How many chocolate eggs would it take to consider shaving your head into a Mohawk?
This is the very question that was asked of Pastor Dan at the Elim Pentecostal Church. The answer is a whopping 5,000.
Mohawk Night, as it’s being called, will be held on Wednesday, April 4 at 7 p.m. and to kick off the night Pastor Dan will have his head shaved into a Mohawk and then dyed pink.
“We wanted to something to do for Easter, so Pastor Dan came up with the idea to shave his hair into a Mohawk. I suggested a pink Mohawk,” said Pastor Nola. “It evolved into an egg-stravaganza, where people donated chocolate Easter Eggs. It’s gone crazy from there. We have over 5,000, but they keep pouring in,”
“Part of it is that we have family nights every Wednesday evening, so we thought it would be cool to have an Easter Egg hunt,” said Pastor Dan. “I had this idea that we could shave someone’s head. I said I would do it for 10,000 eggs, but Pastor Nola said 5,000. We went back and forth until I accidently blurted out 5,000 and she said ‘sold’.”
The chocolate eggs will be used for a massive Easter egg hunt throughout Elim Pentecostal Church (Central School) right after Pastor Dan’s hair is transformed.
“We’re going to distribute the eggs around the building, and it’s a huge building,” said Pastor Nola. “At 7 p.m. we’re going to do Pastor Dan’s hair and then the kids get to go all over the building and find eggs. Happy Easter!”
The building has several floors and roughly 20 classrooms that are perfect for hiding a large number of eggs. Pastor Nola explained there will be obvious eggs and quite a few more incognito ones to accommodate all ages.
The church has collected well over 5,000, but more are welcome to give the kids a fantastic Easter Egg hunt.
The hair shaving event and egg hunt is on Wednesday, April 4, starting at 7 p.m. in the Elim Pentecostal Church gym.
