We have been blessed to have Jordan step up and volunteer to be our children's director. Jordan has a wealth of experience and her desire to reach young children for Christ is inspiring to others and myself at Embrace. Jordan agreed to spearhead our Easter egg hunt but she got more than she bargained for, her along with everybody else. After spending a few weeks advertising the event at Woodland Park I was notified we had to find another location. As we started praying an opportunity opened up for us as the Dunbar Community Center on North Upper St. Around the same time the director of the center, Bob Owsley was also praying that somebody would host an Easter Egg hunt for his kids because they had gone through major budget cuts. Bob was just as excited as we were about the Dunbar Center being our new location. It was right where we needed to be, especially since the area is such an underserved part of Lexington; an area that doesn't care if we bring a petting zoo, bouncy house, and other fun things. We only had a few days to get the word out about a change of location. With everything we went through we still had 200 people show up which was awesome. Everybody had a great time and we were equally as blessed watching the festivities. We passed out information on Embrace and welcomed parents as they came in with their children. I think this can be the beginning of partnership we develop with the Dunbar Community Center.
