Q & A
· What does “Go
Imagine that you have 2 colors… RED and YELLOW.
When you take the color of family (RED, representing the heart) and the color of the church (YELLOW, representing the light of Christ) and combine them, you get a more vibrant color…
We believe that when the church and the family combine influences, together they will have a greater impact on the next generation. At our “Go Orange!” summer event, we will be providing a new way for families and the church to partner together.

· Why did Eastridge decide to do a family event in the summer?
It has always been our desire in Children’s Ministry to develop a partnership between home and church and be more effective in impacting the heart of a child for Christ. We want the “Go Orange!” experience to empower parents to lead their kids’ spiritual growth and provide resources to do so.
· What is a “Family” service?
It is an upbeat environment where learning about faith and character is fun and relevant! The shared experience will enable families to continue to communicate, teach and lead throughout the week. That’s how the color “
· What can I expect?
During Family Service, families worship together through various forms of media such as drama, music and video… forms that today’s families understand. Also, The “WORD” segment focuses on the Bible for a specific application from the virtue being taught.
· What will be taught?
The kids will learn about the "Secret Service". Your child will be recruited as a secret agent and go through agent training in preparation for a secret mission. Families will be learing all about lending a hand to help someone else. That's what service is all about!
· Who can come to the Family Service?
“Go Orange!” is specifically designed for kids and their parents. However, we aren’t exclusive! You are welcome to join us even if you don’t fit into one of those categories!
· What about summer
All of our summer camps will be in June. Since we have moved our “Go Orange!” program to July, our middle and high school students will be available to volunteer and have fun too!
· What about my younger kids?
“Go Orange!”is specifically written for elementary age children and their parents. Families who would like to bring their preschoolers (3 yrs. to Pre-K) may do so as long as the younger children sit with their parents. Our elementary kids, however, will have reserved seating on the floor in front of the stage!
· Can child(ren) come to Family Service without a parent or caregiver?
The Family Service is designed as a shared experience for families, so parents are encouraged to attend on Sunday and Wednesday evenings.
· How can I register my child or volunteer for this event?
If your child is entering K-5th grade this Fall, please fill out a registration form. They will be available in E-town, the church office or at the doors on July 12-13. You only need to register your child if they will be attending traditional VBS on Monday, July 12 and Tuesday, July 13.
