Easter Egg Hunt: Graniteville Baptist Church hosts its Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday at 11:45 a.m. following Palm Sunday service. Donations of candy-filled eggs are appreciated — especially if they're filled with mini Reese's cups (my favorite).

Indoor Triathlon: After all that eating and candy, you may need a serious workout — and the Cranston YMCA has just the thing: an Indoor Triathlon, scheduled for Sunday at 3 p.m. Competitors swim, bike, and run for 20 minutes each; highest total distance (as measured in yards) wins the contest.
