The fun kicks off with the

After breakfast, the Easter Egg Hunt will take place on the church’s
front lawn at 10 a.m. 
There will be all kinds of prizes, including lots of special prizes.  It's a great time for young families - all are
welcome.  The cost is $5 per person or
$10 per family or a food donation for Center for Food Action.



 



“Our annual pancake breakfast
and Easter egg hunt is a wonderful time for young families,” said Rev. Andy Nelson.
“Photos from the morning will no doubt appear on hundreds of social media pages
by the several hundred parents and their children attending. Our members are
excited to share the joy and wonder of Easter with everyone who comes and to see
those Easter baskets fill up with plastic eggs.”
