Once again no helicopter. The cloud cover was too low. Once again the weather was less than exciting. It was cold and a bit rainy. But it was still a great day. Why? Here's a handful of reasons:
1. Children just want to have fun and the Easter Egg Hunt delivers that in a big way.
2. Parents want their children to have fun and from what I saw and heard they were more than satisfied.
3. The Easter Egg Hunt was a real outreach. Over 1200 people heard the real Easter story and there were many people who heard the gospel who have yet to embrace it.
4. Every generation participated in some way. It would have been fun to see if we had someone from every age 0-80. I bet we did.
5. The Easter Egg Hunt contributed to the mission of KidCreek without becoming a distraction from our primary objectives. Events have a way of clouding purpose.
6. This event generated enthusiasm and excitement from the whole congregation for the children's ministry. The whole church participated in some way (Prayer, candy donations, volunteers, participants).
