Today, we will be reaching our community by providing an Easter Egg Hunt and skit at 11:00 a.m. Read Luke 23:50-56. The day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday is the day Jesus lay in the tomb. It was a day of grieving on earth but a day of great anticipation in heaven. On the first day of the week, the tomb will be empty. Candy in a plastic egg has become a symbol of resurrection. Each year, we offer an Easter Egg Hunt to our community as a means of celebrating the greatest event in the history of creation. Today, we pray that we will reach families with the resurrection message by providing this joy-filled event for children.
Most Holy God, may our hearts be turned to you this day. We praise you for allowing us this opportunity to reach our community. May this year’s Easter Egg Hunt be an opportunity for families to be drawn to what you have done for them. Amen.
