Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church said " Yes, we have an egg hunt on Easter Sunday immediately following our service! The service generally lasts for an hour, and begins at 11am, but the length can vary a bit so I can't make promises about exactly when the hunt will begin. But all are welcome to the service and the hunt! We do a modified egg hunt, which has helped avoid the tears of years past when some kids invariably would find only a few but saw others with dozens: we hide empty eggs in six colors, and each kid is invited to find and collect one egg of each color, which they then turn in for (non-food) goodies. After everyone's had a chance to find their six, we open it back up for those who'd enjoy more hunting to go out and get as many as they can, as "helpers" to make sure all the eggs are collected. It has worked very well for us! Hunters are welcome to bring their own baskets, but we'll have bags available to hand out too. I'd be happy to talk more about our plans for Easter, or any other church programs. My email is CatherineLoya@tvuuc.org  " 2931 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919 (865) 523-4176

Gatlinburg TN

Gatlinburg First United Methodist's Pastor Barbara Clark said " We will have a small gathering of children next Wednesday (April 13th) evening 6:00pm. I plan to make “Resurrection Eggs” with the children and adults, and we’ll probably hide eggs for a little while (inside the building, since we’re surrounded by a downtown parking lot). I’m also hoping to have enough adults here on Easter morning to hide/search for eggs during the worship service (again, in the Education Building). 742 Parkway Gatlinburg TN/ (865) 436-4691
