Thousands of eggs will be waiting to be “found” at the annual Easter egg hunt at the Valley Brook Community Church, 160 Granville Road, North Granby, on Saturday, April 19, at 10 a.m.
The egg hunt will take place regardless of the weather. If it rains the hunt will move indoors. The egg hunt is for children ages one through ten and will be grouped by age for the hunt. Everyone is encouraged to arrive early to allow time to park and make their way to the field. Don’t forget to bring a basket or a bag and feel free to invite your friends and their children.
Suffield resident and Director of Children’s Ministry at Valley Brook Chelsea Smith says, “Every year we invite the community to come to our campus at 160 Granville Road in North Granby for a free Easter egg hunt. There will be more than 18,000 candy-filled eggs for the children to find, a scavenger hunt inside the building with prizes and coffee for the parents.”
As well as the free Easter egg hunt on April 19, the community is invited to attend Valley Brook’s worship services on that weekend. Pastor Clark Pfaff says, “On Good Friday we offer a contemplative service that focuses on the crucifixion and includes celebrating communion. On Easter Sunday (April 20) we are offering two worship services, one at 9 a.m. and another at 10:30 a.m. During the 10:30 a.m. service there will be childcare for ages infant through age four. Everyone is invited.”
