy Passover meal with his disciples. They talked, they ate, they remembered, and they learned. Little did they know this meal was preparing them for a day they could not imagine.

Tonight, we gather even though we know what is coming. We gather BECAUSE we know what is coming.

And in our gathering, we look for the same things the disciples found. We look for support, for instruction, and care. May we, even though we gather from afar tonight, find a connection to support, understanding, and care on the eve of Good Friday and Easter weekend.

CALL TO WORSHIP   (read together in unison)
In the dark of evening, guided by candlelight, we come to remember and give thanks.
In the solemnness of this hour, guided by prayer, we come to worship, to be fed by God’s
Spirit, to be filled with Christ’s amazing love.

HYMN “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”   HAMBURG  
When I survey the wondrous cross, on which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God.
All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood.

See, from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown.

 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small.
  Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
~Text by Isaac Watts (PD)

PRAYER OF CONFESSION    Rev. Aho
Ever gracious God, we gather this evening hour as friends gathered with Jesus in an upper room long ago. We come bearing the marks of a bitter and broken world. We come from anonymous places, with dry and thirsty spirits. Remind us in the breaking of the bread of our need and your sufficiency. Refresh us and make us whole with the cup of forgiveness. Draw us nearer to each other in mutual service and closer to you in the covenant of faithfulness and thanksgiving. As the night advances, deepen in us a sense of your steadfast love for us in Jesus Christ, our friend and Redeemer.
Amen.

 

WORDS OF ASSURANCE         (to be read in unison)
God listens closely to our prayers. 
God hears our requests for mercy.
The cup of salvation has been poured out for us.
In the name of Christ, who loves us fully we are forgiven.  Amen.

 

MUSIC MEDITATION  “In Love Christ Came Among Us”  J. Martin
Youth Choir

 In love Christ came among us, coming not as king, but as a tiny baby
born in Bethlehem; and we knew Him not.
With grace, He walked among us and showed us how to love;
giving, teaching, healing, calling us to God; and we followed not.
Ah, Holy Jesus, who brought this upon Thee?
Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee!
‘Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee.
I crucified Thee.

In love, Christ came among us and went to Calvary. The perfect Lamb of God died to set us free, and still we loved Him not, and we followed not, and we knew Him not.
Kyrie eleison, Lord, have mercy.

MEDITATION     Rev. Aho

The disciples didn’t know what this night would hold. They knew it was the Passover. They expected a special meal with their beloved friends and their rabbi, Jesus. But beyond that, they had no idea what was coming.

Looking back, it makes sense. It had been a different kind of week. All of Jerusalem was in tumult because of the way Jesus entered the city on Palm Sunday. Jesus taught parables throughout the week. He had denounced religious leaders, overturned tables in the temple, cursed a fig tree, praised a widow, and, well, things that gospel writers do not record. What we do know is Luke devotes almost three chapters to Sunday through Thursday, which is unusual because the Gospels usually just hit the high points.  As we look back, Jesus’s actions were clear, but during the Passover meal and in the moment, they were likely quite surprised.

Yet, on this night each year, we go back to that upper room. We return on Maundy Thursday to share the meal again. We remember the foot washing, the teaching, and the supper. With hindsight, we now look back to see how Jesus was preparing the disciples. He knew the circumstances would soon seem unbearable. Jesus knew the resurrection celebration was a long way away. So at that table, he gave them what they needed before they knew they needed it.

At the table with Jesus, they found fellowship and support. As they shared the Passover meal, and Jesus taught, they were blessed with time together. And as we gather on this night, we seek the blessing of support through fellowship.

The disciples needed strength for the journey. What we eat has an impact on how we feel. This Passover meal with the disciples prepared them from the difficult days that followed. They were strengthened through their fellowship and nourished by their meal. As we gather on this night, we look for the same.

And finally, Jesus gave them something to carry forward. When he gave them the bread and the cup, he assured them of his love. Each time they shared in the elements, they would rediscover God’s love through his ministry, and through the new covenant that was coming through his blood and resurrection. When we share the bread and cup, we do it because we too need to be assured of Jesus’ love, ministry, and covenant of forgiveness.

