[Magdalen] Easter Egg Hunts BEFORE Easter

[Jon Egger]

Old Trinity did this last year on the Saturday before Palm Sunday.  It's
advertised in the local rag,  and held for the local neighborhood.  We'll
probably do this again this year.

The question in the back of my mind is whether or not this should be
considered an evangelism event.   Sure, the children have fun...but do the
adults get information about Old Trinity?  Should they?

Any thoughts?
