I, the undersigned, acknowledge that my child (or I if an adult) is voluntarily participating in the New City Church Vacation Bible School (VBS) from June 16-20, 2025.

**Media Release**
I grant permission for my child’s image, video, or likeness to be used in promotional materials, social media, and church publications related to New City Church’s VBS, without compensation. If I do not wish to allow this, I will notify the church in writing prior to the event.
