Resurrection Party: Easter Day Seek and Find without the Awful

Once upon a time I was in charge and the Easter Egg Hunt was an example of everything that church should not be.  Cheating, hoarding, not enough stuff for the choristers and acolytes.  I decided then and there to change this game.  After several incarnations I am proud to say I think I have the most lovely Easter day game.

This year St. Paul's will offer a
RESURRECTION PARTY after the 10.30 am Holy Eucharist on Easter Sunday (April 20).

There is seeking.  There is finding.  There is mission, justice and kindness.  There are surprise treasures.  However there will not be unsupervised candy.  Or hoarding.  Or wasteful junk.

If you would like to help supply the supplies and surprises...then read ahead...but if you have children..make sure they are nowhere nearby!!!!!

The Resurrection Party needs:

• 25+ animal shaped eggs, like ducky eggs, or metallic eggs.  (About $20 for the ducks or $10 for the metallic)
• 25+ living potted flowers
• 25+ Holy Trinity 'coins' that can be carried or strung on a string and worn.  These cost about $20, and JAG can tell you where to order them.
• If you dearly desire to donate candy it must be individually wrapped and have no nuts and not be chocolate.  How awful would it be for a guest child to be offered candy that he or she cannot eat?  (Candy will be at the 'finish line' where parent can supervise choices).
