The CE board is preparing for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. We would like some help filling Easter eggs for the hunt. We will have egg cartons full of plastic eggs sitting at the back of church for members to take home and fill. Please have them returned by Palm Sunday so we can get a count of what we need. We will also accept bags of candy or other eggs filled with candy, as we are short on eggs.
Thank you, - CE Board
