St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church & School, Richmond, Michigan

PRAYER OF THE DAY: Almighty and everlasting God the Father, who sent your Son to take our nature upon him

and to suffer death on the cross that all mankind should follow the example of his great humility, mercifully grant that

we may both follow the example of our Savior Jesus Christ in his patience and also have our portion in his resurrection;

through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, on God, now and forever. Amen.

Zechariah 9:9–12

9

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud,

O daughter of Jerusalem! behold, your king is

coming to you; righteous and having salvation is

he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt,

the foal of a donkey.

10

I will cut off the chariot

from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem;

and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall

speak peace to the nations; his rule shall be from

sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the

earth.

11

As for you also, because of the blood of my

covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free

from the waterless pit.

12

Return to your

stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare

that I will restore to you double.

This is the Word of the Lord . Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the twelfth

chapter and St. Mark, the fourteen chapter.

(sung) Glory be to Thee, O Lord.

John 12:12–19 , Mark 14:1-25

12

The next day the large crowd that had come to the

feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

13

So

they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet

him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes

in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”

14

And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just

as it is written,

15

“Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold,

your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!”

16

His disciples did not understand these things at first,

but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered

that these things had been written about him and had

been done to him.

17

The crowd that had been with

him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and

raised him from the dead continued to bear

witness.

18

The reason why the crowd went to meet

him was that they heard he had done this sign.

19

So

the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you

are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after

him.”

1

It was now two days before the Passover and

the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests

and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by

stealth and kill him,

2

for they said, “Not during the

feast, lest there be an uproar from the people.”

3

And

while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the

leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came with

an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very

costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his

head.

4

There were some who said to themselves

indignantly, “Why was the ointment wasted like that?

5

For this ointment could have been sold for more than

three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they

scolded her.

6

But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why

do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to

me.

7

For you always have the poor with you, and

whenever you want, you can do good for them. But

you will not always have me.

8

She has done what she

could; she has anointed my body beforehand for

burial.

9

And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is

proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will

be told in memory of her.”

10

Then Judas Iscariot, who

was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in or-

der to betray him to them.

11

And when they heard it,

they were glad and promised to give him money. And

he sought an opportunity to betray him.

12

And on the

first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed

the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where

will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the

Passover?”

13

And he sent two of his disciples and said

to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of

water will meet you. Follow him,

14

and wherever he

enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher

says, Where is my guest room, where I may eat the

Passover with my disciples?’

15

And he will show you

a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare

for us.”

16

And the disciples set out and went to the city

and found it just as he had told them, and they pre-

pared the Passover.

17

And when it was evening, he

came with the twelve.

18

And as they were reclining at

table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one

of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.”

19

They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one

after another, “Is it I?”

20

He said to them, “It is one of

the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with

me.

21

For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him,

but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is

betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he

had not been born.”

22

And as they were eating, he took

bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to

them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”

23

And he took


a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to

them, and they all drank of it.

24

And he said to them,

“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured

out for many.

25

Truly, I say to you, I will not drink

again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I

drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

(sung) Praise be to Thee, O Christ.

on April 14th beginning at 9 am (we will meet in

the church parking lot (31 Mile Road side) just

prior at 8:50 am). Volunteers will be provided

with safety vests, garbage bags and collection

tools. The collection takes a couple of hours.

Minimum age limit is 12 years of age and we

your attendance for the pick-up on April 14th.

Hope to see a great turnout!!

and Don Gillette—have expressed a desire and a need

to serve those in our congregation who may be

hurting in some way. They have attended training

sessions and are ready to serve together with a

Stephen Minister as part of a Visiting Team. Stephen

Ministers, along with our newly-trained visiting

partners, will be dedicated in all services this

receive caring support from this confidential ministry,

please contact Pastor Haller or the church office.
