HUGE thanks to everyone who supported the return of our egg hunt event the day before Easter, bringing kids and parents from the community to our church lawn and fellowship hall. Dozens of kids age 1-6 scrambled for over a thousand eggs, while kids age 7-12 got started with Bingo in the fellowship hall. Becky from Blondie's and her assistant/son, Collin, called a lively hour of Bingo, complete with prizes for over 30 children. We couldn't have done it without the generous donations of egg-fillers from our church family; the enthusiastic filling of the eggs by our 9-o'clockers during our relaxed worship service on April 3rd (and follow-up by our church secretary, Robin); and set-up help by Becky and Collin, Pastor Brian, and Randy Schoeneberger. And the actual event was successful because of the teamwork of three of our youth - Riley Knecht, Ian Thomas, and youth alumnus Emily Suter, plus Collin - and adult volunteers Dorianne Gogal, Randy Schoeneberger, Melissa Knecht, and Becky and her mom, Rose. You can see photos of the event on Holy Trinity's Facebook page.
The next big event is the return of the annual Junior Victorian Tea and Basket Raffle on Sunday, May 15th from 2-4pm. Tickets are required (adult $4, $2 per child) - call or text 610-739-6006. Adults must be accompanied by a child! In the past, we've had children from age 1 to about 13 who have enjoyed various aspects of the tea: dress-ups, a craft, BINGO (with prizes, of course!), the basket raffle, and of course the delicious refreshments served on fancy dishes! You can dress up or come in casual attire. Boys and their dads or grandpas have enjoyed the event - it's not just for girls! So spread the word! 100% of the proceeds will go toward a "puppy scholarship" for Tails of Valor, Paws of Honor. If you'd like to help out at the tea or want to donate a kid- or family-friendly basket for the raffle, let Diane know (610-739-6006).
