Mega Easter Egg Hunt

Bring the kids! There are more than 1000 eggs to be found and Goody Bags, too!

On Sunday, April 5, beginning at 9:30am, St. George’s United Church is hosting a children’s Easter Egg hunt with nearly 1000 hidden eggs and prize bags for all. Parents can enjoy coffee/tea and hot-cross buns in the fellowship hall while kids search for eggs.

This event is now in its fourth year and has quickly become a community favourite. Not only that, but coffee and hot cross buns are available for all grownups, too. Following the Easter Egg Hunt, participants are invited to join in the Easter Sunday Worship Service at 10:30am.

“People are often curious, sometimes skeptical about church,” says the Rev. Ryan Slifka, Minister of St. George’s. “But we want everyone to know how welcome they are, and they matter at St. George’s, especially those who have been burned by church in the past or those who don’t feel like they belong at other churches. The Easter Egg Hunt and Easter services are the perfect way to dip a toe in, and find out what we’re about.”

In addition to the Easter Egg Hunt and Sunday Service, there will be a candlelight Easter Vigil service, on Saturday, April 4, which will include the celebration of baptisms and confirmations, starting at 6:30pm.
