Seadrift Easter Sunrise Services

What makes Easter special? There are lots of reasons. Time with family, vacation, and good food are reasons. For those who enjoy going to church Easter is a most special time of the year to celebrate the Risen Savior.
Both the Seadrift First Baptist Church and the Seadrift Community Church celebrated Easter with Easter Sunrise Services. The Sunrise service for First Baptist was held where the new Baptist parsonage is being constructed in Seadrift. The Seadrift Community Church held their service at their church located in Seadrift as well.
When asked why Easter is so special Pastor Mart Maxwell had this to say: “Easter is the sealing of the work that was done on the Cross with Jesus Christ. Without the resurrection the work was done in vain.” Pictured inside the church before their Easter service started is Pastor Mart Maxwell (back row, far right) with his beautiful congregation. Front and center are Pastor Mart’s wife Mary Ann with two of their three grandchildren Rostyn and Amberlee. Front and far right is their daughter Meghan Chessher.

Seadrift is so blessed to have active churches who are making a stand for God and all that He represents! We salute ALL the Seadrift Churches. Thank you!

“I think Seadrift needs events like this to better connect with the community.”
Seadrift Police Chief Marie Carisalez

On Palm Sunday, March 24th, a crowd of close to 200 people came to the First Annual Easter Egg Hunt put on by Seadrift’s police department. The location was at the Seadrift Civic Center and an open lot next to the Seadrift Police Station. Seadrift’s Community Service Club joined in all the fun as well as several volunteers including the Seadrift School National Honor Society. It was indeed a community effort! The Easter Bunny made a grand appearance. Not only was there an egg hunt but there was free popcorn, cotton candy, and hot dogs. The Service Club raffled off ten Easter baskets and there were several games as well as a 50/50 raffle. A Bounce House provided lots of fun for the kids.

Sponsors for the event were as follows: Bubba’s, La Terraza, Dick’s, Belinda’s Bookkeeping and Tax Service, Seadrift Community Service Club, Peace Maker Technologies, Tracey Johnson, Coastal Pool Cleaning, Dollar General (Miss Maggie), Family Dollar (Miss Celia), The Shack, and Seadrift Police Clerk Annette Delgado
