We will be true to Thee till death. Call to WorshiP From before our birth, to life after death, our Heavenly Father is with us. Our being is found in God: God the Father gives us life; God the Son redeems and restores us; and God the Holy Spirit empowers us for ministry. God is love and when we unite our lives with Christ we bond our love with His. Rev. Keith King affirmation of faith As a family of faith, let us affirm our faith together. We are not alone, we live in God's world. We believe in God: who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit. We trust in God. We are called to be the church: to celebrate God's presence, to love and serve others,

3 to seek justice and resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope. In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks be to God. Amen. gloria Patri MEINEKE Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

Keith King Choral Call to Prayer I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back. Pastoral Prayer the lord s Prayer Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Choral response anthem This Is My Father's World Chancel Choir Laura Cunningham, violin David Kelly, piano Eric Bradford, conductor arr. Mark Hayes This is my Father's world, and to my listening ears all nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres. This is my Father's world, I rest me in the thought of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; God's hand the wonders wrought. This is my Father's world, the birds their carols raise. The morning light, the lily white declare their Maker's praise. This is my Father's world, God shine in all that's fair; in the rustling grass I hear God pass and speak to me ev'rywhere. This is my Father's world! O let me ne'er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father's world, the battle is not done; Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and each and heaven be one. This is my Father's world. This is my Father's world. life at st. luke s dedication of tithes and offerings Rev. Wendy Lambert offertory I'll Fly Away Laura Cunningham, violin Rees Evans, banjo Albert. E. Brumley

4 doxology OLD 100th Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below; praise Him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Mallory Pursell the gospel When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon son of John, do you love me more than these? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Feed my lambs. A second time he said to him, Simon son of John, do you love me? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Tend my sheep. He said to him the third time, Simon son of John, do you love me? Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, Do you love me? And he said to him, Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep. (John 21:15-17 NRSV) This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Unfinished Business From the Sermon Series: Questions: What Does Christ Ask of Us? sermon musical reflection Chris Eaton/Margaret Beck No Greater Love Eric Bradford, soloist Laura Cunningham, violin David Kelly, piano Before I knew Your name, You knew my every breath. Before I found my way, You knew my every step. Before I knew everything that I need, You gave it all to me. No greater love than this, that You should lay down Your life for someone such as me, I'd spend a lifetime wondering why. The beauty of heaven is here in my heart, and I know there can be no greater love than this. I never understood how merciful love could be until I felt His flame light every part of me. And I would give everything that I am, 'cause I have been saved, I have been saved! No greater love than this, that You should lay down Your life for someone such as me, I'd spend a lifetime wondering why. The beauty of heaven is here in my heart, and I know there can be no greater love than this. Oh, love. The beauty of heaven is here in my heart, and I know there can be no greater love, for someone such as me, no greater love than this. invitation to Christian discipleship If you desire to become a member of St. Luke s United Methodist Church, please refer to the announcement insert for additional information. hymn 413 A Charge to Keep I Have BOYLSTON A charge to keep I have, a God to glorify, a never-dying soul to save, and fit it for the sky. To serve the present age, my calling to fulfill; O may it all my powers engage to do my Master's will! Arm me with jealous care, as in Thy sight to live, and oh, Thy servant, Lord, prepare a strict account to give! Help me to watch and pray, and on Thyself rely, assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forever die, that we, Lord, are truly Thine.

He asked the disciples challenging questions about their faith. He answered the questions of leaders with questions of his own. And He asked questions to those who were hurting to discover their deepest needs. When we read these questions it is good for us to consider, what does Christ ask of us?
