Call To Worship
Liturgist: Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth break forth into joyous song and sing praises.
Congregation: Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre and the sound of melody.
L: With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.
C: Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who live in it.
L: Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy at the presence of the Lord, for He is coming to judge the earth.
C: He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
Opening Hymn
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing (400)
Opening Prayer
Congregation: We need Your presence on the long road, Lord.
The road between fear and hope, the road between the place where all is lost and the place of resurrection.
Like the disciples walking the road to Emmaus, we are in need of Your company.
Jesus, stand among us, in Your risen power, let this time of worship, be a hallowed hour.
Responsive Reading
L: Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds. Many are saying, “There is no help for You in God.”
But You, O LORD, are a shield around us, our glory. You are the One who lifts up our heads.
C: I cry aloud to the Lord, and He answers me from His holy hill. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.
L: I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. Rise up, O Lord! Deliver me, O my God!
C: Deliverance belongs to the Lord. May Your blessing be on Your people!

*Scripture
Luke 11:1-13 (NIV)
1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’
7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’
8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship,
yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