As we consider Holy Week this year, we see that, more than ever, we need the same things Jesus gave the disciples at that meal, right? While we walk through Holy Week, our lives hold a certain anxiety and uncertainty. We are isolated, which prohibits the community support we need. However, the promises that came through Jesus on that Passover night in the upper room remain the same for us today. Like the disciples, we walk through strange days. That is why we return to the upper room for the support, strength, and a promise to carry forward. Jesus gives us the simple bread and cup to remind us of this love, his assurance, his forgiveness, and His resurrection for all of us. So tonight, we spiritually gather in this upper room to remember that night with the disciples. We receive Jesus’s promises of his presence, his strength, his support, and his love, each step of the way, no matter where the path takes us.  Amen.

WORDS OF PREPARATION  – Luke 22:7-20
Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, ‘Take this and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.’ Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

THE LORD’S SUPPER

Tonight, we take the bread and the cup to remember the promises of God. Of course, tonight is very different. We have never shared communion this way before. But in sharing communion, we are sharing something special and something spiritual, but not something magical or prone to judgment. Instead, the elements for communion assure us of God’s love for us through Jesus’ ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection.

Therefore, tonight, we encourage everyone to take a piece of bread and a sip from a cup when the time is right. These elements are simple, they are common, and that’s the point. That they are plentiful as a reminder of God’s abundant presence and love for each of us.

To share in the Lord’s Supper as a family, have each member take a piece of the bread you have with you. Then have one person speak aloud the words:
On the night before he was betrayed, with his disciples, Jesus took bread, he blessed it, he broke it, and he said, “this is my body which is broken for you and given to you. Take and eat in remembrance of me.”

Then, take the cup, or have each person take their own cup, while one person speaks these words:
“Jesus took the cup and shared it with his disciples saying, “This cup is my blood shed for you. It is the cup of the new covenant for salvation. Take and drink.”

Then share these final words:
“as often as we take bread and cup, we proclaim this Lord’s promise to be with us and provide for us until he returns.”

The Gospel of Matthew tells us that following the meal, “When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.” And that is how we will conclude our service tonight, with a hymn and benediction.

MUSIC MEDITATION  “Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed”  arr., G. Martin
Alas,  and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head for sinners such as I?

 But drops of grief can ne’er repay the debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give my self away, ‘tis all that I can do.
~Isaac Watts (PD)

 

BENEDICTION      (read together in unison)

 As gathered families, we remember this night.
We remember the broken bread, the shared cup, and the cleansing water.
We go into this night remembering and celebrating Christ’s presence among us.
We go in peace. Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today’s worship resource will be released in the late afternoon for use as an evening service of family worship and communion.

Below is a morning prayer.

Lord, we pray not for tranquility,
nor that our tribulations may cease;
we pray for thy spirit and thy love,
that thou grant us strength and grace to overcome adversity;
through Jesus Christ. Amen.

—Girolamo Savonarola, Italy, 15th century

Here is a poetic prayer by Cheryl Lawrie and posted on her site, http://holdthisspace.org.au/
And a direct link to her Palm Sunday Sending Out from 2014

And now we lay down the palm branches.
And with them we lay down
our belief
that there is another way for you to be God.

As the last echo of the final alleluia fades,
so does our hope that this journey can end
in any other way.

The week stretches ahead
glory-less
and pain-full

Whether we walk with all faith or none
we look towards the cross,
knowing it is both the most human
and most divine
of all journeys

travel the road with courage,
with love,
and with the uneasy peace that is the gift of faith
into this holiest of weeks.

Amen.

 

For Tuesday of Holy Week, may we find it fitting to think through, and pray through, the prayer Jesus taught us to pray:

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in 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, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever.
Amen.

God of the present moment,
God who in Jesus stills the storm
and soothes the frantic heart;
bring hope and courage to all those
who wait in uncertainty.
Bring hope that you will make them and us the equal
of whatever lies ahead.
Bring us all the courage to endure what cannot be avoided,
for your will is health and wholeness;
you are God, and we need you. Amen.
     ~New Zealand Prayer Book (p.765)

CALL TO WORSHIP    Mary Kate Burns and Caroline Williams
(This may be read in unison or shared between people in your home)

This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
God’s steadfast love endures forever.

