Order of Service
Gathering
Welcome – Karen
Opening prayer
Call to worship
All: We gather to worship God
and to look back on where we’ve been;
One: we see old hopes, plans, and dreams,
remembered “Hosannas!”
and all these weeks of Lent.
All: We gather to worship God
and to look at where we are now,
One: at Jesus re-defining triumph;
and the king on the cross instead of a throne.
All: We gather to worship God
and to wonder at this mystery,
One: of salvation that comes so strangely;
of life that comes through death;
of brokenness meeting grace.

Prayer Concerns
MCEC
Please pray for the MCEC community of congregations; this week we hold Danforth Mennonite Church in prayer. Pieter Niemeyer provides pastoral leadership for this congregation. Pray for this peace church on the Danforth.
Holy God, hold our hurting world in your compassion and bring healing where there is conflict, fear and grief. Strengthen all who work for peace and justice, and guide us to be instruments of your hope. Surround every community with your wisdom and light, that we may walk together toward reconciliation and renewal.
Mennonite World Conference
Pray for world leaders to demand violent attacks in the Middle East to cease. The US-Israeli strikes on Iran which started on 28 February 2026 and Iran’s retaliatory actions have killed hundreds of people not just in Iran, but also in neighbouring countries. May people around the world be in solidarity with those who are displaced, mourning, marginalized and victimized.
