Outreach Center Sponsors 2nd Annual Easter Fling Kids, kids, and more kids stormed the grounds of the St. Peter's World Outreach Center on April 1 in one of the Triad's largest Easter egg hunt ever. Aptly- called,- a-C&Udren- s Eastef Fling, youngster and their parents were bused from surround ing areas - Happy Hills Gardens. Stoney Glenn. Cleveland Avenue Projects, and numerous other pick up points - to join in the festivities. Prior to the over 1.000 toddlers to youth scrambling AV2f St Pel^r s hill sides, the children were served popcorn as they watched the Chil dren's Church Praise Team get everyone involved in clapping, tap ping. and singing songs of praise. The entertainment for the day was telling the real Easter story through a puppet show by the Chil dren's Church Drama Ministry Leader. Renee Henrv, and a mime - r by the Creative Arts Ministries Uut reach Auxiliary, whose participants were: Jeff Hoover as Jesus; Tommy Hicks, the blind man; Valerie ^IcClellan. the crying woman; and James C. Hash Jr.. the lamb man. A* clowns, persons dressed in various animal costumes, and fairy tales characters, such as Tweedle Dee. mingled with the children, refreshments of hot-dogs, chips, cookies, and drinks were served to fhp amtinns crowd. As the pastor, the Rev. J.C. Hash Sr.. tried to prepare everyone for the hunt, he made the mistake of saying. "When I say ready, set. go. then go for it." AIT those little ears heard were the magic words: READY, SET, GO; -and off they flew, about 300 of them, what a joy it was to watch, the scurrying and clamoring! The fun really came in trying to stop them. Because the screeching and screaming of the mass of children, it was hard to pull -them hack Finally the fastest run ners were in hot pursuit to stop everyone, but not before over 100 eggs had been claimed. The committee had certain areas for each age groups, as the . eggs had to be replaced, instruc tions given, and then the' KhAUY.Sbl, OU. home eggs had money, some gift certificates, and some candy. The yells of glee and smiles' of parents and kids thrilled the hearts for all who watched. After gathering all the goodies, each child was given a bag of treats, prizes, and toys to take home; so no one left empty handed. It was truly a dav^of parent/child participation and fun! The weekend climaxed with Tf production of "Have You Heard the Good News?" by the Children's Church Department under the lead ership of Pat Stepney. The dramatic musical told the story of Jesus and those whose lives he touched with his ministry. This was St. Peter's second year for the Easter Fling,' and they hope next year's program will bus to return home summed it up best: "Mom." he said with laughing eyes, ""We did good! Didn't we? We sure had fun!" as he grabbed her cheek for a big hug. "That's what it's all about," stated Pastor Michael Benton, who headed the project, "saving the children, bring ing families-together."
