Opening Prayer
Almighty God, we thank you for the opportunity to gather this afternoon. We thank you for the new season of spring that has finally come after a long winter. We thank you for the season of Lent in which we have journeyed. And Lord, we thank you for the faithful service of one of your children, Reggie Hanson, who went home to glory on Tuesday. We include his family and friends in our prayer now as his celebration of life this afternoon at the Pentecost Church.
Lord, we thank you for Holy Week that is about to begin on Sunday with Palm Sunday. We rejoice with those who were joyful that the Messiah had come and we grieve along with Christ’s loved ones who heard the crowd shout “Crucify Him!” on Friday. We most especially thank you and praise you our brother and our Redeemer, the Risen Lord Jesus Christ who chose to drink of the cup and to climb our cross to defeat sin forever. We rejoice that death was not the final word. We have victory in Jesus because He arose on Easter morning!
Amen!
