AGREEMENT/SIGNATURE

Lynn Haven United Methodist Church requires compliance with rules and regulations, including the rules concerning conduct, dress and Christian lifestyle. These will be explained in the Team Covenant, which will be provided to accepted team members. The goal of this team is not to be perfect but to exemplify the kind of unity and servant hood found in Philippians 2:1-7 as well as grow in relationship with Jesus Christ. I agree to submit to the team leadership and abide by specific team expectations (i.e.: attending all team meetings, participating in team and individual fundraising, etc.) based on our role as servants of Christ and the cultural sensitivities of the host country. I understand that failure to conduct myself in an appropriate manner could result in my dismissal from the team, requiring me (or parents if under 18) to purchase airfare back to the US at my own expense. I understand that if accepted for this trip, I will participate voluntarily; I am completely responsible for my own health, safety and conduct while on this trip. I will not hold Lynn Haven UMC (LHUMC), its employees or the leaders of this trip responsible for any accident, injury, illness or loss of any kind which might result directly or indirectly from my participation in said trip, and hereby release and indemnify LHUMC, its employees and the leaders of this trip from any such accident, injury, illness or loss.
