Photos: Highland Baptist Easter

April 25, 2011

Highland Baptist Church in Molino held a Resurrection Celebration Sunday, with over 2,000 eggs and the Easter Bunny.

From Sara Calhoun, Highland’s children’s director:

We had the Easter Bunny make an appearance at our Resurrection Celebration and teach the kids that Easter is NOT about him ~ it’s not his ‘birthday’, it’s not about him at all! It’s all about JESUS! Our prize eggs were empty to symbolize our ultimate prize with the EMPTY TOMB. They traded their empty eggs in for Bibles. It is near impossible to ignore these type traditions in our society, so we try to find ways to incorporate them into the true reason we celebrate by making everything point back to the cross and empty grave. The children led in worship by singing and acting out ‘Glorious Day’. Resurrection Sunday is when we celebrate the Glorious Day when Jesus conquered death and the grave.
