The Christian Club hosted the conclusion of the Easter Egg Hunt, that combined fun activities with discussions about faith and community, on April 16 during club time. Over the past few weeks, students spread across campus searching for colorful eggs filled with small slips of paper containing Bible verses. The event’s purpose was to collect the most eggs, with the reward being a Needoh sensory fidget.
The event created an energetic atmosphere as participants laughed, competed, and interacted with one another outside of the usual classroom setting. In addition to the egg hunt, the club meeting included a short presentation focused on faith and commitment being the main anchor of Christianity.
“My favorite part was learning that being lukewarm in your faith doesn’t really mean you’re a Christian,” said Noah Hailu, ’31. “The ‘fence’ story stood out to me: the idea that you can’t stay in the middle if you want to be truly committed.”
Club leaders said the event was designed not only to be fun, but also to connect students with the meaning behind Easter.
“The Christian faith is deeply rooted in tradition, and Easter is a meaningful way for us to come together as a community,” said Jordan Paya, ’29. “It allows us to celebrate the traditions of early Christians while sharing something important with our school.”
Preparation for the event was part of the club’s regular structure, where members take turns organizing meetings and preparing presentations. According to Paya, this system allows different students to contribute and take leadership roles throughout the year.
Members of the club also hope events like the Easter Egg Hunt help change how students view the group.
“I definitely think that having events where everyone can participate helps break the stigma,” said Anny Du, ’30. “When I invite people, they often say, ‘Oh, I’m not Christian,’ but everyone is welcome, regardless of what they believe.”
For many, the event was about more than just collecting eggs. “Seeing people actually picking up the eggs and reading the verses made me really happy,” Du said. “It felt like the event brought people together, and overall, I think it turned out really well.”
The meeting concluded with students writing down prayer topics on the board, followed by a short group prayer led by David Chung, ’29. As the school year continues, the Christian Club plans to host more events that encourage both participation and reflection, aiming to create a welcoming space for all students.
