Easter Egg Hunt!
April 21, 2019 11:30 PM
Easter is coming soon and, here at St. Stephen’s, we have a tradition of having an Easter Egg hunt following our Sunday service.
In Miller Hall, there is a basket of plastic eggs that need to be taken home and filled with small prizes. (stickers, coins, candy, etc.) Then, once filled, please bring them back to the church so that they can be used Easter morning. The eggs are in bags of 15 eggs, so please take one or two bags (or more if you are willing) and bring them back sometime in the next two weeks. Thank you for helping with this fun event for our wonderful children.
