ATLANTA — Hundreds of children and adults gathered together in the Forest Cove Apartments in southeast Atlanta for an Easter celebration.
The Summit in Park II event was sponsored by the Summit on Violence committee, which is part of Faith in Action, St. Andrew Catholic Church Knights of Columbus, and supporting churches and ministries around Atlanta.
Children enjoyed a bounce house, face painting and a thrilling Easter egg hunt. In addition, a raffle was held for donated toys, and bicycles. Volunteer organizers also distributed 50 donated hams, and grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for everyone, backed by inspirational and gospel music from a DJ.
