Ridgewood, NJ,Bethlehem Lutheran Church today announced its Holy Week series of events designed to help local families experience fellowship, fun and community.
The fun kicks off with the congregation’s annual Pancake Breakfast and Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 4, at 9 a.m., in the church’s gymnasium. After breakfast, the Easter Egg Hunt will take place on the church’s front lawn at 10 a.m. There will be all kinds of prizes, including lots of special prizes. It’s a great time for young families – all are welcome. The cost is $5 per person or $10 per family or a food donation for Center for Food Action.
“Our annual pancake breakfast and Easter egg hunt is a wonderful time for young families,” said Rev. Andy Nelson. “Photos from the morning will no doubt appear on hundreds of social media pages by the several hundred parents and their children attending. Our members are excited to share the joy and wonder of Easter with everyone who comes and to see those Easter baskets fill up with plastic eggs.”
