When I was a kid it was fun to color eggs and fun to hunt for them.
And what kid doesn’t like candy?

When my mom and us colored the eggs, nobody was around telling us they were symbols of fertility and a pagan practice.

In our church, there is nothing spooky or pagan about the service.
It’s just another service with a specific message, which is all about worshiping God.

I don’t believe Jesus would have a problem with most services on Easter and I’m positive he wouldn’t have a problem with kids having harmless fun.

It might seem harmless. And it might seem to be fun. But God doesn't condone mixing pagan practices with worship of him.

Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
