River City Church Missoula has adopted this mission statement: "Do whatever it takes to reach people far from God." We decided to create an access point for this by dropping 20,000 Easter eggs out of a helicopter over the fairgrounds. Slash and the Easter bunny made an appearance. Jumping castles for the little ones and helicopter rides afterwards! The team ended up get prizes donated like a Wii, IPOD, bikes, gift cards, and an X-Box. We partnered with several local businesses. With 30 volunteers, the event was put together. 5000 mailers were sent out and 5000 people showed up! WHOA! (We didn't tell anyone that we only had 30 volunteers to man the whole thing!) Here are a few pictures from the event. The hunt portion was crazy! Wish I had pictures of that, but I was too busy trying to find Ethan in the masses! I'd say it was a hit and right in line with the goal which makes it a success! We're here to make God famous and I'm pretty sure people are wondering why we've made a big deal out of Easter! The buzz had started!
