Packing List for Denver
PLEASE PACK AS LIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE!
Clothes
We will go to church on Sunday, then we will spend some time at the houses so bring decent clothes for those things (not fancy, just something besides your work clothes)
We will also be doing a lot of service work, so bring clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty/working in
Be prepared for any kind of weather (I recommend checking the forecast as we get closer) and lots of walking
Keep it appropriate 😉 (Probably not a lot of tank tops – stick to t-shirts and keep everything covered). Pay attention to what t-shirts you pack, make sure that they are appropriate.

Vision
We as a leadership team want you all to grow in relationship with one another and grow in your relationship with God. The hope is to spend our mornings and evening in devotion, togetherness, and prayer, so we can be prepared each day to serve Shiloh house with humble hearts. The children and people we will meet on this trip desperately need Jesus. We will do our best to allow the spirit of Jesus to shine through and around us. Us serving with Shiloh House will ask us to be flexible because plans might change. We will need to walk in grace for the organization we will be serving.
While we want you to die to your flesh during this week and be humble in service, we recognize that you’re human. It is not lost to us that it might be a challenging week. If at any point you grow overwhelmed by the work, the stories, interaction, or connection, please know there is grace for you to step back. A minute to breathe and rest can do wonders for a tired soul. Do not be afraid to ask for it.
What is your vision for this trip?
