Sights of Easter

It was a beautiful sunny day with indoor activities including coloring, face painting and several games such as an egg spoon carry, and "bunny" bowling, run by teens from the Youth Group.

Outside activities included three separate egg hunts for different age levels, and a huge inflatable slide.

After all the eggs were found, the children and their families went to the social hall for hot dogs, burgers and fries.
