They should match what we have already been given as edits but in case you missed a rehearsal, everything is included here.

Bethel Church, 14736 SW Bethel Lane, Vashon 98070 206-567-4255 (map)

 
Coming from the south heading north on the Vashon Island Hwy, turn left on SW Cove Rd. (1/2 mile past the town of Vashon). Go about a mile, then turn right on SW 115th Ave., stay on that road until it goes left and becomes 156th St. SW. Go to where that connects with SW 119th Ave. and turn right. Bethel Church is on the right side of the street at the end of 119th where it turns right at SW 148th St. Go in the first driveway. Sanctuary building is at south end of complex. 20-25 minutes from southend ferry dock.
 
Coming from the north heading south on the Vashon Island Highway, one can follow the same directions, going towards town and turning right on Cove Rd. 15-20 minutes from northend ferry dock.
 
Or, coming from the north heading south on the Vashon Island Highway and taking the winding road, shorter route, turn right onto Cedarhurst Rd. (at the John L. Scott real estate bldg) and stay on it (follow the solid yellow line) until reaching SW 148th where you turn left and go straight ahead to the Bethel Church. Sanctuary building is at south end of complex.12 minutes from northend ferry dock.

Karen Baer's,  23817 104th Ave SW (in Burton) (map)

At the four-way stop sign in Burton turn west (that's right if you're coming from town.)  Go up the hill a bit and take the first right.  Park on the road. Her phone number is 463-9427.

Craig and Susan Hanson's,  13405 108th Ave SW (map)

Heading north on the Island Highway, just past the Cedarhurst "Y"/John L Scott Real Estate office (about 50 feet north), and just before the Heights Water tanks, turn left (west) on SW133rd Street. 133rd goes in about 500 feet, turns left and becomes 108th Avenue SW.  The house is about 500 feet on the right.  Their mailbox is directly across the street from their driveway.  Please park on the street (look for all the cars).  If you need more help with directions, you can either call Barb at 567-5264 or Hansons at 567-4130.
 

Jeanne Dougherty's22815 105th Ave SW (map)

Take Vashon Hwy south past the Judd Creek Bridge and turn right (west) on 228th St. (turn left onto 228th if you’re coming from the south)  Turn left onto 105th Ave, which is not far up the hill and is opposite the Burton Skate Park.  We are the first house on the right after you turn into 105th.  DO NOT GO UP THE FIRST DRIVEWAY YOU COME TO.  Drive past the house and park by the garage. You come up a flight of stairs to the deck. The entrance to the house is a red front door at the top of the stairs.  For help with directions, call Jeanne at 463-1626.  (Consider parking on 228th.)

Charles Lovekin's,  24663 Vashon Hwy SW (map)

Exactly one mile from the center of bustling Burton on the up-hill side, across from the water.  If you are coming from the north end of the island and you reach Shawnee Rd, you have gone too far.  From the South end the drive is easier to spot, but both directions have the numbers in blue.
