Children’s Time: “Flaco, The Call of the Wild” by Pastor John
Message: “What Flaco Taught Us About Ourselves” by Rev. John Song
Flaco, a wild Eurasian eagle-owl, is an Exodus story and Easter story wrapped into one. Born in captivity, Flaco lived a dozen years in a comfortable cage in the Central Park Zoo. But Flaco’s life at the zoo was unremarkable. Only after he was freed from the Central Park Zoo by a vandal in February 2023, he began to inspire true awe. For little over a year before his untimely death, Flaco was able to live the life he was created to live, in freedom and to his true nature. Why were we so captivated by Flaco and what we have learned about ourselves?
