Worship Order Welcome and Announcements: Rev. John Hill Prelude: Caleb Dinger, Piano Call to Worship: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. And also with you. Taste and see the goodness of the Lord. Christ has prepared a feast of love. Opening Hymn: Lord Whose Love Through Humble ServiceLord Whose Love Through Humble Service Verse 1 Lord, whose love through humble service bore the weight of human need, who upon the cross, forsaken, offered mercy’s perfect deed: we, your servants, bring the worship not of voice alone, but heart, consecrating to your purpose every gift that you impart. Verse 2 Still your children wander homeless; still the hungry cry for bread; still the captives long for freedom; still in grief we mourn our dead. As, O Lord, your deep compassion healed the sick and freed the soul, use the love your Spirit kindles still to save and make us whole. Verse 3 As we worship, grant us vision, till your love’s revealing light, in its height and depth and greatness dawns upon our quickened sight, making known the needs and burdens your compassion bids us bear, stirring us to tireless striving, your abundant life to share. Verse 4 Called from worship to your service, forth in your dear name we go to the child, the youth, the aged, love in living deeds to show; hope and health, good will and comfort, counsel, aid, and peace we give, that your servants, Lord, in freedom may your mercy know, and live. Confession and Pardon: Book of Worship page 352: Rev. John Hill Dear friends, Christ shows us his love by becoming a humble servant. Let us draw near to God and confess our sin in the truth of God’s Spirit. Most merciful God, we your Church confess that often our spirit has not been that of Christ. Where we have failed to love one another as he loves us, where we have pledged loyalty to him with our lips and then betrayed, deserted, or denied him, forgive us, we pray; and by your Spirit make us faithful in every time of trial; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Moment of Silence Kyrie Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ. But Christ suffered and died for us, was raised from the dead and ascended on high for us, and continues to intercede for us. Believe the good news: In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven! In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven! Glory to God. Amen. Scripture Reading: John 13:1-17, 31b-35: Rev. John HillNow before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered, “You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” Jesus said to him, “One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.” For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, “Not all of you are clean.” After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Homily: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin Footwashing: We will have two stations, one for handwashing and one for footwashing. Water will simply be poured over feet or hands – no physical contact. Each participant will receive a towel to dry off that will be theirs to keep. Music During Footwashing: Caleb Dinger, Piano Hymn: Servant SongServant Song Verse 1 Brother, sister, let me serve you, let me be as Christ to you; pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant, too.Verse 2 We are pilgrims on a journey; we’re together on the road. We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.Verse 3 I will hold the Christ-light for you in the night time of your fear; I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.Verse 4 I will weep when you are weeping; when you laugh, I’ll laugh with you. I will share your joy and sorrow till we’ve seen this journey through.Verse 5 When we sing to God in heaven, we shall find such harmony, born of all we’ve known together of Christ’s love and agony.Verse 6 Brother, sister, let me serve you, let me be as Christ to you; pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant, too. Invitation to Holy Communion: Rev. John Hill The Great Thanksgiving: Book of Worship, pages 64-65: Rev. John Hill and Rev. Chelsey HedglinThe Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Almighty God, creator of heaven and earth. From the earth you bring forth bread and create the fruit of the vine. You formed us in your image, delivered us from captivity, and made covenant to be our sovereign God. You fed us manna in the wilderness, and gave grapes as evidence of the promised land. And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven we praise your name and join their unending hymn: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Holy are you, and blessed is your Son Jesus Christ. When we had turned aside from your way and abused your gifts, you gave us in him your crowning gift. Emptying himself, that our joy might be full, he fed the hungry, healed the sick, ate with the scorned and forgotten, washed his disciples’ feet, and gave a holy meal as a pledge of his abiding presence. By the baptism of his suffering, death, and resurrection you gave birth to your Church, delivered us from slavery to sin and death, and made with us a new covenant by water and the Spirit. On the night in which he gave himself up for us, he took bread, gave thanks to you, broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” When the supper was over, he took the cup, gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Drink from this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ, we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving as a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ’s offering for us, as we proclaim the mystery of faith. Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again. Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here, and on these gifts of bread and the cup. Make them be for us the body and blood of Christ, that we may be for the world the body of Christ, redeemed by his blood. By your Spirit make us one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory and we feast at his heavenly banquet. Through your Son Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in your holy church, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty God, now and for ever. Amen.

