aster egg hunts for people of all ages will be held at Action-Impact, a nonprofit Christian youth organization located at 80 Vickery Lane in Elverson. The events will also include the telling of the Easter stor y, which recounts Jesus’ death and resurrection. Activities will begin with a flashlight Easter egg hunt on Friday, April 18, from 7 to 10 p.m. for students in middle school and high school. Attendees are asked to bring their own flashlights. “Our staff and some parents hide the eggs in the late afternoon and early evening. We put a few dollars in some of them, and there are lots of candy and prizes,” said Action-Impact director Dave Pershall, noting that one of the hidden eggs will contain a $20 prize. “Everyone waits to see who (finds the grand prize).” Students will also learn the Easter story through music and a short film. “Our worship team is made up of students and adults, and they will sing a couple of songs and the kids can join in if they would like to - obviously related to Jesus and the meaning of Easter,” Pershall explained. “We show a half hour of ‘The Jesus Film’ that goes through story of Jesus’ life from the book of Luke.”
