8 WHAT TO BRING! First, if you didn t notice the fine print on the first page: Men will be in big tents on the Church grounds, and use the Church restrooms. Shower facilities will be available at the Osborne Aquatic Center (don t worry about logistics, we ll get you there!). Women will have bunks in the Rectory, in their own room with private shower and toilet (sorry, guys!). Bring the following: Sleeping bag and pillow. If you don t have your own sleeping bag, let us know IN ADVANCE and we will have a clean one available for you to use. Guys, bring a foam pad or air mattress if you have one, to use in the tents. Again, we will have some foam pads available to borrow, if you don t have one. Casual clothes. Women should have a skirt or dress that they can wear in Church for the opening and closing molebens. Daytime temperatures will be mild to warm, evenings will be cooler, so bring a sweater, sweatshirt, jacket, etc.. Work clothes. Jeans or khakis are probably the most practical, but bring what you have just no shorts! (sorry, we ll be on Church grounds). Shoes or boots that cover the foot. It should be common sense that flip-flops or sandals are not a great choice for a construction site but we thought we d mention it, just in case. Athletic shoes are fine. Bring work gloves, if you have them we will also have gloves available on site. Since it s western Oregon in June, showers are possible, so if you have a rain jacket, bring it. Sun hat, sun screen, and sunglasses. Swimming suit and beach wear (for Tuesday evening at the pool, and for Thursday at the beach). Personal items, toiletries, Prayer Book, etc..
