Easter Eggstravaganza!

Help FHCC Prepare for Our 2nd Annual Easter Eggstravaganza

If you were with us last year, you'll remember how the Easter Eggstravaganza was a wonderful event for the families of Forest Hills! Hundreds of children and their families attended, and the church did an amazing job of sacrificially giving their time, talents, and resources to pull it off.

This year, our Easter Eggstravaganza will take place at PS144 on Saturday, April 23rd, the day before Easter. By moving the location to the actual building we hold church every Sunday, we hope to bring more families into God's house, introducing them to FHCC, and showing them firsthand what the love of Jesus is all about.

In order to make this the best year yet, we'll need YOUR help!
We are immediately in need of the following:
Donated Supplies
- Plastic eggs for the egg hunt (we will need at least 1500 eggs)

- Small, pre-wrapped candy (i.e. Hershey’s Kisses, Nestle Crunch eggs, Jolly Ranchers, small Tootsie Rolls, etc.) Please note: jelly beans/other unwrapped candy can’t be used for children's safety. Additionally, smaller candy is better, as it needs to fit in the eggs. Licorice, lollipops and even most "fun sized" candy bars are too big to fit in most eggs.

Volunteers
-Sign up to volunteer to help! While the event runs from 11am-1pm, we will need as many volunteers as possible to make sure all our guests have a good time. Volunteers will need to be available to help from 9am to 4pm. We will also need some helping hands to stuff eggs the days leading up to the event. Email Johanna at info@fhcchurch.com to sign up to help.

Your Faithfulness
-Get the word out! We have a facebook event you can promote to your friends with children, and cards are on the way. Please join us at as many outreaches as you can to get the word out about our Passover/Easter events.

-As with every community event we do, proclaiming the gospel is the entire goal. Your giving makes it possible to be able to share the hope of Jesus' death and resurrection with children and adults alike. Please continue to give to support the outreach efforts of your church.

Thanks in advance for rallying to make this year's Easter Eggstravaganza a huge success!
