Dear 2011 SHBC Operation: Hope Front “A Day of Hope” Conference Attendee-
We are SO excited that you have decided to join us on Saturday, May 14th for our 2nd Annual Military Family Conference at Scotts Hill Baptist Church. This day is quickly approaching and we wanted to send you all the information you will need to know! Please read through all these details so you will know what to expect, especially if you have registered your children!
Saturday, May 14th:
Women’s Event: 10am-3pm
Men’s Event: 10am-11:30am
Childcare: 10am-3pm
Directions:
Scotts Hill is located at 185 Scotts Hill Loop Rd. Wilmington, NC 28411.
From Jacksonville:
Take 17 South towards Wilmington. Just before the 40/17 split, you will see “Poplar Grove Plantation” on your left. Immediately after is a stop light (there is a restaurant on the corner, next to Poplar Grove) onto Scotts Hill Loop Rd. Turn left at the light onto Scotts Hill Loop Rd. The church will be located on your left. There should be a sign located at the stop light directing you.
Arrival:
If your children are registered for the event, please arrive at 9:30am to check them into the appropriate area. If you do not have to check in your children, you may arrive anytime between 9:30am-9:45am. See below for more information as to where children should go. If you arrive late to the event, come on in and find a seat after checking in your children in their appropriate areas! We will have someone near the door to give you a raffle ticket for door prizes.
Parking:
We ask that the first entrance parking lot between the sanctuary and the Family Life Center be used as an unloading zone. Please use this lot to park while you take your children into their appropriate areas. Use the main parking lot for the remainder of the day.
Children:
Children ages birth through 4 years old will be located in the nursery areas located in the main building. Take the first left entrance into Scotts Hill. You will see a large awning on your right on the back of the main sanctuary. If you go under the awning, you will see doors to the left and right. Above the doors are the ages of children that should be in each hall. Follow those signs for your child’s age. Parents of babies will be given a beeper to alert them in the event their child is inconsolable or the childcare workers need your assistance. Parents of older children will receive a wrist band with a number and the number will be announced to alert them in the event their child is inconsolable or the childcare workers need your assistance. Please label all of your child’s necessary items: diaper bag, bottles, etc. Please do not bring any peanut products. The day is long for little ones so be sure to pack any comfort items your child might need and be sure to label it. Children will be enjoying play time, crafts, movies and more depending on their age.
Children ages 5 years and up will be located in the Cross Point Center. This is the furthest building back and has a sign on the building. You will enter through the multiple set of doors on the right to check in your child. These children will enjoy our incredible youth center will a variety of things to do such as video games, basketball, and more. In addition, children may be playing outside, weather permitting, and doing field day like activities including face painting, relay races and more. Please make sure they wear tennis shoes and appropriate play clothes.
PLEASE LABEL ALL OF YOUR CHILD’S BELONGINGS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: BOTTLES, DIAPER BAGS, COMFORT ITEMS, ETC. PLEASE ALERT THE WORKERS IF YOUR CHILD HAS ANY ALLERGIES AND DO NOT BRING ANY PEANUT PRODUCTS INTO THE CHILDREN’S AREAS.
If you have a breastfeeding newborn and wish to keep your child with you in the conference area, you may do so. Please be respectful to those around you and step out in the event your child becomes a distraction to others. We will have an area set up in the women’s bathroom for breastfeeding.
If your husband is attending and he wishes to take your children home after he finishes at his event, this is fine! Please just be sure to write his name on all papers that you fill out with our workers and let them know that your children will be leaving after the men’s event.
Lunch/snack for Children:
McDonald’s of Surf City and Wilmington has graciously donated lunch for children ages 2 and up. They will either be serving chicken nuggets or hamburgers and apple dippers. We will serve lemonade as well. Children will not have a choice as it will depend on what is donated. If your child dislikes this menu, please bring a lunch for them.
We ask that you bring a lunch for children under the age of 2 years (23 months and below). This will ensure food is served in the manner that your child is able to eat it (cut up, etc.) and will help our childcare workers in feeding the smaller children. We will have a few extra meals in the event you forget to bring a lunch for your younger child, but we cannot guarantee we will have one for all who forget.
A small snack of goldfish (or something comparable) and water will be served in the afternoon. Again, please alert our childcare workers of any allergies. Older children may have popsicles.
Men’s Event:
The Men’s event will be located in the Family Life Center, the building directly behind the main sanctuary, on the Scotts Hill Campus from 10am-11:30am. Men will be enjoying a light breakfast, guest speaker COL Rich Juergens, door prizes and then for those who wish to, they may play basketball in our church’s gym.
Women’s Event:
The Women’s event will be located in the Cross Point Center Worship center from 10am-3pm. This is the farthest building back (which will also be where kids ages 5 and up will be) and is labeled. You will enter through the left set of double doors. Women will be enjoying a light breakfast, guest speaker Diana Juergens, games, door prizes, worship, and more.
Our prayer is that you are ready to be blessed! This day is a celebration of YOU and the sacrifices you make as a military member and as a military family! Thank you for your service and thank you for joining us next week. We look forward to what God has to say to us as military families! If you have any questions before the event, contact us at military@scottshill.org or call the church office, 910.686.9885. See you Saturday, May 14th!
In Him,
Operation: Hope Front
