Baskets in hand, these kids at Anderson United Methodist Church
are ready for a hunt.
But not just any hunt.
A very competitive search for Easter eggs.
How many Easter eggs do you have?
12345678910, yeah.
Too many Easter eggs to count,
but even better, a chance for kids to get a
taste at what Maddox calls a sweet treat.
I like to eat candy and eat vegetables.
This is absolutely, really fun because we all come together
as a family,
as in the church, and it's just like we get
to be here and we're celebrating Jesus for his reason.
And while the kids have all the fun,
the adults are thinking of the real reason for the
season.
It's not about just the Easter,
it's about the reservation of Christ,
and that's what the main event is about.
Some people come out for the eggs and certainly the
kids enjoy that too.
But of course, we know the real reason that we
ever been celebrating this day is because Jesus died and
rose again and for all of our sins,
and now we are. Have direct communion with God and
all that.
It was a similar scene at the AG Museum.
There was a line of people,
baskets in hand, waiting to get in for the annual
Easter event in Jackson.
