FREE EASTER EGG HUNT

Blaine Christian Church invites children up to age 11 years old to a free Easter Egg Hunt at the church on Saturday, April 3rd at 11 am.  Children will hunt for candy - filled eggs and enjoy a story.

Parents will need to dress children according to the weather and bring a basket or bag for egg collection.

You and your family are welcome to meet Blaine’s church family on Sunday mornings at either our 8:30 am service or at our 11 am service.  Sunday School classes for children 2 years old through adults meet at 9:45 am.  We are all wearing masks and socially distancing to keep everyone safe and healthy.