The stone the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing.  It is marvelous in our eyes.

Bind the festival processional with branches.
Jesus is the gate of the Lord.  The righteous enter through him.

This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

PALM SUNDAY HYMN    “All Glory, Laud, and Honor”    ST. THEODULPH

 All glory, laud and honor to Thee, Redeemer, King.
To whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring.
Thou art the King of Israel, Thou David’s royal Son.
Who in the Lord’s name comest, the King and blessed One.

The company of angels are praising Thee on high,
and mortal men and all things created make reply.
The people of the Hebrews with palms before Thee went.
Our praise and prayer and anthems before Thee we present.

To Thee, before Thy passion they sang their hymns of praise.
To Thee, now high exalted, our melody we raise.
Thou didst accept their praises. Accept the praise we bring,
Who in all good delightest, Thou good and gracious King!

MUSIC FOR WORSHIP     “Beneath the Cross of Jesus”    arr., H. Hopson
    Sanctuary Choir           Sam Hampton, violin

 Beneath the cross of Jesus, I fain would take my stand.
The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land.
A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat and the burden of the day.

Upon the cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One who suffered there for me.
And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess,
The wonders of His glorious love and my unworthiness.

Adoramus te, O Domine Jesu Christe.
We adore Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ.
~Text by E. C. Clephane, 1868 (PD)

PALM SUNDAY MEDITATION    “Two Things”    Rev. Aho 

Today we celebrate Palm Sunday, but this year, instead of children marching down the aisles with Palms, we stay at home. It is strange to only imagine such a vivid worship experience. Palm Sunday delivers the amazing pageantry and excitement to kick off Holy Week, but even without the typical cues, I hope we can see that Palm Sunday is about both the road ahead and Jesus.

If we think about the road ahead, our situation is not unlike that of the folks who met Jesus on Palm Sunday. As they prepped the donkey, grabbed the palms, and laid down their cloaks, they couldn’t see the future. And today, neither can we. As we share worship from home, normal seems like a mirage on the horizon and we have no idea what might pop up between today and someday. Right?

For some, this evokes despair. With all these uncertainties, it is easy to be overwhelmed. And this reminds us that if we only focus on the road, it can be hard. The road from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday meandered through a valley of difficulty. And our path through this virus season may also become arduous.

Therefore, to focus only on the road ahead is daunting. Considering what lies ahead is important but obsessing about every step is a recipe for failure. Thankfully, Palm Sunday is about more than preparing for the difficult road through Holy week. Palm Sunday also points the eyes of our hearts toward Jesus.

Those first Palm Sunday worshipers really saw Jesus, didn’t they? They saw their rabbi, healer, teacher, and Messiah on that donkey. As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the memories of a calmed sea and a walk on water undoubtedly rushed back. I bet they shared testimonies about his power and his compassion. And I am sure they retold stories like the 5000 he fed, the ones he healed, and all the other instances which reshapes their shared experience of life.

So to see Jesus on Palm Sunday is a celebration which is topped only by Easter Sunday, the Sunday that changes everything. And to celebrate today means we do not just consider the difficult road Jesus will soon walk through Holy Week, but we are assured that the messiah who rose after Holy Week also will walk our difficult roads with us today.

Thinking ahead, I can’t wait for March 27^th, 2021, our next Palm Sunday. To get to that day, we must not be discouraged by what lies between here and there. If we only focus on the road, we may not make it. So today, we raise the palms to our savior.

We look to Jesus, who will not be kept in the tomb.

And I hope we remember that Jesus both walked all the roads for us and promises to along our roads with us as well.

Today, I pray that we will see through the palms of Sunday, past the road ahead, to focus on our Savior so we might draw close to him as he walks the road with us.  Amen.

