THRIVE On Mission - Packing Tips

Each person is allowed a Checked bag, a carry-on and a personal item. Checked bags need to be less than 50lbs. Please try to save some room to fit the extra outreach and construction items we need to pack.

Please check in with Caleb this Sunday the 19th after church and Tuesday the 21st after Thrive to pick up items to put in your checked bag! Siblings, please consider some team work in your packing to leave extra room in your checked bags!
