Mission Trip Reminders

Our Mission Trip to Seattle is only 3 days away!

Here are some last minute packing reminders:

• The places where we're working have dress codes: pants to the knee or lower (no shorts above the knee), t-shirts (no tank tops), and tennis shoes.
• The work we'll be doing probably won't be dirty work.
• The weather is supposed to be around 75 degrees while we're there.
• Don't forget to bring clothes appropriate for church.
• Don't forget to pack a bath towel and bedding.
• Remember that you'll be responsible for devotions one night, so please bring materials that will help you prepare.

Also, remember to bring money for souveniers, fast food stops (Wednesday lunch & dinner, Saturday lunch), snacks, etc. You are asked to buy a little souvenier(s) for your sponsors and send them a postcard. We'll buy postcards on Wednesday and send them off ASAP so they don't beat us home!

I haven't received permission slips from everyone, so please bring them on Wednesday if you still have copies. If you don't, I will have extra on Wednesday before we leave. You cannot participate if you don't have permission slips turned in.

Remember the change in time for Wednesday: Brunch at 10:45am and Prayer Send-off at 11:30am.

If you have any other questions, call or text Nick, Kate, or I!

See you Wednesday!
