Our "Animal of the Month" was a camel.
| Carolyn shares the story of the "Rich Young Ruler." |
| Caroline and her friend listen to the story. |
One day a rich young man came to Jesus and asked him what he needed to do to go to heaven. Jesus answered him, "You know the commandments, 'do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'"
"Oh, I have done all of that since I was a child" the young man told Jesus.
"You must do one more thing," Jesus said, "You must sell all that you have and give the money to the poor."
"Oh, I have done all of that since I was a child" the young man told Jesus.
"You must do one more thing," Jesus said, "You must sell all that you have and give the money to the poor."
The Bible tells us that the young man turned and walked away. He was very sad. You see, he was very wealthy, and he was not willing to give up his wealth.
Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said, "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven." That would be impossible!
Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said, "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven." That would be impossible!
Does that mean that Jesus was saying it is impossible for a rich man to enter into heaven?
"With man, this is impossible, but not with God. With God, all things are possible." That is the God we serve. The God of the impossible!

Wonderful help in the kitchen!
Working off some energy in the gym!
First, there were camel races.
Sara always has great ideas!
Then it was time for "free play"
It takes talent to shoot a basket while working a hula hoop!
And we end the evening with campfire singing.
"Alice the camel had 5 humps, so go, Alice, go. Boom boom boom."
We sounded wonderful when the group broke into two parts,
singing "Love, Love, Love, Love"
Love your neighbor as your brother/sister!
