Easter Eggs with the Sunday school Children

Every year during Easter times, the children from the center as well as those in the community coming to church, look forward to the painting of the eggs and hiding sweets so that they can hunt for them. Its a time we remember the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, what he did for us on the cross. The children usually have a good time painting the eggs different colors, have egg fighting with each other and learn more about the cross. We also talk about passover and what that meant to the Jewish community because it also fall around this time.
When Charles and Darlene are around, we usually do the passover ceremony which is an ancient tradition of the Jews. The students love that very much. I hope we will do a late ceremony so that they new kids can also enjoy this ancient tradition.
Joel.
