SUFFOLK, Va. -- The weekend of March 12-14 was a busy one for the youth at Holland Baptist Church in Suffolk, Va., as they prepared for a variety of ministry opportunities between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday.
The students gathered on Saturday morning to help fill plastic eggs with candy for the church’s egg hunt on Palm Sunday. The group also sewed 22 Bible handbags from table placemats and crafted Bible bookmarks. Paperback copies of the New Testament were placed in the bags and were delivered to a nearby Native American reservation for Easter.
