Friends are invited to join us for Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday!!! Yes! You read that correctly! This coming Sunday, April 4, 2021, New Garden Friends Meeting will have our annual Easter egg hunt in the cemetery at 1 p.m.! However, we will have to do things a little differently this year and follow some simple guidelines. We will not use recycled plastic eggs this year. The Religious Education committee has purchased pre-stuffed eggs in an effort to reduce
excessive handling. We will not collect the empty eggs afterward for reuse next year. The Easter bunny will be sure to use gloves while hiding the eggs. In addition:

  • Everyone should bring their own basket or bag.
  • Masks must be worn.
  • Participants must stay in family groups and practice social distancing with other family groups.
  • There should be no running.
  • Once you touch an egg it is yours.

Disposable masks and hand sanitizer will be provided. We are looking forward to seeing everyone!!!

Upcoming Adult Forums

Friends are invited to complete the Blue Zones Happiness test beforehand and discuss as they feel led. As we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, the coming of Spring, and new beginnings, Friends may feel led to explore and/or refresh areas of their own lives.
