Forms
Students 18+ Years Old on or before April 24
East Paris Baptist Church policy and Texas State Law requires all participants 18 years old or older to go through a background check and sexual abuse awareness training. This is a legal requirement! Any student 18 years or older that does not complete both steps before Sisterhood will be required to complete both before joining the group. Failure to complete both will result in the student being turned away. Please contact thomas@eastparis.org immediately if this applies to your student.
Info on Sisterhood
Where is Sisterhood taking place? What are host homes?
Sisterhood will primarily take place at East Paris Baptist Church. The girls will stay at host homes over night based on age. Host homes are homes owned by members of East Paris who have donated their homes to our students for the weekend. Each home will have at least 2-3 approved adult workers from East Paris. Decisions on where each group will stay will be made closer to the start date. All addresses and contact information will be given to parents at or before checkin.

Rules for The WKND
Phone Policy
- Students will not be permitted to have their phones or other technology during Sisterhood. (point and shoot cameras are allowed)
- Student phones will be taken up and put in a secure location at East Paris throughout Sisterhood.
- All leaders will have phones at all times and that contact information will be given to parents.
- We want our students to be free from distractions and temptations so they can fully focus on God and not be worried about everything else in the world. Not having their phones will allow students to be fully present and have a time they’re separated from the worries of the world.
Medication
All medication must be turned into adult leaders including ibuprofen, tylenol, etc. (which leader specified later).

Students who drive their own vehicles will NOT be permitted to drive after checking in. Students with vehicles will be asked to turn in their keys.
