MCC (Moving Communities to Christ) will host Easter egg hunts at its Elverson and Birdsboro church campuses on Saturday, April 3. Children up to age 12 are welcome to participate. No preregistration is required.
The Birdsboro egg hunt will take place from 10 a.m. to noon in the church parking lot, 144 S. Walnut St., Birdsboro. The Elverson egg hunt will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. in the parking lot of the church, 4221 Main St., Elverson, as well as the adjacent field along Route 23. The rain date for both events is Saturday, April 10.
Egg hunt organizer Jill Dunn, MCC family ministry director, explained that this is the first time that an egg hunt will be held at the Birdsboro campus, which opened in August of 2020.
"For both campuses, (different) age groups will go (to hunt for eggs) one at time so if families have children of different ages, they will be able to watch all their kids do the scramble," she said. "For the Elverson campus, (we will have) over 15,000 eggs. Our goal for Birdsboro is 3,500 (eggs)."
The Elverson egg hunt has been an annual event, with the exception of 2020, when it was canceled due to the pandemic. This year, the Elverson egg hunt will be offered for children in five age groups: 0 to 24 months, ages 2 to 3, ages 4 to 6, ages 7 to 9 and ages 10 to 12. "Since our Birdsboro campus is smaller, we decided to go with three age groups up to age 12," Dunn pointed out.
Those who complete the egg hunt will be asked to return their plastic eggs, which will be filled with candy, toys and stickers. "All the toys and candy will be age appropriate," Dunn noted.
In addition to the egg hunts, MCC will host its annual pancake breakfast on Sunday, April 4, from 7:45 to 10:45 a.m. at the Elverson location. The menu will include pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and more. This year, the food will be served cafeteria-style in the church gymnasium. Takeouts will also be available.
Easter services will take place at both campuses. On Good Friday, April 2, a service of worship and Communion will be offered at 7 p.m. on both campuses. On Easter Sunday, April 4, services will be held at 9 and 11 a.m. at the Elverson campus. The 11 a.m. service will include a mask-only reserved area. The Easter service at the Birdsboro campus will be at 6:30 p.m.
