CONTACT US | Include your child's medical information at registration, and also contact Jennifer Nunamaker at jennifer_nunamaker@fbctaylor.org to talk through how to best serve your child. Common situations might include severe allergies, medical conditions to be aware of, scenarios where a group setting might prevent your child from being successful, etc.
PRE-REGISTERED KIDS | Between 8:30 and 9am each day, pre-registered kids can be dropped off with a greeter under the front awning. Grab a hanging, pick-up sign at that time if you don't have one yet!
NEW REGISTRATIONS | Between 8:30 and 9am, park and walk your kids up to the Registration table at the front of the building. Help us make sure we have contact and medical info squared away before leaving, please!
PICK UP | The pick up line will open at 12pm each day. The pick up line will begin moving at 12pm and is typically completely done by 12:50pm. Things to know:
1) Please have your pick up sign hanging from your rearview mirror with BIG, clear handwriting. Ask a pick-up line volunteer if you need a sign.
2) Follow the signs around the back of the building and please stay in your car. You might even be lucky enough to spin the Prize Wheel while you wait!
3) You will be handed bagged lunches for the # of kids you request.
4) You will be given a newsletter from the day giving you insights into your kid's day.
THE RULE | While we want all kids to enjoy and be a part of the whole VBS week, but we understand conflicts come up! Just let us know which days to expect your kiddo by contacting Jennifer Nunamaker at jennifer_nunamaker@fbctaylor.org.
Tshirts will be passed out during a rotation on Day 1 (Monday). If your child's first day to attend is not Monday, stop by the registration table for more information!
VOLUNTEERS
We will place volunteers based on their requests as best we can. Jennifer takes account of requested areas on registration and prays over all the placements. Flexibility will likely be needed in multiple areas as a valued VBS Volunteer!
Yep. We know it's a sacrifice to be a VBS volunteer, and we must have all of you there on Sunday, June 2nd at 6pm. We have it all prepared for you and will be done in an hour or less! Plus, this is when you get your nifty swag like VBS shirts!
All volunteers have to complete Ministry Safe training and have a background check done, regardless of age. Both of these items are handled over email. When you register as a volunteer, you will be emailed with further information on completing these requirements.
