Hello incredible team!
We often say that safety is our number one priority. We value the safety of our kids, parents, and volunteers throughout Sunday services.
In the past few years we've grown the security team to be more proactive in allowing the right people in the Family Life Ministries wing. This should only include certified volunteers (you) and parents with children under the age of 12 (that are checking their kids in).
The security team has noticed a few minor items that we could do to help them at their job and ultimately keep our kids safer.
1.) Identify yourself. When you arrive to serve on Sunday mornings please enter through the lobby security check point. The back door in the Family Life wing may not always have a security team member at the door to let you in. Once you get into the lobby please go to the security team member and identify yourself by your name and what area you are serving in.
The security team has your name on a list according to the Sunday and service you are serving in. It's extremely helpful to them if they don't have to ask you who you are and if you're serving while you're trying to get through the door.
So, simply put - please communicate with the security team by identifying yourself when you arrive to serve. Name and where you're serving should be enough.
2.) Badge Visibility. More and more parents are forgetting their stickers or simply not having them ready to show security. When we print off the security badges for parents we need to begin communicating to them, "Please have your badge visible when coming for Check Out."
This will help alleviate some of the unwanted traffic in the hallway and help the lines to move a little faster.
Overall the safety of our kids is most important. Both suggestions from the security team will help to make their job easier and keep our kids safer.
Thanks for all you do. We love you guys much and are glad to be on this journey with you!
