Troupe '08 was a great success! Bruce Chapman, PUC Campus Minister, Matthew Chapman, Megan Shank Beebe, current FSU students, and Sara Fairall, FSU '08 graduate, departed Tallahassee June 14, 2008. They continued to organize and plan interpretive presentations to share with Presbyterians en route to San Jose, California.
Travel was round-trip Amtrak rail passenger service via New Orleans, LA and Los Angeles, CA with overnights at Occidental College in Los Angeles and at San Jose University. The group returned to Tallahassee Sunday, June 29.
Successful candidate criteria included ability to interpret Presbyterian campus ministry in various settings based upon personal involvement in campus ministry. Troupe '08 is a mission outreach and evangelism initiative.
