A special note about clothing: This is a conservative church with an older
population. Please be extra conscious of the length of shorts. If it’s questionable,
just don’t send it. Also, there will be a lot of painting on this trip, please pack pants,
shorts that can get messed up – we’ll provide the shirts. Please put initials on the
shirt tags before they get packed.
Evangelism Training:
Many took part in the Franklin Graham crusade training. We are grateful for that. If
your discount doesn’t show up when you’re paying, let me know and we’ll take care
of it.
Also, there’s a great chance for some more training this Sunday night just after choir.
There’s a pool party at the home of Don and Laurie Jones that will also include a
refresher on the evangelism training we’ve done in the past.
Any medications can be given to Barbara Wills, our nurse, on the morning of
departure.
We will have encouragagrams at the dress rehearsal this Thursday, if you’d like to
write them a note to read on the trip (or multiple notes). Please label them with the
students name and we will collect them in the lobby on the morning of departure.
