Grace Community Church is co-sponsoring an Easter Egg Hunt with Christian radio station WayFM. The event is on Saturday, April 4th from 2 to 3:30 PM at River View Mounds Century Farm.  There will be lots of events for children besides the egg hunt.

I have recently been asked, not by someone from our church but from the community,  why a church would do an Easter Egg Hunt. Their arguement being that Easter is about Jesus, the cross and the resurrection, not about Easter bunnies, colored eggs or chocolate. I completely agree with that statement. The difference for us as a church is that we are trying to reach those who don’t even care to hear our “Easter Story”, but they are interested in Easter bunnies, colored eggs and chocolate.

At this event we are putting Scripture in the eggs, as well as stickers with a Christian theme in the preschool eggs and we will have a storyteller on hand to creatively tell the resurrection story and why we celebrate Easter to children who wish to listen.

Grace people, let’s get the word out to our community and have a great event. Let’s continue to show our community how much we care. Only then will they want to know our life-changing story of the cross and redemption.

What are your thoughts?
