Text for this Week
Luke 18:18-30
A certain ruler 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 commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother.’” He replied, “I have kept all these since my youth.”
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “There is still one thing lacking. Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” But when he heard this, he became sad; for he was very rich.
Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, 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.”
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” He replied, “What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.”
Then Peter said, “Look, we have left our homes and followed you.”
And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not get back very much more in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.”

Mary McMillan has asked that our church members be reminded of the Brainerd Kiwanis Barbeque being held this weekend at the Baptist Children's Home on Lee Highway. Brainerd Kiwanis donated $1,000.00 this past year out of last year's barbeque money to the Newton Center.
Brainerd Kiwanis had approximately $20,000.00 worth of their barbeque equipment vandalized recently, and they are having to make that up out of this year's sales. This vandalism also required them to move from their longtime location in Brainerd, and Baptist Children's Home stepped in to fill that need. There will be a drive- through tent behind the buildings, with a setup similar to what they had in previous years.
Barbeque tickets are $7.00 for either a meal plate or a package of meat. Meal plates will have meat, a bun, cole slaw, and beans. There will be picnic tables set up for those who wish to eat on site. Tent will be open from 10:00 am to 7 pm, both Friday and Saturday.
Tickets may be purchased from Janet Phillips or at the gate. Brainerd Kiwanis focuses their benevolences on helping children. Anyone wishing to make a tax-deductible donation in addition to or in lieu of barbeque tickets, may send a check made out to Brainerd Kiwanis Youth Foundation.
