Opening Prayer | written by John van de Laar<\/strong>
Money talks and power makes the world go around, or so the world would have us believe; and we, forgetting that other voice,
join the march in hopes that we may find a place among the rich and strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you O God, feel no shame and fear no harm as you walk among the poorest and weakest; feeling completely at home.
Thank you for the voice of your love that keeps singing of the power in weakness, the wealth in simplicity, and the freedom
and safety that is found in walking your humble, serving way. AMEN

Scripture Focus | Mark 10:17-31 | Jerry Bowen<\/strong>
17\u00a0As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees\u00a0before him.
\u201cGood teacher,\u201d he asked, \u201cwhat must I do to inherit eternal life?\u201d
18\u00a0\u201cWhy do you call me good?\u201d\u00a0Jesus answered.\u00a0\u201cNo one is good\u2014except God alone.\u00a019\u00a0You know the commandments:
\u2018You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not
defraud, honor your father and mother.\u201d
20\u00a0\u201cTeacher,\u201d he declared, \u201call these I have kept since I was a boy.\u201d
21\u00a0Jesus looked at him and loved him.\u00a0\u201cOne thing you lack,\u201d\u00a0he said.\u00a0\u201cGo, sell everything you have and give to the poor,\u00a0
and you will have treasure in heaven.\u00a0Then come, follow me.\u201d
22\u00a0At this the man\u2019s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23\u00a0Jesus looked around and said to his disciples,\u00a0\u201cHow hard it is for the rich\u00a0to enter the kingdom of God!\u201d
24\u00a0The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again,\u00a0\u201cChildren, how hard it is\u00a0to enter the kingdom of God!\u00a0
25\u00a0It 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.\u201d
26\u00a0The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, \u201cWho then can be saved?\u201d
27\u00a0Jesus looked at them and said,\u00a0\u201cWith man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.\u201d
28\u00a0Then Peter spoke up, \u201cWe have left everything to follow you!\u201d
29\u00a0\u201cTruly I tell you,\u201d\u00a0Jesus replied,\u00a0\u201cno one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields
for me and the gospel\u00a030\u00a0will fail to receive a hundred times as much\u00a0in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers,
children and fields\u2014along with persecutions\u2014and in the age to come\u00a0eternal life.\u00a0
31\u00a0But many who are first will be last, and the last first.\u201d
