1. My Service Learning By: Danielle Lalk

2. Mars Hill Church Easter Egg Hunt  Each year my church holds an Easter Egg Hunt for the children.  This year they decided to extend the hunt to an all day event.

3. Arts and Crafts  The kids made palm trees out of their hand prints.  Part of the youth trying to hide from me! (at the top)  Me and my arts and crafts partner Jamey

4. Lunch Time!!!  After arts and crafts it was lunch time with the kids.  Peanut butter and jelly for the kids and ham and cheese for the adults!

5. Story time  After lunch everyone sat down for story time with the Youth Group.  It’s hard holding their attention but we tried the best we could

6. Hiding the eggs… don’t peak!  There’s me hiding eggs for the three year olds (and posing for the camera!)  Each age group had their own areas for hunting eggs so we had to hide 4 groups of eggs in different areas!

7. The Hunt  We thought we hid the eggs in easy spots… but I think we overestimated the three year olds!  All one hundred and twenty eggs were finally found and it was time to move on to the six year olds.

8. The older ones  Eggs were scattered over hills, under trees, and behind cars for the older ones… needless to say they finished faster than we thought.  Never underestimate a kids love of chocolate!

9. The End  After the older ones finished with their egg hunt we were finally done.  After about an hour of clean-up it was time for us to go home.  The day was long but I had a blast working with the children. I left my church with a better attitude.  I got the chance to do something for all the kids at the church and spend time with a lot of people that I have pulled away from in the past couple months. It was a great experience for me.
