Children like
different things to eat, and they play with different toys. Each of us looks
just a little different from everyone else. But we all
need some things to grow up strong and healthy. Some children don’t have all
the things they need and it’s not right! Today we are going to
find out what we can do to help. Today is a special day called Children’s Sabbath. Our church
is learning more about what we can do
to be sure all children have the things they need to live and grow. Amen.

*PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
There are many
children in the world:
Some have black hair, some have brown
Some is short and some hangs down.
Some is braided, some in corn-rows,
Or curls that tickle some kid’s nose.
But nobody else is just like me!
There are many children all around:
Blue-eyed, black-eyed, hazel, green,
Seeing all that can be seen!
Some have freckles, some brown skin,
Some like to giggle, some to grin.
But nobody else is just like me!
There are many children in my town:
Some like to jump, or skip or run,
Others think that hopping’s fun!
Some like to take a long, long nap,
While others sit on mama’s lap.
But nobody else is just like me!

Mark
10:17-31
As he was setting out on a journey, a
man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, ‘Good Teacher, what must I do
to inherit eternal life?’ Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good but
God alone. You know the commandments: “You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You
shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and
mother.” ’ He said to him, ‘Teacher, I have kept all
these since my youth.’ Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, ‘You lack one thing;
go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will
have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ When he heard this, he was shocked and went
away grieving, for he had many possessions.
Then Jesus looked around and said to
his disciples, ‘How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the
kingdom of God!’ And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said
to them again, ‘Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of
God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than
for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ They were greatly astounded and said to one
another, ‘Then who can be saved?’ Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For mortals
it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.’
Peter began to say to him, ‘Look, we
have left everything and followed you.’ Jesus said, ‘Truly I tell you, there is no
one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children
or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news,
who
will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters,
mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the age to come
eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be
first.’
