King of Kings Lutheran Church broke ground for their new church building on Sunday, April 18, at 2:30, at their new property in Robin. About 175 King of Kings members and friends loaded 3 busses in the King of Kings parking lot, for the five mile ride to the new building site on North Center Point RD in Robins, IA.
The Groundbreaking ceremony included words shared by King of Kings current Pastor, Rev. Mark Halvorson and Rev. Leon Hauser, the retired King of Kings Pastor, along with prayers and congregational singing, including the Doxology immediately following the actual groundbreaking. Ten King of Kings members participated in the turning of the soil, with Rev. Mark Halvorson using the original gold shovel that was used to turn the soil at the groundbreaking for the current church building on C. Ave. NE, Cedar Rapids, over 25 years ago. Following the ceremony, 200 balloons were released in celebration, and a plane flew over the new property taking an aerial photograph of the King of Kings members outlining the foundation of the new church building. The celebration continued with cake for all and ended with everyone loading the busses for the return trip to King of Kings Lutheran Church on C. Ave
