I understand that every effort will be made to contact me before these actions are taken. I will not hold the trip leaders responsible, legally or otherwise, for their actions, so long as these actions do not involve gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the trip leaders or RFC. In an emergency, illness, injury, or accident which requires medical attention, I hereby authorize and consent to any examination, anesthetic, medical or surgical diagnosis rendered under the general or specific supervision of any licensed medical personnel on the staff of any licensed hospital.

PERMISSION SLIP FOR USE OF PG-RATED, PG-13, AND R-RATED MOVIES

Youth ministry goal is to help teenagers have a real-world relationship with God. That means we need to address real-world issues in our youth group, and we need your help to accomplish this. Through discussions that reveal either the gospels presence or absence in popular culture, we help young people develop an ability to think critically and faithfully about the messages the media presents. In turn, we encourage them to live their faith authentically at school, home, and church, and to engage the Holy Spirit’s discernment in their lives. As part of our youth ministry program, we will sometimes be using videos as discussion starters and for entertainment purposes. The movies may include PG-rated, PG-13, and some R-rated movies, such as The Passion of the Christ. R-rated movies with excessive profanity or obscene language or intense sexual situations will not be allowed. R-rated movies will be used only when we believe they offer powerful illustrations about life and/or faith. We will communicate clearly to our young people that the viewing of this movie is not an endorsement of the movie. We will voice this disclaimer as well for any PG or PG-13 movies that contain offensive material. If you understand and approve of our plan to occasionally use videos or video clips from R, PG-13 or PG-rated movies when we believe it’s appropriate, please indicate your support by signing below. MEDIA CONSENT/RELEASE RFC maintains a website on the World Wide Web and also maintains an active Facebook page. Occasionally, photos/videos of church members are “posted” on the website and Facebook page. We plan to photograph/record youth events that may include you or your child and seek your permission to publish photos of you or your child on our website and in our print publications at our discretion. By completing this section and signing, you are indicating your understanding, support and approval. I give my consent and permission for the taking of photographs and/or video of me or my child during RFC events and waive and/or sign any and all rights (including copyright) in such media to RFC. RFC, as the sole owners of such media, shall have the exclusive right to control and determine the use, display, performance, reproduction and dissemination of any such photographs and/or videos. I hereby grant permission to Restoration Fellowship Church, Strasburg, VA, to use the photographs and video tapes on its World Wide Web site, Facebook page or in other official church printed publications without further consideration. I acknowledge the church’s right to crop or treat the photograph and video at its discretion. I also acknowledge that the church may choose not to use me or my child’s photos and videos at this time, but may do so at its own discretion at a later date. I also understand that once me and my child’s image is posted on RFC’s website and Facebook page, the image can be downloaded by any computer user anywhere in the world. Therefore, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless from any claims the following: Restoration Fellowship Church, Strasburg, VA; and The Employees and Volunteers of Restoration Fellowship Church, Strasburg, VA RFC reserves the right to discontinue use of photos without notice. I represent and acknowledge that I have completely read and understand this document and all its terms and all matters referred to herein, and I signed voluntarily as my free act and deed, that I have had an ample opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel and that, by signing this document, I understand that I am relinquishing legal rights and remedies that may have otherwise been available to me. I understand that this Waiver and Release shall be constructed as broadly and inclusively as is permitted by applicable law and agree that if any portion of this document is held invalid, the remaining shall continue in full force and effect. To the extent the restriction of filing lawsuits is deemed unlawful, I agree to submit any Claims to a Christian conciliation/mediation organization for binding resolution. CAUTION: READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING. THIS IS A GENERAL RELEASE AND INDEMNIFCATION OF CLAIMS.
