This coming Sunday is special in the
Lutheran Church. It is known as Christ
the King Sunday, and we are celebrating Christ’s Kingdom here in the
world. I hope all of you feel like
Christ has control of your lives, but I know that’s not always the case. We are entering into a wonderful time of the
year where we are supposed to see Christ’s Kingdom in all we do. However, there have been moments I’ve looked
at the world, and I’ve felt like everything was out of control. Terrorist attacks, bombings, and hatred seem
to dominate the headlines. How are we
supposed to go forward, believing Christ is King?

| Christmas wouldn't be complete anymore without a laser! |
Recently, Kira and I have been feeling
a little overwhelmed listening to the news, preparing for this busy season, and
just managing our own lives. However,
early last week our neighbors came over to our house with a gift. They knew we were pretty busy, and they
wanted to help us out, so they put up Christmas lights on our house! Actually, they didn’t have to string up any
lights… they did something better. They
bought us a CHRISTMAS LASER that shoots colorful beams all over our house. It’s pretty amazing! However, more than anything, it was so
wonderful to know that someone cares about us.
It reminded us that Christ’s Kingdom of Love is still present on this
earth.
This year we hope everyone at Community
can get involved in the Month of Christmas.
We are inviting people to share God’s love in whatever way they see
best. Maybe you can help someone out
with their holiday decorations. Maybe
you can serve food to the hungry. Or
perhaps you can just take time to get to know your neighbors better. I know Kira and I can’t wait to get out and
share the love we’ve been given. In
spite of all that is going on in the world, let’s share the news that God is
here, and Christ is King!
Blessings!
PB
