Helen Ergen oversees the children’s ministry at Southbrook Church, 11010 W. Saint Martins Road, Franklin. For the past three years, the church has held a Special Friends Easter Egg Hunt for children with special needs.
The event was designed for children and caregivers who have autism, spectrum issues or mobility limitations, according to Jonathan Misirian, lead pastor and Franklin police chaplain. However, this year, concerns over the coronavirus pandemic forced the event’s cancellation.
