Sometimes to be relevant, it does not require technology. Being a pastor myself and volunteer police chaplain I get to engage in some pretty interesting conversation. If your church is like the one I pastor, our kid's ministry has a check-in system. The parents step up to the computer kiosk and click on their child's name and out pops a name tag that goes on their back. This is a great way for the teacher and helpers to know the kid's name, and it gives parents a number to watch for on our number box should their child need some attention.
In talking with people and considering the world we live in, it has caused us to change our system a bit. Due to the increase of pedophilles in our neighborhoods, legal people are suggesting that churches that have the last names of children on the name tags, to remove them. We now have the child's first name and the last name initial on their tags. This is one of those steps you can do to be relevant and show parents that you are always keeping a mindful eye on protecting our churches most valuable assets...our children!
