- In order to stream line the process of checking in your children with our new electronic check in system, we have key fobs with the Children's ministry logo on it. We are working to ensure that EVERY family in Children's ministry gets one. We kindly ask that when you do receive yours, please put it on your key ring. Every family assigned a key fob will get 3 of them (2 key fobs for your key ring, and one credit card looking card). These are just like your cards that you use at Giant and other stores. If you are a volunteer with children, you can check in this way and get your name tag. If you don't have children in Children's Ministry then you still need to go to a computer kiosk in the Children's ministry lobby and check in to get a name tag. We want all 4th-6th graders to now check in using a key fob. They still don't need a parent to check in and will not get a name tag but this is how we take attendance for Bible Class, Puppets, Improv team, etc.
- If you have your key fob, STOP what you are doing now and put your key fob on your key chain!!! The former tag system had assigned every child a number. If your child needed you while you were in the worship center, we would flash that number up on the LCD screens located up front on either side of the stage. Your child still has a number we can flash! It is the last 3 digits of your Key Fob number. So when you see a number flash, please check to make sure it isn't your child's by looking at your key fob. IF it is your child, please respond either to the Nursery desk or the Children's Ministry registration desk. If you know your child might need you during the course of the morning--please take a pager! That way we can find you quickly!
Key Fob FAQs
- If I need a pager what do I do? If you need a pager, please get a pager first and then check in. When you check-in, you can add the pager number. This way, the pager number can be printed on your child's tag.
- If I don't take a pager, how will you notify me if my child needs me? Everyone who has a key fob has a number on the back by the barcode. IF you are in the worship center, we will flash the last 3 digits of your barcode for you to come. If you think your child might need you that morning for whatever reason, please take a pager and we can page you while you are in Bible class. This way, Lisa and Ellyn don't have to open every classroom door to try and find you. We don't mind doing that but it is disruptive to the adult Bible classes.
- Why do I sometimes get 2 name tags and sometimes get one? You will get 2 name tags if you allow your child to come to both worship and Bible class of Children's ministry. Your child can wear both or one. You will also get a parent "claim check". This is for the safety of your child. If you only choose to come to one part of a Sunday then you will only get one child's tag and one parent "claim check". Should you drop the "claim check", it doesn't have your child's name and grade on their, if someone should pick it up. They can't claim a child whose name they don't know! This means, Mom and Dad, that you will have to tell the Guardian Angel the name of your child and their grade/age level. We are trying to keep to our vision of creating a safe and friendly children's ministry.
