River Kids' Easter event is March 30th at 11-12:30pm. Please register for this event by March 15th so we can have enough hidden eggs and treats.  Our hunts will be on North River's campus and will be a fun family event so don’t be late- the hunt happens so quickly! Please bring a basket or bag to place your eggs in! 

If rain is forecasted we will cancel the event by 5pm Friday night, and everyone will be emailed. If we have to cancel we will have some special parts added to their river kids class, and you can pick up a “diy egg hunt kit” for your family on Sunday at church!
