Neighborhood Egg Hunt

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt
One of our co-workers, Carla, offered to host an Easter egg hunt in her yard if we would help with inviting all the kids in our neighborhood. Lucas loved inviting the other kids! He talked to each one personally and then told them he'd knock on their door the following week when it was almost time to start. It was a great turnout as we met about 6 new kids and 4 parents! We started with the egg hunt and then I helped lead a few games. Carla shared the real reason for Easter-how Jesus died on the cross but rose again 3 days later. We celebrate a risen Lord! The kids had a great time and we have been able to continue those friendships in the last 2 weeks. We are really blessed to be in this little community where there are a lot of families with kids that we can get to know.