OUR OFFERINGS
Taking up an offering is an act of worship and a part of our service each week.  It is important to remember that our offering not only supports the ministry of the church but is an expression of our thankfulness for all God has given us.  We give today because God first gave to us.

BENEDICTION
The gates of righteousness are thrown wide
and we go with God’s blessings.
The path of salvation is made plain
And we go in Christ’s truth.
The cornerstone of our faith is sure
And we go with the Spirit of God’s grace.
We go with God and walk with Christ during this holy week.  Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This scripture reading from Philippians is familiar and helpful on the eve of Palm Sunday and Holy Week. May we prepare our hearts to walk with Jesus, our savior who promises to walk with us. 

Philippians 2.1-11

 

Today’s brief prayer is from the Book of Common Prayer. 

“Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake.” (BCP)

Morning Note: I accidentally scheduled this for 4:50pm instead of 4:50am. That is why it is late today!  ca

Good Morning Friends,

The forecast for Thursday Morning is “sunny and about 47 degrees at 8am,” so I hope you enjoy some morning sunshine, a good breakfast, and are ready for this day because even from home, this is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Below I will have a psalm for the day, but today I begin with a question:
can we make this space a little more interactive?

For a few weeks I have been sharing mostly written resources with you but I wonder if we could share something with each other? Could we share some pictures with each other that might be our devotionals for next week?

Here is my proposal: The Advent-After-Easter Photo Project
During Advent, we emphasize four themes, HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and LOVE.
And we need those things now also, don’t we?!?!

I wonder if we could share photos with each other that reflect the ways we are cultivating hope, peace, joy, and love while we are staying at home?
What are you doing that generates the spirit of these emotions within your family?
Did you write on your driveway to your neighbors?
Did you zoom with your school friends?
Were you a part of a socially-distanced parade of teachers or neighbors?
Have you put stuffed animals in your windows for all to see?
Are you in a month long board game of Monopoly out of your love for your siblings? Think about those things, then snap a picture and plan to submit your photo to me. 

Here are the guidelines:

Email me a single photo with the appropriate label: HOPE, PEACE, JOY, or LOVE.
You can submit four-six photos per family. I will compile all the photos and put them in a daily video slideshow for the week following Easter.

Each day will have a different theme: Monday is Hope, Tuesday is Peace, Wednesday is Joy, and Thursday will be love, with a different slideshow each day.

Feel free to get creative with your photos.
Have fun and remember that photos will be public so use your discretion when you make submissions.

I will put the photos in a slideshow and we, the church, will be the encouraging devotional for each day that week.
The deadline for the Hope and Peace photos is Good Friday, April 10th.
The deadline for Joy and Love photos is Monday, April 13th.

I hope this makes sense to you. If you have any questions, send me an email.  And please be patient with me and clear with me about how to use your photos.

It is hard to be isolated and separated. Hopefully, by seeing each other the week after Easter, we can make our month of isolation move along a little more quickly.

Peace, Chris Aho

 

A Psalm for Today: 
Psalm 118 – A Song of Victory

O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
   his steadfast love endures for ever!

Let Israel say,
   ‘His steadfast love endures for ever.’
Let the house of Aaron say,
   ‘His steadfast love endures for ever.’
Let those who fear the Lord say,
   ‘His steadfast love endures for ever.’

Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
   the Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.
With the Lord on my side I do not fear.
   What can mortals do to me?
The Lord is on my side to help me;
   I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
   than to put confidence in mortals.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
   than to put confidence in princes.

All nations surrounded me;
   in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
   in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
They surrounded me like bees;
   they blazed like a fire of thorns;
   in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,
   but the Lord helped me.
The Lord is my strength and my might;
   he has become my salvation.

There are glad songs of victory in the tents of the righteous:
‘The right hand of the Lord does valiantly;
   the right hand of the Lord is exalted;
   the right hand of the Lord does valiantly.’
I shall not die, but I shall live,
   and recount the deeds of the Lord.
The Lord has punished me severely,
   but he did not give me over to death.

Open to me the gates of righteousness,
   that I may enter through them
   and give thanks to the Lord.

This is the gate of the Lord;
   the righteous shall enter through it.

