Easter Egg Hunt

/

Easter Egg Hunt!!!

When: Easter Sunday (April 17) directly following the service (11:00ish)

Where: Outside at church!

Who: Everyone is welcome

What: This year, we stuffed the Easter Eggs with the word "alleluia" that we "buried" at the beginning of Lent. The kids will find the eggs, shout "Alleluia" and then bring them to an adult who will be holding Easter candy/goodies (we have the goodies for you to hold. We will pass those out at the start of the hunt). We thought this would be a great way for the kids to interact with the grown ups in the congregation as well.

This means we need everyone's help. Please let the education team know if you have any questions.
