Thank-you for registering your children for Maker Fun Factory VBS  at Green Pines Baptist Church. We are gearing up for a fantastic week of Bible Adventures, Games, Crafts, Mission Projects, Music and Snacks as we learn about our Creator and His awesome CREATION. We are built for a purpose!  We are working now to make this a great VBS for all of our families and their friends. Please note a few changes to our program this Summer:

1. This year we will be having 2 sessions of VBS, Preschool (daytime) and Elementary (evening).
2. There will be a website to register for Tinker Tots (Preschool VBS) and a separate website to register for Maker Fun Factory VBS (Elementary). 
3. During your first day/evening VBS drop-off, each child/parent will be given a matching Family Code. Each day/evening during pick-up your child’s crew leaders will be checking codes before releasing children.  The safety of your children is of great importance to us. We appreciate your participation with this procedure.

4. Dismissal after Closing Assembly/Preschool & Elementary: Parents, siblings and loved ones are welcome to join us as we meet back together in the Worship Center for Closing Assembly after each day/night of VBS:Preschool Closing will begin around 11:45am each morning (MTW) and Elementary Closing will begin around 8:05pm each evening (SMTW)  Closing Assembly in our Worship Center is an exciting time of music, skits and daily picture slideshows! Our music is upbeat and even our parents love to join this sing along!

5. Elementary VBS: After Closing Assembly, your child’s crews will be dismissed and will be assembled outside in our courtyard. Please help us out by allowing our crew leaders to assist our crews outside, in their lines, before approaching them for pick-up. After all of our crews are dismissed, and they have assembled outside in their designated areas, we will then dismiss parents to proceed to their child’s crew to continue with pick-up procedure. It is at this time that your child’s crew leader will check Family Codes. Please keep your Family Code along with the name of your child’s crew with you during pick-up, to help this transition be smooth and efficient. As we dismiss our crews from the Worship Center, we ask that parents remain seated and leave access to the aisle and the doors, so that our Crew Leaders can assist our children when taking them outside. We have these procedures in place to insure the safety our children and our volunteers!

6. Preschool VBS Tinker Tots: Children will remain in the Worship Center after the Closing Ceremony. Parents will walk down the aisle to pick them up. Crew Leaders will check family codes at this time.

7. If you child has any food allergies or sensitivities, please check our snack list each day at our registration table.  If you have cause for concern, please see a VBS Volunteer or contact me directly.

Please do not hesitate to call me or send me an email, if you have any questions or concerns.