I thank you that you have answered me
   and have become my salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected
   has become the chief cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing;
   it is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
   let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Save us, we beseech you, O Lord!
   O Lord, we beseech you, give us success!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
   We bless you from the house of the Lord.
The Lord is God,
   and he has given us light.
Bind the festal procession with branches,
   up to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
   you are my God, I will extol you.

O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
   for his steadfast love endures for ever.

This is a resource for you to use for prayer this week. It has been updated from last week but remains based on a typical Vespers service on Wednesdays. Of course, this has been modified for you to do on your own. I hope that by all of us sharing in the same resources, even though we are apart, we can sense some togetherness.

For the season of Lent, our devotionals were to consider prayer and ways of praying. We will continue this week with a lectio divina practice related to the scriptures for the week. Lection divina is simply, a way of reading scripture as prayer. The instructions are included in the liturgy and sources are footnoted.

 As you approach this liturgy this week, you can use it alone of with your family.
If you are practicing alone, of course just work your way through the prayers and hymns.

If you are practicing with others, alternate lines or paragraphs as you read and sing aloud. And if you would like to use it more than just once, substitute a different scripture for the Philippians passage.

I hope this resource is helpful to you. Feel free to share it as you are able.

Chris Aho

 

Gathering Prayer

Merciful God,
your strength and courage pour forth
to sustain the witness of your faithful people.
Awaken in us the humility to serve
wherever creation is broken and in need,
that we may follow in the way of our brother, Jesus,
die as he did to all that separates us from you,
and with him be raised to new life. Amen.

Hymn – O God, Our Help in Ages Past
(Sing alone, together, or pray the lyrics if you do not wish to sing)

 1 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home.

 2 Under the shadow of thy throne thy saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure.

3 Before the hills in order stood or earth received her frame, from everlasting you are God, to endless years the same.

Intercessory Prayer[1]
(This is a time when we pray for the concerns of our friends, family and community)

Caught between joy and despair,
we yearn for the fulfillment of God’s desire
beyond the brokenness and neediness of this life.
We offer thanksgiving for God’s presence with us
and petitions for the transformation
of the church and the world.

(offer prayers for your family, friends, community, and world during a time of silence)

Prayers of the People, concluding with:

Life-giver, Pain-bearer, Love-maker,
day by day you sustain the weary with your word
and gently encourage us to place our trust in you.
Awaken us to the suffering of those around us;
save us from hiding in denials or taunts that deepen the hurt;
give us grace to share one another’s burdens in humble service. Amen.

 

Today’s Prayer Practice –
Lectio Divina, Philippians 2.5-11[2]

 This exercise should take no less than 10 minutes. Feel free to allow it to take longer.

 If you are practicing with others, you can share your answers after a moment of silence but before the next reading begins.

 If you are practicing with children (well done!), reframe the questions for their understanding.

Let’s begin. We will read Philippians 2.5-11 several times. Each time we read, we will read slowly and intentionally.

Philippians 2.5-11
5Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
8   he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.

9 Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

 

First Reading– Read aloud if you can. As you read, consider what words or phrases stick out.
When you are finished reading, pause and write them down. This reading cycle should take 2-5 minutes.

Second Reading– Read again slowly. Consider what God is saying to us as we read and pray this passage. Maybe write down your thoughts.

Third Reading– Reading again, consider how God might be asking you to respond because of this passage. Is there some way you need to act, work, or feel differently because of this reading?

Fourth Reading– Read this passage one last time and rest. Sit with the passage. If you can be silent for 10 minutes, let your thoughts turn to what you have heard from the Spirit of God and allow the practice to settle in. When the time of silence is over, move on to the final hymn and prayer.

 

Hymn – O God, Our Help in Ages Past

4 A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun.

 5 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,
be now our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home.

Sending Off[3]

Now go with the Spirit,
from the comfort of this place,
so we may go to bring hope to the world.

Now carry the Light of Christ with you,
we will go into the shadows with this gift.

 Now trust in God who is always with you,
we will follow that life called discipleship. Amen
