Carolina Workcamp

We leave for Workcamp on Sunday after the 10:30 service. We will eat lunch somewhere in Summerville, then hit the road for Charlotte. We will be back around noon on Friday. Here is a packing list for the week:

For Work Please Wear:
- Work Clothes
- Modest, long shorts
- T-shirts
- Dress for hot weather, but don’t bring spaghetti strap tops or extremely loose clothing (they get caught on nails). Please, no Umbros (you can see up them when you’re on a ladder), dresses, or opened-toed shoes.
- Bible
- A heart to serve
Other helpful items:
·Sunscreen
·Sunglasses
·Work gloves
For the Evenings:
- Bring casual, comfortable clothes, as some of the activities at night will involve a good deal of walking

You will be staying with a host family, so please bring a small gift ($5-$10) as a way of showing gratitude for their hospitality.

Please do not bring the following:
- Any electronics (ipods, gameboys, dvd players, etc) you may, however, bring appropriate movies for us to watch as a group in the bus on the way up.
- Tobacco, alcohol, or drugs of any type
- A bad attitude

If you have any questions, leave them as comments to this blog.

See you Sunday!
