unday September 11th was a blessed day for us at Christ the King as we gathered to say thank you to God for 80 years of grace and blessing. In my sermon that day, the Lord reminded us that the central purpose of Christ the King Church and Preschool was, is and ever shall be the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Good News of God rescuing and redeeming us lost sinners through the death and resurrection of Jesus. This continues to be the hope-filled message we proclaim to the world around us, a world steeped in a culture of death and despair.
When I think of the weather getting warm, I think back to playing happily with my cousins on the playground of Eugene Field School, an elementary school in my aunt and uncle’s neighborhood in Sioux Falls, S.D. The school was named after Eugene Field, an American writer who lived from 1850-1895 and was known for his children’s poetry and his humorous essays. One of his children’s poems is entitled “Krinken.” Field writes: “Krinken was a little child; It was summer when he smiled.”
