21st Annual Easter Egg Hunt

Our 21st Annual Easter Egg Hunt will take place April 23 from 9:00 a.m. until noon at the North Campus. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m., and the first egg hunt will start at 9:30 a.m.  There will be four separate egg hunts with prizes and several other activities. The schedule for all activities and egg hunts is listed below, and handouts with that information will be distributed at registration. Please make sure to check the schedule to see what time your child’s egg hunt begins.

Registration is free, but we would like every child who attends to bring one bag of individually-wrapped candies. We will be giving out bags of candy to all kids who attend. If you would like to donate candy or a new toy that we can use for prizes for our egg hunts, you may drop them off in the wagon in the foyer beginning Wednesday, April 13.

We will also have a missions fundraiser, The Great Easter Egg Drop. The goal is to design a “capsule” that will protect a raw chicken egg dropped from at least 25 feet. The fee is $5.00 per entry, and all money raised will go to BGMC (Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge). It is open to adults and children. Registration for this event will take place in the foyer the day of the Easter Egg Hunt – be sure to register early! The Drop will take place right after the last egg hunt.

You may call the office for the rules of the Great Easter Egg Drop or pick up a flyer at the Information Counter or Kids Paradise upstairs. The number is 239.543.2700, and ask for Ronna or Pastor Pete.
