Kim a friend of Mia arrive with his mother who never let her to drive long distances, Kim’s mother is very emotional, they are Jewish, at summers Kim goes to a summer camp this summer camp is very boring and she calls that camp as Torah Whore.

The Service in which I attended was at the Holy Cross Perish in San Jose off Jackson street and North 12th Street at 6:00pm. It was still day time so I was able to get a good glimpse of the area in which the church was in. We parked across the street from a park that was called Backesto Park where it seemed that some people from the church would wait there until the service would start, because when I was waiting outside the church I was able to look over at the park and noticed a good amount of people coming toward the church. The experience was pretty interesting. I am a Latino and it was still a bit hard to understand what the priest was saying. The church seemed to look like a regular one with rows of benches

When my friend and I first got to the church, we were surprised to see that it looked like an ordinary house. We greeted everyone on the main floor

The people there were very welcoming and kind. The shook every single person hand and greeted them genially when they walked in. As I sat down, there was a countdown till when it begins. There were seats all around and in the center they had a stage, where there were people preparing to sing. They began their ceremony exactly at 8:30 with singing 3 songs. When we sang, everyone stood up for respect. Followed by that, the pastor recited a prayer with everyone to make this week better than the last. He welcomed everyone, including the people who are new, and told them more about what they do at Kennedy Road Tabernacle Church. The priest then talked about the Provision of Vision from the bible. There was a sheet that was handed out so as you listen you fill in the blanks. ( I attached the sheet I completed) I thought this was very convenient because it makes you pay attention and have something to do other than sitting down. He was reading about the Provision of the Vision and relating it to financial difficulties and how God is always there for you. After, I talked to one priest to get a better background of Christianity. I related what he said to the reading of ‘Christianity’ we did earlier in September. When he spoke to me, he said that they believe in one god, but that includes the father, son, holy spirit, He said Jesus died for us on a cross for the sins of the

The piece that most impacted me this week was “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards. He portrayed real honesty, reliance on God, and devotion for God. First off, Jonathan Edwards’ honesty really touched me. I have never heard a sermon describing Hell as the main topic. Usually when Christians mention Hell in a secular setting, they are called haters or hypocrites, so they, we, have stopped talking about it.

After meeting Pastor Bobby Guerra I found to be very comfortable with the people and atmosphere. I kept going to service on a consistent base along with working and trying to get my life back on track that was one of the biggest struggles I’ve experienced only because I should have gotten it a long time ago and now trying to get it all back. I had got so comfortable with the church when they had invited me to their park outreaches for the community I was hesitant to go because I didn’t know if I was done with the past and the wreckage had haunted me.

The message is a parable that Jesus taught about the banquet of Heaven. Many people were invited, but they rejected with excuses, they all focused on what have and do not know the blessing of this banquet. Jesus is teaching about salvation with this parable. The people seem they are rich, work diligently and happy with their marriage, however they lose the chance of being saved by being ignoring the invitation of salvation.

While we were approaching, I could hear them singing. I was so excited, my heart rated so fast. We went there. No cross, just a plain building and above the door a sign in big white letters “City Church Chicago”. We went in. I was speechless and I couldn’t keep my mouth closed. There were kids, young people, old people, colored people, white people. Everybody was there and everybody was accepted the way he/she is. That was my first time in a different church. They sang a song. It was mind blowing. I was holding my tears. After the song, pastor started preaching. I loved that the pastor was explaining bible quotes on real life situations, it was like an motivational speech. He ask us to stand up and sing a song with him. I didn’t know the lyrics, but that’s not the problem. They have karaoke! So we sang, it was amazing. I really enjoyed

Brown v. Renter's Choice, Inc., 55 F.Supp.2d 788, 795 (N.D.Ohio 1999) (quoting Nix v. WLCY Radio/Rahall Communications, 738 F.2d 1181, 1187 (11th Cir.1984)). In this case, Title VII does not cover the accommodation request. The convention is a learning opportunity, not an exercise of his ability to practice his faith. The Courts have looked at accommodations under the religious accommodations provisions. Common illustrations are request to have a particular religious holiday, or refraining from working on the Sabbath, or wearing religious garb. C fails to reach the threshold that attendance at a seminar hosted by your faith, is a protected action or exercise of practicing one’s

I think the service was a very good eye opener because I'm the type of person to try new things and like to experience other cultures and as well as religion. I think it's a big deal knowing that I went to this service with shyness but also facing my fears because at the end of the day I know I tried something new even when I hesitated to go in the church by myself. Not only did I feel like I was getting looks I thought I was actually gonna get told to leave just because he color of my skin and I don't know why I thought that but it was just a feeling I had since I had never been to a African American church before especially a baptist church. During the service I was actually feeling the energy that was going on in the room and it made me just want to shout like everybody else but I felt like it was my primary church in a strange way but I really enjoyed every minute of it regardless of what I thought at first when I walked in. After the service was done we had a prayer and he went to people who wanted to be prayed for and it was very at

Christianity is the religion based on the life, death and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, also known as the Christ or Messiah. Jesus was a Jewish teacher and prophet who lived in Palestine in the first century CE. He revealed himself to be the Son of God in fulfillment of Hebrew scripture, and taught that the Kingdom of God was imminent, bringing with it forgiveness and new life for all who believed. His claim to be the Messiah roused opposition from religious and political authorities and he was imprisoned and crucified. His followers believe that after his death, Jesus was resurrected before being taken up to heaven.

Monica asked everyone this “who loves Jesus christ every day of your life?”, and the room got loud and quickly filled up with cheer. After that she had us take our seats and get ready for prayer. After she prayed the worship team came up and we jumped up and worshiped. The last song was a slow steady song, I mainly paid attention to the words. At that moment I got teary eyed because those word where really powerful and really touched my heart because of the two deaths before and the word it said.

I remember while I went to school, my father babysat my toddler son, Jay. One night I came home to a flustered grandpa. "Diane, there is something wrong with Jay. He cried the whole time you were gone. That's not normal." My dad's words about my son hurt me, but I just filed them away in my memory.

In my second field experience, I’d decided to go to a Baptist church. However, I did not come from a religious background. Although I am not completely in the dark when it comes to religion I have learn about different religion through friends and books. Therefore, I thought this would be a great opportunity to finally experience a service and put my ignorance aside. Meaning the assumption and expectation I had of church service. Furthermore, it provided me the opportunity to challenge myself and my own biases I have towards going to church. Once I went to church I was surprise to see so many black people, for the first time since I moved too Greensburg, I was actual able to see a room overflowing with individual who looked just like me, my first emotion was excitement and enjoy. Some of my expectation, was something I have learned from my mother. My mother always told me that “black people churches last longer”, with this in mind I was prepare to be there for a long time. However, to my surprise it did not last as long as I’d expected it to. My overall experience, was warming, peaceful and positive.

Edgar Allen Poe is considered one of America’s most profound and introverted writers. He’s written many poems and short stories, all in which hold dark themes and grim imagery. “The Masque of the Red Death,” is considered one of Poe’s most symbolic works. His use of symbolism is strongly represented in the seven rooms he has written inside the mansion of the character Prince Prospero and of the figure known as Red Death. These representations lead to the theme ‘progression of life.’
