Personal Narrative: Organizing Activities At A Christian Conference

Church, temple, sanctuary, or the Lords’s house, these are just a few names that your average person might call the place you come to worship God, I have always called it home. The Church I have been attending, Memorial Baptist Church, which is also where I attend high school, I have been attending since I was the age of three years old. Moving to the area that my family lives in now, I do not believe is any accident. At the age of two years old, my father was stationed in Tennessee for the military. After passing away from brain cancer, my Mother moved my two older sisters and me to Killeen Texas, to be closer to her family. Memorial Baptist Church was the only church we have ever been members of since moving to Texas, it has always felt like

I have extensive experience planning and coordinating events. Currently, I am a Program Committee Chair Member for the African American Alumni Society at the University of San Francisco (USF). As a Chair Member, I am responsible for coordinating special events, most recently, the society 's spring event the Black Alumni Mixer at the San Francisco Press Club. We did not have a theme, but our goal was to encourage alumni to reconnect and to donate at least $10, to the African American USF scholarship fund. The budget for this event was $5,000. This budget included food and the venue to host 50 alumni. My role included finding venues, and sending invitations to alumni. Over 100 alumni attended the Black Alumni Mixer, and we raised over $2,000. Additional duties as Chair include recruiting, engaging and encouraging Alumni to participate in university events as volunteers and attend alumni events.

I attend Gospel Light Freewill Independent Baptist Church in Thomasville, NC. It’s a relatively small church, with about 50-70 people on a Sunday morning. My grandmother, my aunt, and my uncle attend this church as well. I consider myself to be a child of God and a true “born again” Christian. Being “born again” means that one has accepted God into their heart and has been changed on the inside. I accepted him into my heart on October 9th, 2012. Growing up strictly in an independent Baptist church, I didn’t know that other churches were different, at least not until I visited my boyfriend’s church which is Southern Baptist. My pastor preaches heavily on hell-fire and brimstone. He walks up and down the altar, yelling and jumping. There are

* Being able to help the organization and helping the community! Giving my word and doing what is supposed to be done, which would be using the money for the

We raise money that goes towards research for treatments against childhood diseases. My first year I was on the production and marketing committee. We documented important events leading up to the marathon and kept a live stream going through the whole thing as well. My second marathon I joined the hospitality committee. I aided in the search to find local restaurants that would donate food throughout that marathon. The day of the marathon I made sure all the dancers were properly accounted for and received any information they may need. We organized food deliveries and eating times for over 30 different restaurants and 2,000

We are a new youth football organization in the city. We formed our charter in May of this year, and we are known as Asbury Park American Youth Football (AFY). We participate in the largest league in the New Jersey, which also includes the shore. We have about 62 boys and girls participating in football and cheer on three (3) teams: Mighty-mites, Jr. Peewees, and Peewees. We practice at the high school and play our home games at the Stadium: our first game is versus Brick in two (2) weeks. We are an organization that is transparent and solely place our participants first.

Today was a boring and very uncomfortable day for me. Everyone know my last day here at Grace Christian Center is tomorrow so everyone is telling me that they’re sorry that I’m leaving. I’m not sure if its true or not , but its nice to hear. When I walked through the doors of GCC I went straight back to my seat and started cleaning out my desk. I don’t have much in there but I want to make sure that I leave it in better shape than when I got it. Just because I’m leaving doesn’t mean that I have to leave my work area cluttered. After cleaning up my area I decided that I was going to go downstairs to eat lunch with the rest of the staff member, which was odd because that’s something that I normally run away from. Me and the staff ate

Writing this Professional Project required some deep soul searching while deepening my spirituality to train the veterans of Tabernacle African Methodist Episcopal Church to become Disciples of Christ. Completing the nine training sessions will be beneficial for the congregation. A selection of a Steering Committee from the various boards within the church will assist me with the effectiveness of the Professional Project. Teaching the veterans about The Fruit of the Spirit will strengthen my spiritual walk with Christ as well. Each branch of the military has military core values and a comparison will be made with each Fruit of the Spirit during the training process. Presentations and workshops on The Fruit of the Spirit will undergird

On March 27th, 1997, I was born. I was baptized on June 24, 1997, at Holy Face. Growing up, my family were strong believers in the Catholic faith. My sisters and I attended Catholic school from Kindergarten through 12th grade. We attended Mass every week, biweekly while we were at St. John's. My parents raised us as Catholics, with God at the center of everything that we did.

In my Statement of Purpose for Christian Senior Service, I portrayed myself as someone who had experienced a lot when it comes to the world of service and serving others. I talked about how I have fundraised for Moyamoya Disease Research for ten years and how I have helped my sister with her Spanish studies. I quoted the movie Robots and said that I try to live by the message of “See a need, fill a need.” Although this is all still true, the type of service I have done at DRAC Physical Therapy is like no other service I have ever done in my life thus far. I was confident going into Christian Senior Service as I am a veteran at doing volunteer work, however, my confidence quickly dwindled as I was in a new place doing something I was completely unfamiliar with and very much out of my comfort zone.

For staff, there will need to be a couple of directors that organize all the activities and interact with all the members. Also, there needs to be older college students that are a part of the different parishes in Sioux Falls that will serve as mentors and leaders in this group. For materials, there will be a need of a lot of bibles and highlighters to study scripture. The other materials that will be needed will be food and sport supplies to play games like ultimate Frisbee or Dodgeball. The overall expenses would not be very high at all to make this group. The only problem that there would be is finding enough mentors that care about their faith enough to join the group. Other than that, there are no real problems with forming this group, if it doesn’t succeed it won’t be that big of a loss because there wasn’t that much money put into it in the first

If the leader goes into the congregation to pray for people, walk behind security and be ready to hand out tissues and comfort

On a hot, humid day, my church group and I were doing a daily meeting which consisted of games, reading, laughing, and singing. Everything was normal, until the youth pastor, Blanca, went outside for a long period of time. It was about 20 minutes later that she came in with 3 new kids. I looked at them, one boy and two girls, the boy with the brown short hair and laid back clothes and the two girls that could easily be twins with their soft brown hair and too in laid back clothes. I could tell they were nervous, all three of them were folding their hands in front of them while swaying. I kept thinking that I should talk to them, but I was scared that they would not like me or would think that I was weird. So I kept my mouth shut and just payed

My journey with God started in February of 1993, when I went to a ladies’ conference in Columbus, Texas. It was while the speaker was explaining that she knew there were some of us out in the audience, who felt guilty about something they had done in their past, and they did not feel that God could forgive them for it. But then she quoted from God’s word; “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, not principalities, no things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 8:38-39 NASB) The speaker continued on to say that all we need to do is

Interviewing several pastors can be eye opening in that you will begin to see different character qualities, disciplines and where they are in their spiritual journey. My intention was to interview several pastors, however, I was unable to obtain the responses needed to complete a study such as that. I did get to meet with one pastor, and I believe that it was truly difficult for him to answer most of the questions even after giving him some time to think about each question. My interview was with a very intelligent and spiritual man named Les Harvey. He is currently serving at the Church of the Highlands Greystone campus under many great leaders.
