The Easter eggs, held at The Church of the Latter Day Saints on Saturday March 28th. A nice, clear sunny day brought out a host of little ones to the Church in search of as many eggs as they could find. This is the eighth year the church has hosted this event. When it first started, it was for the congregation only but that has changed to include anyone in the community who would like to attend.
Upon arrival, the youngsters go in and have a craft time in which they can make a craft and color. This also follows at the end of the hunt. For the hunt, it is done by a certain age group, the youngest first. The older group follows a short time later.
The eggs are filled by the church’s Cub Scout group, which filled 845 eggs this year. The eggs are then hidden by the Church Missionary group. Last year 50 children came to enjoy the activities.
I spoke with the Branch President Daniel Bearl who told me that the Church was excited and happy to do this at this time of year for the community and that this is his favorite time of year because it is the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and that makes us Christians.
After the hunt, everyone is invited in for hot chocolate and doughnuts and conversation. I thank Branch President Daniel Bearl and congregation for their time, and I enjoyed being able to share this with them.
Now it’s time to head to the doughnuts, next best thing to cookies.
