This painting is a creation of He Qi. According to Far Eastern Economic Review, "Today, He Qi ranks as arguably China's most internationally sought after contemporary Christian artist." This picture is entitled "Calling the Disciples." His brilliant, colorful and highly contemporary paintings emerge unmistakably from ongoing Chinese contexts. http://www.heqiarts.com/

PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES and RELEASE FORM

2006-05-07T07:31:00.000-06:00

Contents:
A. Participation Guidelines

Every group has guidelines, so here are ours:

1. All participants under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian (not just a neighbor or friend) in order to attend.

2. Due to prohibitive insurance costs, all participants must sign a waiver releasing InterFACE Ministries, Inc. and participating local churches, groups and individuals from all liability due to injury, loss, or damage to person or property as a result of participation in the event.

3. The use of private vehicles to follow behind the transportation provided is not allowed in order to enable a smooth, safe, and fast trip for all involved, as well as to enhance the fun of the activity. (Only exceptions are by prior permission from activity organizer and only under extreme circumstances.)

4. All parents with children less than 40 pounds and less than 4 years of age must bring safety-approved car seats for those children. Children must always travel properly strapped into the car seat as required by Colorado State Law and for the safety of the children.

Thanks for taking time to read the guidelines,

Terry and Trudy

B. Explanation of Release Form:
Before attending any trip or event, each adult, (and a parent for each child) needs to sign a “release of liability” statement (and bring it to the event) that says that the person(s) signing will not hold the churches or the organizations making the trip (or event) possible to be liable in case of any kind of accident. Obviously, we are not planning to have an accident, or a car wreck, but without releasing all the groups involved, the insurance rates for the churches and organizations (including InterFACE) would be so high that we would have to charge a huge price per person in order to make events possible. Signing the “liability waver does not mean that you can not use your own medical insurance in case of injury, just that you will not expect any church, organization or any of their representatives to pay for the injuries. See release form below.

In addition to bringing your release form and giving it to the trip organizer on the day of the event, (please do not e-mail it) we also need every person who is 18 years of age or older to bring some form of picture identification so we can verify that each person's name and signature matches the information on the release form (is it no wonder that lawyers in the U.S. today are so wealthy)? Thanks so much for your cooperation with this matter.

Please feel free to contact us about any questions you have at 303-279-0165 or Terry-Trudy@comcast.net
