HS Washington DC Team - Final Reminders and Packing List

Hi DC Team!

Our group departs in 3 days! We hope you are all feeling prepared and excited. I've copied below the packing list as a final reminder. Remember, the luggage space in the vans is pretty tight, so try not to overpack! Important things not to forget are: sleeping bag and/or twin sheets, toiletries, towel, and long pants.

We will depart from the Chapel after the 11am service (estimated departure time is 1pm). Please bring a bagged lunch for the ride up, as we will NOT be stopping for dinner! Please bring this with you to church, as the parking lot gets very full, and you may not be able to run to Subway or McDonald's after our service and make it back in time for our departure! You will also need money for fast food on the ride home.

If you have any questions before the trip, feel free to contact Alexis on her cell phone at 919-260-0719. We will send text updates on the way home to update you on our estimated arrival at the Chapel. If you have not done so already, please subscribe to these text updates by sending a text to the number "41411" with the word "dcparent" in the message section. You will receive a confirmation text back if you submit your text successfully.

In case of emergency while we are on the trip, please contact Alexis or Travis Simone (757-650-9120).

We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in DC!
