We put lottery tickets in our plastic eggs for the children. They are expected to split the winnings, plus pay tithes.
































J/k!!!!!

Last time I checked, it was called reading the Bible. Sorry for such a filppant response, but your post deserved it.

I don't think there should be Easter egg hunts in the church on Easter, nor do I think there should be Christmas trees in the church at Christmas.

Blessings, Rhoni

I grew up without it and I learned what Christmas and Easter was all about. I would hate to think that our children knew more about Christmas trees and Easter eggs/bunnies than about the Birth of Christ, his death, burial, and resurrection.

Blessings, Rhoni

P.S. I think you are surprised? I am more conservative than people give me credit for...

I think the way Salina does it is great. Just think... there may be some children there that have never heard the Easter story. Never!!!

What an oppurtunity to plant a seed in those hearts. What a chance to
win them to Sunday School. I was a SS kid. My parents never attended church, but they let us go to SS.

I remember well and with great fondness the Easter Sundays in that little church. Sunrise service, then to someones home for breakfast, then back to the church for service, then back to the river for a picnic and egg hunt. Then home after a long beautiful day celebrating Christ.

I was just 9 or 10 yrs old. That has always been my favorite memories of Easter Sunday.

Your post says a lot.

I'm sure it was there, but I never read The Cross, Angels, Crucifixion or Resurrection in your "Easter Sunday" experience.

This is why there is such a controversary.
