Church egg hunts and services

Churches across Rock Hill hold egg hunts and Easter services, but none had posted 2027 plans when we checked. If your church or group runs a public egg hunt, sunrise service or Easter program, send us the link to your own announcement with the date, time, address and ages, and we will add it.
