LAUREL, Del. (AP) - Most folks celebrating Easter hide eggs the old-fashioned way - on foot. A church in Delaware decided to take to the skies for the job.
WMDT-TV reports (https://bit.ly/1DPapDM ) that the Central Worship Center in Laurel used a helicopter to drop about 2,000 eggs over a field. Those were on top of 15,000 already on the ground for the 2,000 children who joined Sunday’s hunt.
Pastor Tim Dukes says the egg drop is designed to show the community that the church loves them and wants “to be the type of ministry that walks with people through life.”
Dukes says this is the fourth year the church did the helicopter drop and that it gets bigger every year.
Next year, the church plans to use skydivers to drop eggs.
