For as long as I can remember I have been going to Prince of Peace Church every Sunday. Ever since I was a child, I always looked forward to attending church on a weekly basis. I anticipated seeing members of the church, some of whom I grew up with and some of whom I saw grow up into young men and women. It was at Prince of Peace Catholic Church that I formed fond memories of my first communion, my reconciliation and my confirmation. I molded strong bonds with fellow church members, some of which

Perhaps one of the most difficult realities a Christian must face when reading the Old Testament is the God of Justice—who ordered the death of women and children, and even killed the firstborns of Egypt by His own hand—and then reconcile Him with the God of great Mercy who gave us Salvation by dying for us on the cross.

Prior to my experience, I had little to no knowledge about the Islamic faith, other than what popular culture and the news has engrained into the public’s minds.

For our worship project, my group decided to visit a nearby Greek Orthodox Church. There were no issues deciding on a date for when to go to the service, and we all dressed appropriately for the event.
