Making connections on Easter Sunday

Posted

Christians throughout the Bellmores celebrated what they believe is one of the holiest days of the year last Sunday –– Easter. Congregants at one of Bellmore’s newer houses of worship were no exception, as Connect Church celebrated the holiday with prayer and festivities.

The weekend before Easter, Pastor John Gravagna encouraged all Bellmore residents to join the congregation for an “EGGcellent Adventure.” The event, which was held on Saturday, April 12, featured outdoor activities for children.

Youngsters ran across the lawn of the church, at West Alder and Corner Lane, during the egg hunt. And they played on inflatable bouncers and at a video game truck.

Connect Church also hosted special services on Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday, featuring musical selections.
