Penn Valley Youth

A Call to Die

Most of you are aware at this point that the Penn Valley Youth have started reading David Nasser's book "A Call to Die."  It is my intention to post regularly throughout this corporate journey and invite interaction via this blog on some of the issues and ideas raised in this book.  We are only two days in and I have already found myself challenged and encouraged as I consider what it means for me to accept Christ's call to come and Die.  I thought it might be appropriate as we get started to link you to some of the author's own words regarding his book.  So here you go. 

On a more practical note... how are you doing?  Everybody staying with it?  What have you been learning so far?  drop a post and let's get this conversation started.

Tips for Travel:

1. As we will have a full bus students are strongly encouraged to minimize their packing. In past years we have occasionally been tight on space. Many of you have also had a long walk to your dorms and should pack only the amount of personal items that you can carry by yourself in one trip. I would recommend one large suitcase and one or at most two smaller backpack sized items.

2. Mp3 Players and other small electronics are permitted on the bus, however these items are not permitted at Momentum. You will need to leave them packed away during the week.
*There will be a variety of activities planned for the trip and students are encouraged to enter in and avoid alienating themselves with their headphones.

3. Snacks and beveraged are permitted on the bus during travel. If you have any other questions regarding Travel or Momentum please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
