Rev. Elias Burgos led today’s service, which observed the fifth Sunday in Lent. His message was entitled “Jesus Misunderstood.” Kathy Frank served as liturgist. Scripture readings included Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29, Philippians 2:5–11 and Matthew 21:1–11.
In remembrance of Jesus riding into Jerusalem more than 2,000 years ago, everyone was given a small palm branch to wave.
Hymns, accompanied by Barbara Greene (piano) and Manh Ong (guitar), included:
Hosanna, Loud Hosanna
All Glory, Laud and Honor
Ride On! Ride On in Majesty
Vocalist Sylvia Alamillo presented a very moving rendition of “Via Dolorosa” (“The Way of Sorrow”) which told the story of Jesus’s journey to the cross.
