Call to Worship: Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29
Hymn "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna"
Verse 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 Heav’n, our Kung;
O may we ever praise Him
With heart and life and voice,
And in His blissful presence
Eternally rejoice!

Worship Song, "Healing Rain"
Verse 1
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor the weak and strong
It's bringing mercy it won't be long
Chorus 1
Healing rain it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain I'm not afraid
To be washed in heaven's rain
Verse 2
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name
Verse 3
Lift your heads let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain
Chorus 2
And only You the Son of man
Could take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands they can be held
By someone greater the Great I Am
Ending
Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid I'm not afraid

ABHMS awards grant to organization that helps asylum seekers
“Jonathan Rayo of Nicaragua was an asylum seeker whose story has a happy ending, thanks to “We Care”—an organization that aids immigrants to the United States—and the grants that the organization received from ABHMS.”
“Along with thousands of students, Rayo participated in political rallies to protest the corruption of the Nicaraguan communist government. Paramilitary forces chased him, and he hid. A few days later, he was headed home when he saw soldiers at his house. His mother called his mobile phone to tell him to leave the country. In December 2019, he arrived at the Tijuana-San Diego border. Because of changes in asylum policies, he was returned to Tijuana to apply from there and await his case. At the beginning of 2020, he contacted We Care, which took his case.”
