Beach Clean Up & Egg Hunt

Every 3rd Friday of the month, Justin Rudd and the Community Action Team organizes a 30 minute beach clean up at Belmont Shore. Today was an awesome time of "affecting" our community as hundreds of people showed up today to pick up trash!

A group of friends of mine from Open Door Ministries (in Long Beach) and Glory Tabernacle Christian Center (aka "The Tab")came out to serve the community together. It was so much fun!

Afterwards, hundreds of kids and adults gathered for an Easter egg hunt on the beach to find about 2,000 plastic eggs filled with candy, coins, dollar bills, tickets, and prizes. Looks like everyone had a blast!

After the beach clean up, we usually go to brunch together at Royal Cup (on 10th & Redondo here in LB) - an awesome coffee shop that serves panini sandwiches (among many other things). It was a great way for everyone to connect after serving the community together. Many of us got to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones.
