Annual Easter Egg Hunt
MLS Playground, Easter Sunday 10:20 AM
All children are invited. Please meet in the school gym at 10:20 AM with your Easter basket! 6th-8th graders: If you would like to serve as a helper, please meet on the school playground at 10:00 AM to help hide eggs.
Anyone interested in donating plastic, pre-filled eggs, please leave your donations in one of the boxes located in the Commons or School Office by Friday, 19 April (Good Friday).
*Candy should be wrapped, peanut-free, and safe to eat/not a choking hazard for children under 3 (i.e., no Gobstoppers, Laffy Taffy, etc.) Easter stickers, stamps, and bubbles are a great idea for stuffing eggs.

The "Other"
As the younger of two daughters, my mother sometimes felt like the "other" child. She didn't have my aunt's academic achievements or her beautiful voice, so she felt like she was just the "other" one. Sometimes we feel like the "other" in our families, friend groups, or workplaces. Lost and forgotten. There is no "other" one in the sight of God. This is portrayed in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. There are two sons, but one father. Both sons rebel against their father. The father sacrifices his reputation to reconcile each one to himself, thus showing his overflowing love for both. Though we are members of the household of God, which is made up of brothers and sisters in Christ spanning millennia, our Father in heaven knows each one of us personally. He knows our need for forgiveness and our struggles. As Christ says: "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows."
