Easter Egg Hunt

Easter is coming soon and we’re looking forward to the annual Easter Egg Hunt! Following the 11:15 am worship services, children will proceed directly from the services to hunt eggs, so please bring basket(s) to the service. If you have child(ren) planning to participate, drop off two dozen Easter eggs per child (filled with wrapped candy*) at the Church offices no later than Friday, March 29.

Don’t have anyone hunting eggs but want to help? We are grateful for individually-wrapped candy donations, which can be dropped off at the church offices any time. Please contact Sarah Ford at Fords@christchurchcharlotte.org with questions.
*Non-peanut items preferred.

JELLY BEAN PRAYER: A “sweet” prayer for little ones to remind them of the importance of Easter. (Include jelly beans for maximum effect!)

RED is for the blood Christ gave
GREEN is for the grass God made
YELLOW is for the sun so bright
ORANGE is for the edge of night
BLACK is for the sins that were made
WHITE is for the grace Christ gave
PURPLE is for the hour of sorrow
PINK is for a new tomorrow
