8th Annual Ski Trip

Registration materials for the 8th Annual PSD College Ministry Ski Trip should have arrived at your congregation this past week. We will again return to Mammoth Mountain and the Convict Lake Resort.

The Program
This is the 8th annual College Ministry Ski/Snowboard trip the Pacific Southwest District has offered to Young Adults across Southern California, Arizona and Nevada. The purpose is to get away from the busyness of life and enjoy God’s creation. January 3rd is mainly a travel day and time to relax in our two cabins. We will be at the ski lifts on the 4th and 5th from 9am to 4:30pm and enjoying the winter evenings back at the cabins. Each evening there will be a Bible Study and time for prayer and worship. We will leave the cabins by 10:30 on the 6th and eat lunch down the hill in Bishop.
