This morning, EBC hosted its 8th annual community Easter egg hunt. It's neat when you start a great tradition and people call you each year asking when it is going to be. This event bridges ethic and economic gaps across our community and seems to be a lot of fun for everyone. We were taking good notes on Saturday and are already thinking of ways to make this Bigger and Better for next year.
Literally hundreds of children, plus parents and grandparents joined us for the day. The story of Easter was presented appropriately to each age group, and we gave away 130 prizes, including bicycles and many other "fun" toys to those who found the special prize eggs. Finding the special eggs was a daunting task among the 12,000 eggs that were distributed across our campus, but every child went home with at least a bag of candy.
The highlight of the day was the parents' egg hunt. Last year, we gave away a Wii game system, this year, we gave away two $100 cash prizes. The parents were almost more fun to watch than the kids. Congratulations to Scott and Carie for finding the winning eggs!
Thanks to Pastor David, our staff, and the dozens of volunteers that takes to pull off such a large event and to do it well. The involvement of our church family is what makes EBC so special.
