The 3rd Annual Cartersville Egg Drop is tomorrow, March 27th. (See www.TheEggDrop.com)
The planning is done, 50,000 Easter Eggs are assembled, tons of candy has been donated and sorted, hundreds of volunteers have signed up and are prepared, doorhangers and invite cards have been passed out, the trailer is loaded and ready to go. Prayers have been said for weeks and months leading up to this one event. Volunteers will show up as early as 7am for an event that doesn't start until 10am.
Why? Why does a church put such a huge effort into an event not about Jesus but about candy and eggs? Simple. Jesus called his followers to be light in the darkness, so that those in the dark would be drawn to Him. If through The Egg Drop, one person accepts an invitation to Oak Leaf Church where they can come and hear about Jesus, then we have succeeded. We desire to see people drawn to God. There are so many people just in Cartersville who are far from God. We are not going to reach them by quoting scripture or pointing fingers at them. Jesus went out to the people. The Egg Drop is one way that Oak Leaf Church gets into the community to have fun and build connections with people.
Hope you can come!
