Moving away from the more theological content recently (which has been thought
provoking), I have a few more practical questions.

How do you handle administration of medications to children in your congregation
~ as an example, when they are here for several hours for VBS and a medication
needs to be administered?

Do you stock medications such as antibiotic cream, benadryl, tylenol or advil in
First Aid kits that the entire congregation has access to?

If you do, who administers these medications to children and do you have consent
to do so?

Thanks for any insights the group might be able to offer!

Peace of Christ above you, around you and within you,

Jill
