Easter Challenge
Hi Lauren!! Last week, you mentioned sending a challenge out to your families, reciting the Gospel Story! How did that go? Would you still be willing to share the challenge you sent to parents and also the motions to the Gospel Story for Preschool and Elementary? Thank you so much!

Question about check out / pick up
We use Planning Center and name tags, check-in, etc. works great for check-in. But, tactically, how do folks do their "check outs" of each classroom when parents come to pick up? We have 4 classrooms and parents come for pick up before the service ends right before communion (so parents are trying to quickly pick up the kids to get everyone back into the service). We are a smaller church so our volunteers rotate weekly (most of the time serving ~once a month). Do you have parents show their sticker? Do you have kids line up and call them only after sticker identification? Do they turn them in? Very curious about how to make our checkout process of each classroom efficient but also appropriately safe.

We use PC and have a similar set up to you, with rotating teachers, etc! We moved to the Planning Center iPad roster 2 years ago and have loved it. So, each of our classes has an iPad. Once a child checks in and gets stickers in our Check In Lobby, they walk to class where our teacher checks them off on the iPad roster. When parents arrive to pick up, we check them out via iPad and parents show us their sticker (which they have 1 per family) or you can use the iPad to scan the sticker. There is info on the Planning Center site that explains it way better than I am! :) https://pcocheck-ins.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4411057815323-New-Confirm-Your-Check-Ins-on-a-Roster

Hi Everyone! My name is Kristin. I’ve served as the Kids Ministry Director at The Oaks Community Church in Middletown, OH since 2010! I volunteered for 3 years (while full-time in the fashion industry, which is what my degree is in) before I came on staff! My husband and I have been married for 8 years and have two sons who are 2 and almost 6. In my free time, I love to I’m turning 40 this month and am way too excited to spend the month spending time with people I love on different adventures! ❤️ Unfortunately, I’ll be on a trip for Week 1 of the Cohort, but looking forward to connecting and learning alongside all of you!
