Dear 2009 Church Rebuilders and Families,
We will be leaving in just over a week! We have a group of 29: sixteen girls, nine boys, two men and two women. Greater Bethelpore Baptist Church in Alabama has already had two college rebuilding teams help them out in the last month, and they will be ready to greet us on 19 April. There will be a contractor on the site giving us some direction, so we should be well placed to give them a big boost with their project.
I am re-sending a packing list as a reminder:
- Work clothes, including sturdy foot wear
- Nice clothes for church
- $1-$5 for the offering at Sunday worship
- Sleeping bag, pillow, and camping mattress or pad (We will be sleeping on floors most of the time.)
- Towel, toiletries
- Bathing suit
- Insect repellent and sunscreen (important, it’s easy to burn)
- A water bottle: it will help save on bottled water if we can keep refilling these.
- Something warm like a fleece or sweater
- Money for about 7 meals on the road (normally fast food stops)
- A work belt with a few basic tools: measuring tape, utility knife, pencils, hammer, work gloves.
- (Optional tools if you have them and can bring them: drill, staple gun, chalk line, saws, other tools)
- Fun things like musical instruments, games, cards, frisbees.
- Ipods for personal listening.
- DVD’s to watch on the bus. I have absolute veto power here!
We ask that people not bring laptops.
Remember that our meeting time and place is 7:30AM on Friday, 17 April, in the WEST LEBANON McDONALD’S PARKING LOT.
Remember this link for information and checking in on us during the week:

Please feel free to call me or e-ail me with more questions. I may think of other reminders as we get closer.
See you soon!
Mary