Worship Order Words of Welcome and Announcements: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin Prelude: All Glory, Laud, and Honor: Caleb Dinger, Piano Palm Sunday Proclamation: Matthew 21:1-11: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin Hear from the Gospel according to Matthew how our Lord Jesus entered Jerusalem. When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs them.’ And he will send them immediately.” This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying, “Tell the daughter of Zion, Look, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?” The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.” Hosanna to the Son of David! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! Hymns: Hosanna, Loud Hosanna and The Wonderful Cross Hosanna, Loud HosannaVerse 1 Hosanna, loud hosanna, the little children sang; through pillared court and temple the lovely anthem rang. To Jesus, who had blessed them close folded to his breast, the children sang their praises, the simplest and the best. Verse 2 From Olivet they followed mid an exultant crowd, the victor palm branch waving, and chanting clear and loud. The Lord of earth and heaven rode on in lowly state, nor scorned that little children should on his bidding wait. Verse 3 “Hosanna in the highest!” that ancient song we sing, for Christ is our Redeemer, the Lord of heaven our King. O may we ever praise him with heart and life and voice, and in his blissful presence eternally rejoice! The Wonderful CrossVerse 1 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 Verse 2 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 Chorus O the wonderful cross O the wonderful cross Bids me come and die and find That I may truly live O the wonderful cross O the wonderful cross All who gather here by grace Draw near and bless Your name Verse 3 Were the whole realm of nature mine That were an offering far too small Love so amazing so divine Demands my soul my life my all Chorus O the wonderful cross O the wonderful cross Bids me come and die and find That I may truly live O the wonderful cross O the wonderful cross All who gather here by grace Draw near and bless Your name Opening Prayer: video from Will Ferrell Good morning Crievewood. It’s Will. Please pray with me. Dear God, thank you for everybody in this sanctuary and online from home. May you have peace and joy throughout this week. In God’s name I pray, Amen. Scripture Reading: Matthew 26:36-46: Rev. Chelsey HedglinThen Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them, “I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and stay awake with me.” And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want.” Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, “So, could you not stay awake with me one hour? Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Again he went away for the second time and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.” Again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words. Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up, let us be going. See, my betrayer is at hand.” Sermon: The Uncertainty of Obedience: Rev.

John Hill O holy and merciful God, we confess that we have not always taken upon ourselves the yoke of obedience, nor been willing to seek and to do your perfect will. We have not loved you with all our heart and mind and soul and strength, neither have we loved our neighbors as ourselves. You have called to us in the need of our siblings, and we have passed unheeding on our way. In the pride of our hearts, and our unwillingness to repent, we have turned away from the cross of Christ, and have grieved your Holy Spirit. Silent Prayer Kyrie Words of Assurance Hear the Good News: Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That proves God’s love toward us. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. Glory to God! Amen. Closing Hymn: What Wondrous Love Is ThisWhat Wondrous Love Is This Verse 1 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul, what wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, to bear the dreadful curse for my soul.Verse 2 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul, what wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, that caused the Lord of life to lay aside his crown for my soul, for my soul, to lay aside his crown for my soul.Verse 3 To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing, to God and to the Lamb I will sing; to God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM, while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing, while millions join the theme, I will sing.Verse 4 And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on, and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on; and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be, and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on, and through eternity I’ll sing on.

Join us for Sunday Worship 9:30 am In Person Indoor Worship and Livestreamed Worship on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/CrievewoodUMC/Pastor’s Pen This Sunday, we will move our in-person and simultaneously livestreamed worship service to 9:30 am. The pandemic has brought about many changes in our common church life together – some temporary and some will be more lasting. One of these changes has been moving from two worship services with distinct styles to a single worship service with a blending of the styles from the two services. The Administrative Council met and decided that a good compromise while we have the single worship service would be to gather at a time that was between the two previous times. All this is subject to change down the road as we respond to the world around us, but this Sunday marks the beginning of our change in worship time to 9:30. This Sunday also holds a special significance in my life. It will be the 15,000th day that I’ve been alive. I suppose that 15,000 is simply an arbitrary number, but it feels much more significant to me than – say, for example – my 12,743rd day. I remember when I had my 10,000th day. So much has changed in my life since then. I was in my very first appointment out of seminary. Neither of my kids had been born. It feels like a lifetime ago. As I think back over the past 5,000 days, I recognize so many ways in which I have grown and changed, so much I have learned and experienced. I’d like to think that I have several more sets of 5,000 days ahead of me – at least 3 or 4. But nothing is guaranteed. I guess that’s part of the point of our Lenten sermon series: “Embracing the Uncertain.” As we move into the latter part of Lent, the pandemic continues, and especially in light of Chelsey’s sermon this past Sunday about mortality, I’m aware that life is fleeting. But perhaps it’s the temporary nature of life that makes it such a valuable gift. I hope to use the next 5,000 days to continue to love God and love others, working to make disciples who transform the world into a better place. What are your plans? Pastor John HillAll are invited to come spend some time at our Lenten prayer stations M-F 8:30am – 4:30pm and Sundays before and after the worship hour. The stations are set up in the main upstairs hallway. Each of the stations include scripture, reflection questions, a creative response, and a prayer all based in our Lenten theme of “embracing the uncertain.” You will likely need 30 minutes to an hour to complete all six stations. Stations of the Cross with words and images are also placed on the wall near the stations. We hope that you will be able to spend some sacred and meaningful time at these prayer stations this Lent!Palm Sunday, March 28 9:30 am – CUMC in person indoor and online worship Maundy Thursday, April 1 6:30 pm – CUMC Holy Thursday worship in person in the sanctuary and online 6:45 pm – St. Mary’s worship outside in the lower parking lot Good Friday, April 2 noon to 3 pm – St. Mary’s in the sanctuary – introspection, readings, and music 6:30 pm – CUMC Tenebrae Service in person in the sanctuary and online Easter Sunday, April 4 6:30 am – CUMC Sunrise Service outside in person only at the Iris Garden.

