		<title>Immersion Weekend 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now back from Spring Break, I once again reflecting on MCPC’s Immersion Weekend. The theme was pulled from our common text, “Living Without Enemies.”

A good portion of the book details vigils organized by Marcia Owen (one of the book’s authors) of the Religious Coalition for a Nonviolent Durham. These vigils are held for victims of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kids Say the Darndest Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since it is my last semester at Messiah and I have not yet completed all of my language requirements, I am taking the MCPC cross-cultural course. Part of the class requirement is to volunteer once a week in a local after school-care program. This week was my first week “in the field.” Walking into the [...]]]></description>

		<title>City of Individuals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having visited many cities, including Philadelphia, but never having lived in them, my time at MCPC has been a new experience. I feel that for those that have not grown up in an urban environment sometimes perceptions that all city dwellers are cold, and unfriendly arise. It is easy to see where these ideas might [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celebrating with the Ones I Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’re in the midst of Holiday Season, and while I’m excited (and enjoyed) celebrating with my personal family, there’s nothing like the Holidays with an MCPC family. This semester I had the ability to make friends with some wonderful people, and I’m sad to say I won’t be living with some of them again before [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Challenge to Immerse Yourself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
How do I know when I&#8217;ve had a good Immersion Weekend at MCPC? Spontaneity. This is something out current group of students consistently bring to our community. (Can it even be called spontaneity if it has become so consistent? I don&#8217;t know.) After our planned, delicious dinners in the city, we all decided to meet [...]]]></description>

		<title>One of those Weeks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure every can relate with me, but last week was just one of those weeks. Two exams, a paper, and a ton of reading to do. Alas, I made it through. I am alive and well, with a great weekend behind me.
I saw Temple&#8217;s spectacular production of Urinetown, which two of our lovely MCPC [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gaining a Sense of Place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m here for another semester in Philadelphia. If I didn&#8217;t return this semester, I would have left with memories of Philly as nothing more than semi-challenging classes, irritating photo assignments, and monotonous routine. This semester is my second chance to feel at home. Sure, I learned a lot about Philly and got to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Football for the Sport-less</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me please just start this post by saying, you don&#8217;t have to be &#8220;sporty&#8221; to get your Temple football on! Here at MCPC, we have an inside joke (and I&#8217;m outing it) about a guy who lives with us. We call him &#8220;Sports Jeff&#8221; simply because his addiction to sports is astonishing and possibly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to the City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a summer filled with nothing but corn fields, small towns with only one fast-food eatery, a gas station or two, and a small community bank that I call my workplace, I am ready for school again. I suppose most Messiah College students are back at a place much like where they spent their summer, [...]]]></description>
