Chants of "Drop those Eggs! Drop those Eggs!" could be heard Saturday morning at the Grace Ministries Church in Lititz, PA where hundreds of kids waited excitedly for a helicopter to fly overhead. With a quick tease, the helicopter stirred up the restless crowd with a rapid fly-over and then circled back around in wet and windy weather to drop thousands of eggs across a soccer field for the children to gather. The ropes were raised and the organized mayhem began.
This is our family's second appearance at what was the "5th Annual Easter Party & Egg Hunt" at the church. What a wonderful gift this event is to the entire community. This church opens its' arms and doors to anyone wishing to join in the festivities - regardless of one's faith, or even non-faith. Once the egg gathering ends, the doors open wide to the gymnasium where wonderful games and crafts are waiting for the children, hosted by the church youth group members. This year included visits and photo opps with the Easter bunny, as well as balloon animals, face painting, bounce houses and a really fun magic show. This event is always extremely well-organized; and they run three different times each year making it easily accessible for most anyone's schedule.
Thank you Grace Ministries for opening your arms to our family and many others - we loved every second of it! Happy Easter everyone.
