The Blancher Bunch: 2010 Recap: March 2010-Palm Sunday Easter Egg Hunt

Our church held an Easter egg hunt for all the children after our Palm Sunday service last year. That service was particularly neat because it was a combined service. A typical Sunday at our church consists of two services-a traditional service and a contemporary service. We're involved in the band at our contemporary service, so we don't see the people that attend the traditional service a lot. We only combine our services a few times a year, but it's really neat to see the whole church join together for worship. We also had our annual Palm parade during the service and there were so many kids there! It was incredibly refreshing to see the future of our church and so reinforcing to see that our church is thriving and growing.

Thomas marched proudly in the Palm parade this year along with all of his buds. Then they all got to listen to a special children's sermon together before heading back to the nursery. It was fun!

After church we all headed over to a field across the street from the church for the Easter egg hunt. Why is it that it's always cold and rainy on Palm Sunday?? Here you've got all these nice, new spring clothes that you are so ready to wear and you either can't or you have to cover it up with a huge jacket! The weather was such as this that day. We pressed on though and wore some of our new spring stuff...it was a great photo opp! Thanks to Kenny for sharing all of his wonderful pictures of the fun!
