1st Annual First Presbyterian Church
Palm Sunday Pancake Breakfast
&
Easter Egg Hunt

You and your family are invited March 29th, 2015 to the pancake breakfast hosted by the Youth of
First Presbyterian Church in the C.E. Building. From 8:30-9:30am the youth will serve you delicious pancakes and sausage, fruit and coffee. This will be our first fundraising event for our 2015 summer mission trip.

THEN!

After worship on the 29th, all children 5th grade and under, especially the little ones, are welcome to participate in our first annual Easter Egg hunt. If it the weather is nice, the hunt will take place outside. If it decides to rain…or snow, we will hunt the eggs inside. This is a great opportunity to invite friends and family alike to join in on a little fun at First Presbyterian Church.
(From this Sunday until Sunday, March 29th, we are in need of plastic Easter eggs and kid friendly items to fill them with. The Deacon’s have put a basket at the Ottawa Street entrance for you to place your contributions. If you have any questions please call the office at 217-732-6141.)
