Gulf Gate Church hosts an eggs-travaganza

It was a peaceful moment under the oaks until the announcement came over the speaker — the egg hunt was on. 

Gulf Gate Church, on Lockwood Ridge Road, held its Easter festivities event right after its service outside, behind the church. The festivities included three bouncy castles, face painting and free coffee and pastries. 

There was a cake walk for those who stayed around after the service, with more than 130 cakes donated. Over 150 children participated in the egg hunts, which were split up into two age groups, up to 5 and 6-12. 

There were two golden eggs hidden, and whoever found the eggs were given bags of toys and candy.
