In the wake of COVID-19, in-person gatherings have been cancelled, but that doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on Easter celebrations. Across Collin County, churches and organizations are offering virtual Easter egg hunts, online services, Passover events, and more! Check them out below, and have a happy Easter/Passover weekend.
Easter Events
Virtual Easter Egg hunts are all the rage this spring. You can still practice social distancing by organizing one in your own house and yard.

This event will take place in the Church Eleven32 parking lot, at 700 Rivercrest Blvd. in Allen, Texas. Each child present will receive an Easter Bag full of candy and have a chance to take a selfie with the Easter Bunny through the car window. The experience begins at 5:30 p.m. so make sure to arrive early so you can get a spot in line.
