Happy Easter! This weekend marks not only “Spring Break” (or what little there is of it), but a special time of families coming together and celebrating their love for one another. For many of us, Easter is so much 
more than Easter baskets and Easter egg hunts, it is a time to remember what Jesus Christ did on the cross and the price He paid for each one of us. It’s a time families use to celebrate the risen King and the true meaning of Easter. Many churches hold sunrise services to honor Jesus Christ and give him glory when the sun comes up signifying the tombstone being rolled away. And to top it all off, we are suppose to have beautiful weather.
Whether you celebrate Easter or not, this weekend offers activities to bring smiles to your faces and get your bodies out and about.
Don’t hesistate, go on and get out! It’s good for you!
