Children's Ministries
You Gotta Know...
Supervision
- Parents must supervise children whenever they are not checked into a ministry. Please be sure your children are respecting people, the property and God in their behavior.
Special Needs and Food Allergies
- Your registration form is very important. Please be sure that you fill it out completely, indicating any physical impairments or learning needs that may need special attention. We want to work with you to provide the best experience possible for your child.
- Take special care to indicate food allergies on your registration form. These will be indicated on name tags and on IN slips you present to teachers. However, accidents can still occur. Please note outside classrooms the posted sign that indicates what snacks will be served during that class period. If your child may have an allergic reaction to it, please talk to the teacher about your concerns.
Illness and Well Child Procedures
- If your child has a runny nose with colored discharge, a fever, a persistent cough or an open blister or wound that looks infected, please keep your child at home and do not put them in ministry with other children. Also, if they have been exposed to any communicable disease, or if they have had a fever, cough or have thrown up within the last 24 hours, do not bring them to church until after the potential time of contagion has passed. If your child does come to church with any of the symptoms above, or if they begin to exhibit any of the symptoms above, they will be removed from ministry and you will be contacted and asked to pick up your child.
- With the onset of the H1N1 virus, Trinity is stepping up its practices with regard to sanitization of ministry areas. Hand sanitizers will also be consistently used in ministry settings. Please be sure to also be as vigilant in your home by teaching your child appropriate hand-washing (20 seconds with warm water and soap) and sneezing (into your sleeve) techniques.
- If your child does contract a communicable disease for which there are major concerns (e.g. H1N1, chicken pox, mumps, etc.), please contact the church office so that we may notify other parents of possible exposure of their children to the disease.
- Above all, do not panic about health concerns. God has given us wisdom to deal with these, and He is ultimately in control.
