April 2026


April 1st

Spring School Picture Retakes


April 1st – 2nd

Easter Week Celebrations and Egg Hunt

We’ll celebrate with festive decorations, Easter-themed crafts, and joyful egg hunts in the green space by the pavilion. Most importantly, we’ll learn about the death and resurrection of Christ and the true meaning of Easter. Each child brings a dozen prepackaged eggs, and classes may request one volunteer to help hide them for the fun!


April 3rd

Good Friday

No School


April 3rd – 5th

Good Friday & Easter Sunday @ Calvary Bethany Church

Join us for Holy Week at Bethany Church as we remember and rejoice in the hope we have in Jesus! Our Good Friday service will be a time of reflection and worship as we remember Christ’s sacrifice for us. Then on Easter Sunday, we’ll celebrate His victorious resurrection with joyful praise and a message of hope. We encourage Busy Bee families who don’t have a Church home to come experience the truth and joy of the Gospel with us this Easter!


April 4th

Busy Bee and Calvary Bethany Church invite you to a joyful Saturday Easter celebration filled with fun and fellowship! Enjoy Easter crafts, hear the Resurrection story, and hunt for eggs (ages 2-10). Don’t forget to bring a basket for your eggs!

Weather permitting, outdoor activities will follow. At 11:30, the pavilion will be open for a (bring your own) picnic lunch, and the playground will be available to young children until 12:30.

April 6th – 10th

Swap & Shop

8:45 am – 1:45 pm

Spring has sprung, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your home and bless others! Join us in the Fellowship Hall for our FREE Community Swap & Shop—a chance for families to exchange gently used clothes, books, toys, and more.

How It Works:

  • Drop off your items and place them on clearly labeled tables by category.
  • Browse anytime throughout the week to find new-to-you treasures.
  • No donation required to shop!

All leftover items after April 10 will be donated to Arc, Renewed Treasures, or Bemis Library to continue blessing others in our community.

Want to help? We’re looking for volunteers to keep the donations organized. Sign up below!

Let’s share, recycle, and support one another this spring!
