Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church welcomes the community to an Easter Egg-stravaganza on Saturday, April 12. An Easter Egg hunt will start promptly at 1 pm, rain or shine, with crafts, games and refreshments afterwards. The Easter Bunny will be available to cheer on the youth during all the activities (and for pictures, too!).
“We welcome children and their parents to come and enjoy this festive day, which celebrates new life and rebirth in anticipation of the week to come,” said Pastor Tina. “As a prequel to Holy Week, the Easter Egg-stravaganza allows the community to enter joyfully into the most important time of the Christian Church year – Christ’s victory over sin and death.”
