“The Hunt for Easter!” will take place at the church on Saturday, April 16. Activities will begin at 11 a.m. and run continuously through 1 p.m. Egg hunts for children up to fifth grade will begin at 1 p.m., and a light lunch will be served. All activities are free and open to the community. “There (will be) a welcome table, and we divide (children) into groups of eight or 10 plus their parents. A member of the church youth group will serve as a guide, who will take (participants) from station to station,” Kuharic explained. The first station will depict the birth of Jesus. “Joseph and Mary will be dressed in costume and there will be a baby Jesus,” said Kuharic. This station will also feature live animals. The next station will be set in Nazareth, where children will learn about Joseph. “They will decorate birdhouses in a carpenter shop and talk about Joseph and how Jesus was raised as a carpenter’s son,” noted Kuharic. All materials for decorating the birdhouses will be provided.
