Palm Sunday
Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him
were shouting, “Praise God! Blessings on the one who comes in the name
of the LORD! Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our ancestor David!
Praise God in highest heaven!” Mark 11:9-10 (NLT)

A Message From Pastor Milton
Today, we are excited the have the years 3 & 4 students from
Bethany Lutheran Primary School taking part in services at
Bethany, Grace and St. Johns. The theme of their
presentation is “Celebrations.” The children will remind us how
we celebrate Lent, Palm Sunday, Holy Week, Good Friday
and Easter Sunday. We thank the teachers and the students
for reminding us of these important celebrations.
Today, we are celebrating Palm Sunday. There will be lots of
palm branches in our churches, which remind us how Jesus rode into Jerusalem
to the shouts of the crowd, the waving of the branches and the royal highway of
clothes. Jesus was riding on an unridden colt. He is coming to Jerusalem as the
king.
May we all celebrate Jesus as our king, Lord and Saviour as we begin this most
holy of weeks.
Pr Milton

Want to know more about Jesus? Head to ‘Next Steps’ on our website:
nextsteps.ilp.org.au Or alternatively, speak to one of our pastors. We would love
to hear from you and help you if you want to continue in your faith walk, learning
more about our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Guests – we trust that you have drawn closer to God in worship today. Our
church is blessed by your presence today. Please stay and enjoy a ‘cuppa’ with
us after worship and make yourself known to us. We’d love to answer any queries
you may have.
Help Us To Care - if you know of someone who has fallen ill or who is suffering in
any way, please let the Pastoral Care Coordinator or one of the Pastors know by
contacting the parish office so that appropriate care and follow up can occur.
Thinking Of Joining This Church? – We would love for you to make that
commitment with us, as you make a conscious decision to be part of something
bigger than simply yourself. If you have been worshipping here regularly and are
not yet a member, the pastors would be happy to talk to you about ‘making our
Church home - your Church home.
