Plumstead Christian School, with the help of Educational Travel Adventures, is looking for people within or connected to our PCS community for an exciting trip of a life time. Head of School, Patrick Fitzpatrick, and history teacher, Jim Zeldenrust, will be leading the trip and weaving interesting historical, cultural, and Biblical references into the fabric of the tour. Prepare to be challenged and inspired by the breathtaking beauty of Greek geography and culture, the succulent tastes of Greek foods, and the rich Biblical history that will dramatically inform how you read and understand much of the New Testament.
Current students may choose to earn credit - .25 credit courses in history, Bible, or art are available with manageable pre-trip assignments, an assignment to be fulfilled while on the trip, and a post-assignment. Details for earning credit is forthcoming.
A TRIP OF A LIFETIME!
Journey where the Apostle Paul preached in the streets of Corinth or proclaimed the true identity of "The Unknown God" to the Athenians on Mars Hill, where the Apostle John was exiled and wrote the book of Revelation, and where young Timothy served as an itinerant pastor in the prosperous port city of Ephesus, enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Santorini and Mykonos, travel to the Greek Isles in the comfort of a cruise liner, enjoy the delicious Greek cuisine and shop in the Plaka.
