Easter Joy Shared

The grounds of Turning Point Church in Officer were buzzing with excitement on 18 April, as families, friends and visitors gathered for the annual Easter egg hunt.

The community event was packed with activities for all ages, including a sausage sizzle, popcorn, fairy floss, craft stalls, balloon art, and live entertainment.

Children enjoyed jumping castles and games, while the highlight of the day—the Easter Egg Hunt had little ones eagerly searching every corner for sweet treats.

“What an incredible turn out at Officer Good Friday Games Day & Egg Hunt Community Event,” the church committee shared on social media.

“A huge thank you to every person that came out and made the day as awesome as it was! It is a blessing to see the Community come together.

“Thank you to our Turning point family who supported the event and to our amazing volunteers and vendors who made this all possible.

“Special shout out to the following organisations for your support and contributions: Cardinia Shire Council, Hayden Butler Foundation, Stewart Rope Access , The Coffee Convoy, Melbourne Castle Hire Bouncy Castle, TurningPoint Church Koo Wee Rup and Turningpoint Church Cranbourne.”
