Often religions embrace the non-religious aspects of holidays for children. Last week, we shared the draped cloth at Morehead United Methodist Church; this week, we're bringing you the Easter Bunny. So many of the churches in Greensboro have Easter egg hunts just before Easter and Morehead was no exception. Families brought their children out to fill their baskets with plastic eggs. Afterwards, church members gathered for fellowship with barbecue for lunch. Church events bring people together to build a sense of community, centered around faith and spirituality.
All who attended Saturday's event, photographed above, as well as other festivities around the globe, were surely making memories. Today is Palm Sunday and Passover begins at sundown tomorrow. Then there is Passover Seder, Maudy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter. It will be a busy week for many. Regardless of what you believe. Life, with all of its bumps and twists, is glorious and is to be celebrated- sometimes with a little Easter bunny thrown in.
A peculiar contrast!
I don't think the churches I attended growing up would have done that, though there were easter egg hunts after sunrise services on Easter Sunday, held at congregation member's properties in the countryside.