Crievewood Serves: Tusculum Elementary Seeks Readers for Read Across America Week Read Across Tusculum will be happening Tuesday, March 23 – Thursday, March 25, and Tusculum staff members are seeking volunteers to virtually read to a class. Below is a Sign-up Genius link. Please select a day and time block that you are available to read. This will be a 20-30 minute time investment. You can even select a grade level you prefer. If there is a specific time that you’d like to read within a block of time, please specify that in the comments. Ms. Gunn, Tusculum’s Literacy Coach will match you with a teacher and send links so you can join the classroom virtually at the correct time! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0A45A5AD28A2F85-readOther Missions Easter Memorials This Easter you may honor loved ones two ways through the memorial Easter offering. Plants which decorate worship may be ordered as a memorial. A second way to honor a loved one would be to simply give a money donation. All flower gifts honoring loved ones and all monetary gifts will be acknowledged. The Easter flower envelopes are available in the narthex if you visit the church, or you may simply send in a request through online giving or through a check sent by regular mail. Please make sure to include the following information: your name, the person’s name that you wish to honor or remember, whether the gift is a monetary or plant donation, and if a plant memorial, how many are being requested. If you give a donation online, you may not be able to provide all that information. Please follow up an online donation with a phone call to the office (615-832-2897) or an email to janbassett@crievewoodumc.org to complete all information. For those who wish to send a check, the church’s address is Crievewood UMC, 451 Hogan Road, Nashville, TN 37220. If you want a plant, the minimum donation is $12.50 per plant. Any Easter memorial money collected this year will be applied to youth and young adult summer mission internships. The deadline to place an order either way is Palm Sunday. Crievewood Serves South End continues their Food Program, and their need for volunteers remains as well. Use this link to sign up to help: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0d4daea62daaff2-south. The Trustees have some projects that need to be completed at church and the parsonage. There is not a tremendous amount of work to do, but if you are so inclined, any assistance would be appreciated. We will be digging up a few dead shrubs, trimming some shrubbery near the narthex and along the walkway beside Fellowship Hall, and mulching beds both at church and the parsonage. Plan on a 9am start so the work can be completed by a reasonable hour. If you have any flower beds at home you intend to thin or have anything you wish to transplant, please talk to Kathryn Buffler. If there are any other projects the church work crew would like to tackle, please feel free to go to it. Something the Trustees have intended to do for years is pressure wash the wooden walkway from Manley down to the parking lot. If anyone has a pressure washer, this would be a great project. Be sure to bring whatever hand tools and work gloves you might think you’ll need.

Words of Welcome: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin
Centering Music: Mazurka F. Chopin, Op. 17, No.4: Caleb Dinger, Piano
Call to Worship: written by Cherie White: led by John Hill
God of grace, we gather in your name at this time of uncertainties.
See us, hear us, sustain us, heed our pleas, do not forsake us.
God walks with us and talks with us. Be fully present!
Thanks be to God whom we seek and trust.
Hymns: Make Me a Captive, Lord and Great Are You Lord
Make Me a Captive, Lord
Verse 1
Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free.
Force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life’s alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
Verse 2
My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure,
it varies with the wind.
It cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
Verse 3
My power is faint and low
till I have learned to serve;
it lacks the needed fire to glow,
it lacks the breeze to nerve.
It cannot drive the world
until itself be driven;
its flag can only be unfurled
when thou shalt breathe from heaven.
Verse 4
My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch’s throne,
it must its crown resign.
It only stands unbent
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom it has leant,
and found in thee its life.
Great Are You Lord
Verse
You give life You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope You restore every heart that is broken
And great are You Lord
Chorus
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
Verse
You give life You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope You restore every heart that is broken
And great are You Lord
Repeat Chorus
Bridge (2x)
And all the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry these bones will sing
Great are You Lord
Repeat Chorus
Opening Prayer: Uncertainty Haikus by Cherie White: read by Chelsey Hedglin
Oh, uncertainty!
Its who, what, when, where and how
Leaves surrender on a bough.
Oh, uncertainty!
Painful, anguish, questioning…
Mortality … Foe!
Oh, uncertainty!
Worry, worry, surrender,
No! Obedience. Yes, Lord!
Ah! Uncertainty!
Common woe; accept no more!
Faith alone atones!
Scripture Reading: Luke 19:1-10: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin
He entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.” So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. All who saw it began to grumble and said, “He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.” Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.” Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.”

