Hi Everyone!!!
I wanted to send some reminders about the Children’s Easter Celebration THIS
Sunday, April 7th!
HUGE thank you to those of you who have volunteered to help in some way this
weekend, to those who donated pre-filled eggs, and also to Sharon Allen’s
mother, Charlene Guynes, who contributed $150 to our event. This has helped
tremendously with our supply costs. As of last Sunday we counted
approximately 2,200 eggs (yay!) So we are super thankful for our church
family who contributed as well.
1. Tomorrow morning we have set-up from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The more who
show and are able to chip in, the quicker we will finish. Set-up will include
ensuring the tables and stations are all in position and decorated, putting
up a large banner, setting out our crafts, organizing stations, ensuring
everything is squared away in the kitchen for use the next morning for baking
our resurrection rolls, etc. I hope that those who volunteered to help on
Sunday morning during the event are able to make it to set-up because I would
really like to go over the timeline and details in person. If not, then at
least the segment leads (Amber for craft, Virginia for rolls, and Melody for
hunt) so we can ensure we’re all on the same page :)
2. Tomorrow is also the day that we would like those who signed up to bring
resurrection roll supplies/ingredients to please bring them in during set-up
time. I show that Michelle is bringing 2 bags of large marshmallows, Amy is
bringing a tube of crescent rolls, Amber is bringing 2 tubes of crescent
rolls, Melody is bringing 5 tubes of crescent rolls, and Virginia is bringing
a 1 lb. pack of butter, parchment paper, and cinnamon and I’m bringing sugar.
** I show childcare will be needed during set-up time for my family (2), the
Conerlys (2), and the Salehis (2). Let me know if anyone else will need
childcare for tomorrow morning.
3. Sunday: We are still on track to follow the schedule/timeline I sent out
in a previous email. If those of us helping Sunday morning could please
arrive in the gym no later than 9:30 a.m. ready to go, that’d be wonderful.
Families may arrive early and we want to be ready.
**Amber is the lead for the Last Supper craft (it is super cute) with Amy
Stone and Dera Webster as helpers.
**Virginia is the lead for the Resurrection Rolls (also amazing) with Ashley
and Lydia Clark helping as well as Suzette Rogers. We will have craft and
face painting stations during this time as well while the rolls bake if there
is anyone else available to help during this segment either in the gym or in
the kitchen.
**Melody is the lead for the hunt with Michelle Salehi and Rebecca Patten as
helpers. We are going to have the children sign in as they enter the gym so
that we can calculate approximately how many eggs will be needed in each of
the 3 groups (3 & under, 4-1st grade, and 2nd-5th grade) and possibly set an
egg limit per child if we have a huge turnout. Having 2,200 eggs and by
splitting the children into age groups, I am hoping we won’t have an issue
with children taking all the eggs and not leaving some for others. Robin will
be dressed as the Bunny and will lead the groups outside to the designated
hunting areas (the 2 playground areas and the grassy area around the side and
front of church). Although Melody is the overall lead for this, I think it
would be wise to have a lead for each one of the 3 age groups. Melody will
need help “hiding” the eggs (great job for husbands!!) I am leaving it up to
her for when she wants to hide them — either during the 9:00 church service
or during the 1st half of the Easter event since we won’t hunt until the end.
It doesn’t look like it will rain which is great!! Gym is reserved as back-up
just in case.
4. The hunt will conclude the event and Clean-up will take place at 11:00,
immediately following the hunt. I show myself, Michelle, Virginia, Amy,
Melody, Rebecca, Audrey (and Julie), Suzette, and Dera are signed up. The
more the merrier and the quicker it’ll be cleaned :)
Here is the sign-up genius one more time if anyone needs to sign up or make
changes.

I am certain I am forgetting something. Please email or text with any
questions. My number is 256-762-5814. I am looking so forward to seeing you
all at set-up tomorrow morning and for the event on Sunday! It is going to
bring so much joy to the children and their families while teaching them
about Jesus and His abundant love for us! Thank you all SO much!

Per Melody’s recommendation, I’ve added a row to the sign-up genius for our
circle members to list their pre-filled egg donations. This is a GREAT way to
contribute if you’re unable to help the weekend with the actual event.
***Please remember: DEADLINE for egg donations is this Sunday, March 31st***
Thank you all so much!!!

FYI, Audrey there is a check in your box with a $50 donation to the Easter
Egg Hunt. Paula Distler found it in the UMW box when she was there yesterday
and told me about it.

Ladies,
I’m just too crazy to do much, but I did have the kids yesterday put candy in
a couple of hundred eggs that I’ve collected over many an egg hunt. Will
bring them this Sunday.

Hi Ladies,
I know many of you are on Spring Break this week (yay!) and I hope everyone
is enjoying it! I just wanted to send an update on the Children’s Easter
Celebration that our circle will be sponsoring on Sunday, April 7th during
the Sunday School hour, 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. This event is open to children
ages 2-5th grade. Again, it is an optional event and Sunday
School/childcare will still be available for those who will not be
participating, but we encourage families to attend as it will be a special
time to fellowship and celebrate our Risen Savior. We will be focusing on
the story-line of Jesus from the last supper through His resurrection.
Audrey has both the kitchen and gym reserved for us that weekend for set-up
on Saturday, April 6th from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and then for the actual
event from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. I will be sending out a sign-up genius
immediately following this email. If you have volunteered to lead or help
with a segment the day of the event, please try to attend the set-up so
that we can run through the schedule for the following day.
Audrey has met with Amy McBroom for publicizing the event within our
church. Please help spread the word about both the event and donating
candy-filled eggs (deadline for eggs is Sunday, March 31st). Audrey so
kindly placed donation baskets around the church for members to place their
pre-filled eggs in.
Egg-citing News!!! The Bunny costume HAS BEEN FOUND. I repeat, Bunny
costume HAS BEEN FOUND :-) Robin has volunteered to play the role of the
Bunny, which will walk through as the children are enjoying their snack and
then lead them outside to the egg hunt. Parents are welcome to snap photos
of their children with the Bunny throughout this time.
Following is the draft schedule:
10:00 - Welcome/Prayer
10:00 - 10:15 - Last Supper Craft(s) (Lead: Amber; Helpers signed up at
this time: Amy)
10:15 - 10:30 - Make Resurrection Rolls (Lead: Virginia; Helpers signed up
at this time: Sharon and Suzette)
10:30 - 10:40 - Craft/Story while rolls bake
10:40 - 10:50 - Open rolls to find the “empty tomb” and enjoy them as a
snack with juice boxes (ingredients are needed for the resurrection rolls -
see sign-up genius if you are able to donate a food item. Please drop off
food item during set-up time on April 6th).
10:50 - 11:00 - Easter Egg Hunt (Lead: Melody Herrmann; Helpers signed up
at this time: Michelle and Rebecca) I recommend splitting up the hunt by
age groups. Perhaps ages 2-4 on smaller fenced-in portion of playground
closest to church, grades pre-K-1st grade on larger fenced-in portion of
playground and grades 2nd-5th around the grassy areas next to the
side/front of the church. Michelle suggested setting a limit on the # of
eggs each child can take from the hunt. We can decide upon this once we
know how many eggs we’re working with.
11:00 - Conclusion of event
11:00 - 12:00 - Clean-up
Let me know if you have any questions/feedback!
Thank you all!!!
