What's Up in Religious Education
All Welcome Easter Service This Sunday  
This Sunday is our All Welcome Easter service.  Kids will remain in the Sanctuary with their families for the entire celebration. Activity bags will be available for kids. Feel free to bring quiet toys or games from home, as well.
 
The nursery will be open for the very young. 

(Easter Egg) Hunt for Justice  
After both services kids are invited to gather on the playground for the 4th annual Hunt for Justice.
 
What makes the Hunt for Justice different from other Easter Egg hunts?  The Hunt for Justice isn't just about candy and prizes! 
 
Here's how it works--
Kids collect eggs, then bring them to the voting table. At the table, kids vote for the social justice project of their choice by dropping their eggs into the appropriate boxes.  This year the options are--
1. Book drive for Beacon House
2. Potomac River clean up
 
After the kids have voted, there will be prizes and treats for everyone.  Bring an Easter Basket--or use your activity bag from service.
 
Social Justice projects will take place in June--watch for the dates.
