Here are some frequently asked questions that will help you prepare for Fallout @ Farrington:
Q: What is the latest that I can register online?
A: You have through 11pm Thursday November 10 to register online at www.nehbc.com/fallout.
Q: Can I register at the door on Friday?
A: Yes. However, the cost for registering at the door is $75 instead of $70 if you register online.We will only accept cash or checks made out to NEHBC if you register Friday at check-in. You still need to bring the Thanksgiving Meal Box as well.
Q: What do I need to bring to Fallout?
A: Everything you need to bring for the weekend is listed on the bottom of the participate permission form that must be signed and turned in at registration Friday night. This form is available at www.nehbc.com/fallout.
Q: What items are needed for the Thanksgiving Food Box?
A: The shopping list is available at www.nehbc.com/fallout. You need to get all the items on the list so that we can provide a full meal for a needy family during Thanksgiving. The total cost for the meal box is under $15 depending on where you shop. Students can also go door to door in their communities to ask neighbors for the items on the list.
Q: Are students meeting at NEHBC Friday night?
A: No. Parents will drop students off at Farrington Mission at 7pm Friday November 11th. Directions are available at www.nehbc.com/fallout
Q: Do I need to pick my student up at Farrington on Sunday morning?
A: No. Students will be picked up at NEHBC at 11:45am following our 10:30am worship service. Our youth workers will be transporting students back to the church Sunday morning. These workers have submitted to and been cleared through background checks.
Q: What if my teen is driving to Fallout?
A: Teens who will be driving to Fallout will park inside the gate on the north side of the mission. Vehicles will be locked inside the gate for the weekend and they will not be allowed to drive their cars until they are dismissed to come to NEHBC on Sunday morning. They cannot transport any other teens unless those teens arrived with them Friday night. Teens who drive will not be allowed to leave for any reason unless me or our staff is contacted by a parent who gives permission for the teen to leave.
Q: What if there is an emergency that I need to get in touch with my teen about during Fallout?
A: You can call or text me anytime. If you would like my cell phone number send me an email request and I will be glad to give it to you: twheeless@nehbc.com
Q: Can my teen bring a cell phone or other electronic items (ipods, etc.)?
A: Teens can bring cell phones to communicate with parents if necessary. As for other electronic devices, we want teens to leave them at home for the weekend. Fallout is a time for our teens to slow down and examine where they stand with Christ. The less distractions the better. If it is determined that a cell phone or some other device is distracting from worship, service, bible study, or if it keeps a teen from engaging with the group, that device will be taken up and returned at the end of Fallout.
Q: Does my teen need to bring any extra money with them to Fallout?
A: That is up to you. If they want to stop by a convenient store for a soda while out in the community on Saturday they will need to bring a few dollars. Also, our worship leader, David Gentiles, will be selling his CDs and a few other items from his ministry and teens will need to bring extra money to purchase those items.
