[April 04, 2018]  On Sunday, April 1, Open Arms Christian Fellowship held an Easter Egg Extravaganza in a lot nearby to the church.

Before the children hunted for eggs, Chris Whiteman told them the Easter story beginning with the events of Palm Sunday followed by the Last Supper, Jesus' prayer in the garden, Jesus' crucifixion, and finally, Jesus' resurrection.

Over sixty children from preschool through fifth grade then searched for 2,500 eggs filled with either candy, prizes, or cash.

The eggs were hidden in three sections. The younger children from ages two to five found eggs in a little area beside the church.

Children from ages six to eight and nine to ten each had separate sections to search in.

Once the children were done searching, the Easter Bunny posed for a picture with several of them.

Back inside the warm church building, children excitedly dug through their baskets of eggs looking for candy and hopefully a special prize or even cash.
