Welcome to Oak Hills
Church!
Welcome to worship, a time to honor and
praise our God. By His Spirit, God will
inspire us with greater faith and encourage
us to eagerly live for Him. Please join us
for refreshments after the service and
meet someone new.
Worship guests, please sign a guest card
found in the racks in the pew in front of
you, and place it in the offering plate.
TODAY: MARCH 29 PALM SUNDAY
The Price of OBEDIENCE
Matthew 21: 1-9; Psalm 132
King David willingly paid a price to restore
worship in Jerusalem for God’s people. The
cost of obedience for Jesus to go to
Jerusalem and die for his people was
ultimate! Jesus restores us for worship in
his Spirit with his own righteousness and
guides in the way of obedient love.

Psalms - Journey With Jesus Series
Lent 2015
Contemporary traveling music practices include
listening to your favorite playlist that reflects your
tastes. Singing as we travel goes way back to ancient
days. Travelers sang playlists not of their personal
tastes, but ones chosen by community worship leaders
expressing life’s realities. Singing produced favorites.
More importantly, it shaped the heart and soul of
whole communities oriented to answering God who
spoke and acted in their world and ours. What might
we learn from Jesus who also sang these songs as he
travels the road to suffering and death in Jerusalem?
How might we be shaped by them and by him? Come
along on the journey and sing with us!

CANDLELIGHTING TODAY: If you are cultivating a relationship with someone for the purpose of
sharing the Lord with them, praying that God will gather them into His kingdom and preparing to
welcome them into the body of believers; please place an unlit candle on the table during the service
today in anticipation of what God will do. When a person you know comes to the Lord, celebrate with
us by lighting a small candle from the flame of the Christ candle.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
ADULT EDUCATION: So how do you know you are right with God? Ever thought how baptism could
be part of your proof? Or are you just content to have your fire insurance paid up? Or have "more
important things" to spend your time on? If it’s important to you, join us today at 11am to find out
how this can bring comfort and consolation.
LIBRARY: Lent is a season for devoting ourselves to spiritual growth and recovery. The library has lots
of resources to help you in any direction you want to grow. Check out the new display in the window,
as Easter will be coming soon. PLUS: Did you miss January Series lectures you really wanted to see?
Or, maybe want to see again or watch with friends? We now have most of the lectures on DVDs. Find
them on the back shelf in the Church Library ready to be checked out.
JOIN US FOR EASTER BRUNCH following the Easter morning service, April 5. Table service and
beverages will be provided. Please sign up on the list by the coffee window to bring bread, egg or
other brunch dishes to share. Invite friends and neighbors to join us for this wonderful celebration of
God’s goodness.

extras in your yard for guests please bring some in a container that we can have at the back of church
