By Lightning Reports, Published: March 24, 2024

The Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness welcomes children of all ages to participate in an Easter Egg Hunt at 10 a.m. on Easter Sunday, March 31.

The annual event is hosted by St. John’s Young Family Ministry. Participants are encouraged to join the fun in the Rector’s Garden and Parish Hall lawn at 1905 Greenville Highway, across Rutledge Drive from the church. Parking is available.

“Since our founding, St. John in the Wilderness has been at the heart of fellowship and community in Flat Rock and beyond,” said Fr. Josh Stephens, the church rector. “We invite our friends and neighbors to join us for Holy Week as we make our journey toward the cross and for Easter Sunday as we discover that Christ is risen. We also invite children to our Easter Egg Hunt between our worship services on Easter Sunday. We are so blessed to have such wonderful neighbors and a beautiful place to live. It will truly be a gift to come together at this sacred time.”

A special Holy Week foot-washing service is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Maundy Thursday. On Good Friday, Stations of the Cross begins at 11 a.m. with Good Friday services in the church sanctuary at  noon and 5:30 p.m. Easter Sunday services are 8:45 and 11 a.m. with the Easter Egg Hunt in between. Children should bring their own basket. For more information visit www.stjohnflatrock.org.
