Church Observation Paper

Last night at Northridge high school the Newark Catholic Green Wave rolled in Johnstown looking to sing the hometown Northridge Vikings. So far this season for Newark Catholic it has been a very up and down season, where injuries have hurt this team but caused the coaching staff to build depth and for the Vikings it has been a season that have seen get a win over a,5-4 Minford team and posting two other wins.

Church of the Holy Sepulchre is also known as the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre and the Church of the Resurrection (Orthodox Christians). Originally identified as being outside the settlement of Calvary, it is located in the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel and is considered one of the holiest sites in the world, as well as being a central destination for Christian pilgrims. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was originally built by the Roman Emperor Constantine (272-337) in 330 CE upon the site of a Roman temple. It has since been controlled by Arab rulers, reclaimed by Christian crusaders, repeatedly ruined by fires and conquests, and long been subject to regional religious and political tensions. The Holy Sepulchre is a central Church in

I decided for my social observation the mall would be a good place to start. I came there on a Friday evening when there should be plenty of people to watch. I also sat in the Barnes and Noble café after that to observe. I expected to see a lot of people shopping and conversing. A few things did stand out to me within the few hours I was there. Some things I didn’t expect to see. We are expected to behave a certain way in public determined by our culture as to what is acceptable. Some people stay well within the lines while some might stray outside the norms but never too far typically. Usually the ones to travel to the extremes are adolescents and teenagers. This is what I observed.

It was a warm and sunny day. The bleachers were filled with people tentatively watching and cheering on the athletes. I sat anxiously chewing on my nails, awaiting the result of the 3rd down. I watched as my favorite athlete caught the ball and began running down the sideline. I jumped up on my feet screaming at the top of my lungs "Go, Go, Go". He ran past the 50 yard line. My heart began beating so fast, I thought it was going to jump out of my chest and land on my lap. Then he ran down the 40 yard line. My eyes started to sting because I refused to blink and miss one second. 30. My hands started trembling anxiously. 20. I started to feel the excitement bubble in the pit of stomach. 10. My breathing started getting heavier. TOUCHDOWN!!!!! The athlete spiked the ball and began doing a victory dance. The crowd went absolutely wild. I was so ecstatic, I started to jump up and down.

Walter had been sitting in back left corner of the Sun City Catholic Church for what felt like far too long. It was a glorious spring day outside, with temperatures peaking a comfortable twenty-two degrees celsius. Meanwhile, as Walter attempted to unstick his dress shirt from his perspiring back, he was convinced that the temperature inside the church was upwards of thirty degrees. Just as Walter was wondering whether he could get sunburnt from the light pouring in from the church's high, arched windows, the organ player began to play. There was a great chorus of rustling and sighs of relief as the entire church stood up and swiveled towards the door. After a moment, the door opened with a creak and a older man escorting a white circus tent

Pastor used many stories and examples to convince the congregation to agree with his message on faith tested. Pastor also used other scriptures as evidence to support his message • Pathos: arguments that appeal to the emotions. Pastors speaks with confidence and have the ability to control the audience with using comedy. As a speaker, Pastor has mastered the skill of tapping positive emotion, which allows the congregation to relax and enjoy the message. Write your own code of ethics for public speaking.

Ever since I was six years old, the year I was baptized, I have been on fire for the Lord. I attended a Christian school for eight years and have always been very involved at my church. My first experience outside of my “Christian bubble” was when I went to a public high school. For the first time in my life, I was out of my comfort zone. Being at a public school challenged my faith, strengthened my leadership skills, and forced me to branch out and meet people I would have never encountered otherwise. However, even though being at a public school helped strengthen my faith in ways I would have never guessed, I believe attending a Christian university—like Liberty—is the best choice to further my education. Going to college is new and exciting, but it can also be a demanding and intimidating experience. Being so far away from home, in a different environment,

I would definitely say that Pastor Dave Galbraith was a credible speaker. He went to Northwestern University and received a degree in religious studies, and has since been a pastor for many years. He also came out of retirement to become a pastor again, as he enjoyed it so much, and you could get the sense that he was a trustworthy guy to listen to. He was very effective in his speaking, and you could tell he reviewed the material ahead of time. You could tell that he had practiced, and he used very little fillers such as “uhs” or “ums”. He definitely showed his competence by citing the Bible and using presentational aids. Pastor Dave showed dynamism through the use of enthusiasm in his voice as he quoted the Old Testament, and laughed and smiled as he presented. His energetic movement around the podium/stage and his exaggerated hand gestures helped to hold the attention of the audience. (C9)

To prepare churches for the challenges of pastoral searches, I recently introduced a fictitious congregation named “St. Barnabas Lutheran Church.” Readers provided a good deal of affirmation for the post, but they also wanted to know how to improve the call process. We go back to St. Barnabas today to start answering that question.

My guests grew tired of all of the extravagant halls and small entertainment I had set up for them. Wishing to keep my guests pleased, I threw a masque of great magnificence. I gave my guests tasteful, yet grotesque costumes designed by my own glorious hand and an utterly bizarre ball environment. Within my abbey, I created seven rooms of many hues lit by only a fire’s gleam outside of a corresponding shade stained glass window. The last room, the seventh, I believe, was the most peculiar. I had devised an atmosphere encompassing every shade of black; however, the windows reminded all that entered of the terror raging outside: the crimson, terrific hue of blood as the lightness of the fire could not seep through the darkness of the color of

People of the church, such as the elders, greeters, pastor, and ushers, were walking around greeting and conversing with the attendees as we waited for the service to begin. We made our way to the main chapel as the music had started to begin. The first thing I noticed as I walked into the main chapel were the three projector screens hanging from the ceiling. Also hanging from the ceiling were rows of studio lights and spot lights pointing towards

This week as my partner Josie and I arrived at Free Church, we took notice of where the impressively large building is located. The church happens to be positioned within walking distance of numerous apartment complexes, while also being within close proximity to the 405 Freeway and Diamond Jamboree a very popular place to shop and eat. This central location makes the Free Church space accessible to a lot of people who live throughout Irvine. Additionally, the outside of the church is wall to ceiling glass, and its unusual architecture makes the Church stand out when driving past it. Also, the windows allow for a lot of natural light to filter into the space, and to give those on the inside a fantastic view of the surrounding area of Irvine.

My practicum took place on September 7,2016 from nine thirty to ten thirty. The practicum took place at Impact Early College High School in Baytown. The class I observed was Ms. Nguyen’s class of juniors and seniors that contained twenty students, seven boys and thirteen girls. The class appeared to be alert and ready to learn. Since this was their second period class they already had enough time to shake off their fatigue. The subject was Pre-Calculous and the topic was operations of functions. Students entered the classroom in a calm manner and socialized until it was time to start class. The teacher instructed the students to take their seats and take five minutes to write their assignments into their academic calendar. The teacher went

We place great emphases with the horizontal relationship and we try to do our best to keep those relationships in a healthy zone, but our vertical relationship must be kept up with as well.

Christian Tradition course exposed me to the Christian Tradition based on Biblical and church history. The course taught me the differences and similarities of Christian Tradition from other major world religions. I learned about the significance of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Trinity based on the teachings of the Bible. The course also briefly covered 2,000 years of church history but with emphasis on the impact of the Council of Nicea, Council of Chalcedon, and John and Charles Wesley on Christianity. The professor emphasized the importance of the reformation that sparked a revolution in the church.
