MBC
to host Easter Extravaganza
What happens when you
mix 1,000 Easter eggs, hundreds of kids and their parents, carnival
games, free food and a visit from the Easter Bunny? It is the
Easter Extravaganza at Monterey Baptist Church.
The church will host the Easter event trom 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. April
15 on the MBC campus in Monterey.
The event is geared toward families with children through fifth
grade and will include an Easter egg hunt, carnival games, an
inflatable moon bounce, pictures with the Easter bunny and free
food. The only charge for the event will be $5 for the Easter
Bunny photos. The photo project is a fundraiser for the church’s
Relay for Life team.
“This is a great opportunity for parents and their children
to enjoy the day together,” said Pastor Tony Watkins. “We
felt this was a great way to kick off a season of renewal that
begins with the celebration of Christ’s resurrection on
Easter morning.”
Families are encouraged to arrive at the church early for all
the activities that are planned. The Easter egg hunt will take
place at 12:30 p.m. Children will be divided into age groups and
each age group will have its own egg hunt. Approximately 1,000
filled Easter eggs will be hidden on the church property. Several
prize eggs will also be included, and children who find them will
receive special prizes.
The Easter Extravaganza is just the beginning of spring activities
at Monterey Baptist Church.
On Easter Sunday morning, Watkins will begin a six-week series
on “Seeking God’s Vision.” The first sermon
will focus on “Embracing the Vision: Living Life With Purpose.”
Other sermon topics include: “Why You Need a Church Family;”
“What God Wants Us to Remember;” Enabling the Vision:
Giving Yourself;” and “How to Get Ready to Be Used
by God.”
In addition, the church will begin two discussion groups surrounding
the movie and the book “The DaVinci Code.” The discussion
will center on what the Bible says about the claims made in Dan
Brown’s fiction novel and the coming movie.
A third group will go through Rick Warren’s “Forty
Days of Purpose” study, and a fourth group, for young adult
women, is also starting.
All groups are open to the public. If you’d like to participate
in any of them, please contact the church office at 484-2555.
