Easter Egg WALK ABOUT
In lieu of this year’s Community Easter Egg Hunt, there will be a Cordova Community Easter Egg WALK ABOUT where members of the same household can get out for some fresh air and look for eggs. The event begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 11. Eggs will be hidden around town, in plain sight and away from public entrances. If you find an egg with a number on it, post a photo of you and your egg on the Community Easter Egg Hunt Facebook page to win an Easter Basket. Take proper precautions and participating responsibly. **Review and understand all current COVID-19 mandates prior to heading out: cityofcordova.net/residents/a-safe-cordova/cordova-prepared.

Children’s Bible story
The Little Chapel will post a new children’s Bible story each weekday at 1 p.m. on their Facebook page. The idea is to give kids a fun 10 to 15-minute break in the middle of the day to add some to their changing schedules. The videos will stay on the church page in case you weren’t able to tune in at 1 p.m.
