EASTER EGG HUNT – As has become our tradition, we will be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt for ages 0 to 3rd grade on Easter Sunday, April 5 @ 10:30am (following the traditional service). In the past, we have requested donations of plastic eggs and candy and have gratefully accepted these. This year, we are requesting monetary donations only and staff and volunteers will make the necessary purchases to ensure consistency. Donations will be used to purchase any needed eggs, small and safe toys, and individually wrapped and allergy friendly treats. Please mark “Easter Egg Hunt” on the memo line of your check or on the envelope (for cash donations). Please turn in donations by Palm Sunday, March 29. Thank you so much!
