Easter Eggstravaganza, Saturday, April 4

Easter Eggstravaganza, Saturday, April 4, 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.

 

All children in fifth grade or younger are welcome to participate in this annual tradition. We begin with crafts and songs, followed by an egg hunt.

 

There is no charge, but each child should bring one dozen (12) plastic eggs filled with non-chocolate treats (remember, chocolate will melt and be messy). If possible, please drop your child’s plastic eggs off in the CE room by April 2. It you absolutely can’t do that, bring them with you. Just remember we need time to get all the eggs hidden before the hunt begins and we want to be sure we have plenty for every child.

 

Invite your friends and neighbors as well. Reservations required by April 2; sign up online at www.mytpc.org, at the church, or call the church office.

 

If you have any questions, contact Ester Brockman at 407-657-1302 or Esterb@embarqmail.com
