Nashville Team Final Reminders

We are so excited to depart on Sunday for our high school mission trip to Nashville, TN. Here are a few final reminders to make sure your child has an awesome experience.

Schedule/Travel/$$ Reminders:

  • We will meet at the Chapel in the Student Ministries Worship Room on Sunday, July 6th at 8am! We plan to leave by 8:30am, and will not be able to wait for any late-comers. Please be sure to get there on time.
  • We plan to stop for lunch and dinner on the way TO and FROM Nashville. Please make sure your child has enough money for food on the way there and back. Students can also pack a lunch to eat on the way there, if they desire. There may be an opportunity to purchase souvenirs while in Nashville, so your child may want to bring money for that, as well.
Packing Reminders
  • Attached you will find the Checklist/Packing List from the final team meeting. Please make sure to use that as your child is packing for the trip.
  • Please note: some serving sites will require students to wear PANTS to be able to serve. Please make sure to pack a pair of pants, or your child will be unable to participate. The same can be said for CLOSED-TOE SHOES.
  • LONG SHORTS are also a requirement. Running shorts are NOT allowed at serving sites. If you are not wearing the appropriate attire, the CSM staff will ask you to change or not allow you to serve. For ladies in particular, please make sure to pack longer shorts (the closer to the knee, the better!). (If you are having trouble finding them, Lex just saw some for sale at Belk's. They're in the workout section in the back right for about $10 a pair.)
  • TANK TOPS are NOT allowed at any serving sites. Please just pack t-shirts for the trip, since those are always an appropriate option.
  • Other items to make sure you remember: a towel, a sleeping bag OR twin sheets, a bible, toiletries, and a water bottle.
  • Please try to pack LIGHT, as we will be taking 15-passenger vans without much cargo space. Try to limit your luggage to one medium-sized bag, a sleeping bag, and a small "carry on" bag for in the bus. 
If you have any questions, text Hawley (215-498-1928) or Lex (919-260-0719). We can't wait to see all God does in us and through us in Nashville!
