*CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 85: 6 - 13
Will
you not revive us again,
so that your people may rejoice in you?
Show
us your steadfast love,
O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
Let
me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to
his faithful,
to those who turn to him in their hearts.
Surely
his salvation is at hand for those who fear him,
that his glory may dwell in our land.
Steadfast
love and faithfulness will meet;
righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
Faithfulness
will spring up from the ground,
and righteousness will look down from the sky.
The
LORD will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness
will go before him,
and will make a path for his steps.

LETTERS: Colossians 2: 6-19 pg. 1027 Read by Libby Field
RESPONSIVE CALL TO PRAYER:
When we were baptized, we
chose Christ’s way for our lives, and we follow his way with thanksgiving.
We would never allow a lesser philosophy to
lead us away--or would we?
How about the consumerism
of our society, whose answer to every problem is “buy something”?
Bad day at work?--Buy yourself a drink or a
pair of shoes.
Kids alone while you work?--Buy
them a computer or an “i phone”.
Terrorist
attack on a major city?—just go out and buy something—anything at all.
Maybe the way of the Spirit
takes more discipline than we realized.
Lord, Teach us to pray.
*HYMN

Soul” (see insert)
GOSPEL: Luke 11: 1-13 pg. 903
SERMON: “Why Pray?” Ruth Kulkarni
*INVITATION
HYMN 2128: “Come and Find the
Decisions of
faith are personal decisions. It is for
us to choose if we will believe in God.
Decisions of faith are also public and corporate decisions. When we choose to follow Jesus we are
choosing to become part of the “Body of Christ”, the Church. If you would like to confirm the decision you
have made to begin your life of faith or continue that life as a part of this
congregation, come forward as we sing the invitational hymn and speak with the
worship leader about your decision.
