PALM SUNDAY IN THE PALM BEACHES
Worship Assistant: Barbara Woodworth
Welcome
Lighting the Chalice Flame: Come, Come, Whoever You Are
Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.
Affirmation: Love is the spirit of this Congregation and service is its law. This is our great covenant to dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in love and to help one another.
Introduction of Visitors
Hymn: #98 Loveliest of Trees

Religious Education Class: Go now in peace, go now in peace; may the spirit of love surround you everywhere, everywhere you may go.
Offertory: Nature Boy (E. Ahbez)
Sermon: Palm Sunday in the Palm Beaches, Rev Dr Dan Lambert

Extinguishing the Chalice Flame: We extinguish this flame, but not the light of truth, the warmth of community, or the fire of commitment. These we carry in our hearts until we are together again.

Office Hours
Our office is open Monday – Friday, 9:30–12:30, except for holidays.
Rev. Dan is available for pastoral care or just to chat almost any time during the week. He & Tess have covenanted with each other to make Friday a sacred day off for both of them, so he will not be available most Fridays unless there is an emergency.
Pastoral Care
As a reminder, Rev Dan is always available for Pastoral Care. That simply means providing a listening ear, an encouraging word, or a calming presence when life’s many challenges come your way.
He is available not only during regular office hours and by appointment, but also 24/7 for emergencies. What might be some reasons to contact him for Pastoral Care? Reasons include the following:
Encouragement through health problems
Hospitalization
Family tragedy
Emotional or spiritual counseling (I am NOT a licensed mental health therapist, though)
Personal struggles
Relationship conflicts
Life questions or challenges
Weddings
Funerals
You can easily reach Rev. Dan via text or phone. That phone number is 561-628-6954.
Pastoral Care is one of the most integral functions of a minister, and it is always confidential.

Help Spread The Word!
As we continue to use social media as a way to get the word out about who we are and what we’re all about at 1stUUPB, you can help us a lot in just a few clicks (if you have a Facebook account, that is).
*Find our Facebook page by searching for us by name, and make sure you have “Liked” the page.
*Whenever you see a post from us in your newsfeed, don’t just scroll past it. Please click on it and select a “Like” option. If you hover over the Like button with your cursor and wait a moment without clicking, a few other options show up. You can choose a thumbs up, a heart, a laugh, a “what in the world?!?” face, a sad face or a mad face. Make a comment on the post.
*Share the post either on your own page or share it with someone you think might be interested in it.
*Give us a 5 star rating and tell what you enjoy about our congregation.
*If you have the Facebook app on your smart phone, anytime you are at 1stUUPB for a Sunday service or NewsTalk or Teaching Thursday or yoga or a movie or a meeting or whatever, please check in to let people know you are here.
Why are we asking you to do all this? Because it is an easy way to spread the word about who we are and the important work we do here. Plus, all this is FREE marketing! Who doesn’t like free?!?
