No sandals or flip flops will be allowed on the work sites.
Things Not to Bring
Please do not bring bad attitudes, knives guns, tobacco products, large radios, or anything else that is questionable. If you feel the need to ask, just don’t bring it. Please consider taking the challenge of leaving your cell phone and iPod/MP3 player at home. These things can be a distraction from a worshipful experience for you and others.
