Bodcaw News

We had a full house at church Easter Sunday. A lot of families were together. On Easter we take a crude wood cross and the people decorate it with live flowers. It changes it to a thing of beauty. Live things grow. Are you a growing Christian?

An Easter egg hunt was at Bodcaw #1 Saturday, April 22. We had about 25 children and at least that many adults. Each child colored an egg and were read an Easter story by Mary Anna. Each made a Jesus is alive' craft while the adults hid over 400 eggs. After the hunt everyone had bunny cookies and punch. At the end anyone who wanted to join in a raw egg toss and other raw egg games did. Each child took home a cross pin with their smiles.

The J.D. Allens had all their family visiting. Saturday they went to Camden to a get together with J.D's sister, Lois Darby, and her family. They had a great time. Andy and Coleene brought little Carter Michael Allen for his first visit to great grandparents, J.D. and Marie.