The Zacchaeus Song
Jesus our Lord came to seek and to save
He sought me out and He called my name
Foolish and proud like a sheep gone astray
He said Child to your house I will come today
Much I have gained but I’ll give even more
Half of my wealth it was robbed from the poor
O this injustice Lord Help me restore
For You called me by name and said sin no more
Salvation has come
Salvation has come to this house today
He said it’s more blessed to give than receive
To open my hands to the ones I’ve deceived
To bring reparation of all I have thieved
Hallelujah Hallelujah yes now I can see
What I’ve taken from the poor
I will give it all away
And their cries won’t be ignored
I will give it all away
Let your justice be restored
I will give it all away
What I thought was mine is yours
I will give it all away
Jesus our Lord comes to seek and to save
The broken the lost and the sheep gone astray
O lay down your treasures for they’re just
Golden chains
He says Child I will come to your house today
Zacchaeus was a wee little man
And a wee little man was he
He climbed up in a sycamore tree
For the Lord he wanted to see
And when the Savior passed that way
He looked up in the tree
And said, ‘Zacchaeus, you come down!
For I’m going to your house today!
For I’m going to your house today!’

Prayer of Confession: from the Book of Worship, page 336:
led by Rev. John Hill
O merciful God, in compassion for your sinful children you sent your Son Jesus Christ to be the Savior of the world. Grant us grace to feel and to lament our share of the evil that made it necessary for him to suffer and to die for our salvation. Help us by self-denial, prayer, and meditation to prepare our hearts for deeper penitence and a better life. And give us a true longing to be free from sin, through the deliverance won by Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
Kyrie
Words of Assurance
Hear the Good News: Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That
proves God’s love toward us. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.
In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.
Glory to God! Amen.
Closing Hymn: Take My Life, and Let It Be
Take My Life, and Let It Be
Verse 1
Take my life, and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move
at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee.
Verse 2
Take my voice, and let me sing
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee.
Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use
every power as thou shalt choose.
Verse 3
Take my will, and make it thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is thine own;
It shall be thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.
Benediction: Rev. John Hill

Opening Prayer: The Loss Walk by Andrea Dewey: read by Chelsey HedglinI went hiking. Descending into the gully. And as I walked, I spoke her name. Chloe, little sprout. She’d be at home among these trees and bushes and leaves. For even though it was mid-winter, green shone through all around. Chloe, little sprout. And, as the waterfalls spoke loudly around me. It must have been God’s whisper that took her heartbeat. Mother Earth’s womb was warmer than mine. Chloe, little sprout. In the hope of life, there’s the promise of death. She will be my reminder of that. And so I left her there, beneath the moss, to return to the earth before she even graced it. Chloe, little sprout. Scripture Reading: John 11:1-6, 17, 32-44: Rev. John HillNow a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent a message to Jesus, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Accordingly, though Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, after having heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus began to weep. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” Sermon: The Uncertainty of Mortality: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin Instrumental Reflection: In Christ Alone: Caleb Dinger, Piano Pastoral Prayer: Rev.

Chelsey Hedglin Holy God, before you our hearts are open, and from you no secrets are hidden. We bring to you now our shame and sorrow for our sins. We have forgotten that our life is from you and unto you. We have neither sought nor done your will. We have not been truthful in our hearts, in our speech, in our lives. We have not loved as we ought to love. Help us and heal us, raising us from our sins into a better life, that we may end our days in peace, trusting in your kindness unto the end. Amen. Kyrie Words of Assurance Hear the Good News: Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That proves God’s love toward us. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.

Closing Hymn: Hymn of Promise Hymn of Promise In the bulb, there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree; in cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. There’s a song in every silence, seeking word and melody; there’s a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you and me. From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity; in our doubt, there is believing; in our life, eternity. In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. Benediction: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin Today we will celebrate UMCOR Sunday, one of six special offerings in The United Methodist Church that supports ministries shared by all churches in the denomination.

And UMCOR doesn’t just respond to the emergency for the short term. Working with local organizations, churches in the community and United Methodist volunteers, UMCOR builds relationships and helps communities rebuild in the years following a disaster. UMCOR can do this because the funds given through UMCOR Sunday. Join with those millions of United Methodists to help cover the costs of doing business.
