Our FS Kids staff will welcome your child and give you a numbered tag.  Please keep this tag handy as it will be needed to pick up your child.  Children will only be released to parents/adults who show the proper tag!!

If your child needs you during the service, your tag number will appear on the screen in the auditorium.  If this occurs, please proceed to your child’s room.
