Personal Narrative: My Father To An Evangelical Christian Church

1296 Words6 Pages

At the age of 6, I was raised in a Catholic church and had no clue what were my beliefs. I would attend because I am really attached to my mother than my father. Every Sunday, I would decide whether to go with my father or mother but, usually, I would go with my mother to the Catholic Church. Another reason I would go was for the after service festivals because they were so fun even though their Mass is so boring. It was rare when I would join my father to an Evangelical Christian Church but when I would assist I felt weird because I was experiencing two different religions. After three years I started to join him every Sunday and Friday and I really liked how the congregation is so welcoming. I was really timid and shy but, once I stepped …show more content…

I was a little strong girl who had faith in God because He is always there for me when I am sad or going through negative situations. Then, an amazing ministry impacted my life and I was really eager to be part of it to show my talent to God. It is called Shachah Ministry which is creative arts and dance to worship the Lord. My team and I use tambourines, flags, and streamers. Each of these instruments has a significant verse for each. For example, for tambourines, we do dance routines and each routine has a purpose with a verse. Every time we hit the tambourine during worship in my church is like scaring the bad spirits away from the House of God. One meaningful verse I memorized is in Romans 12:1 says, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God this is your true and proper worship.” This verse represents who I am in this ministry I am a Christian who has the freedom of expression while worshiping God and to realize the full potential God created me for.

Personal Narrative: Oak Bridge Community Church

I have involved with music since I was a child, however, the thought of architecture and acoustics never came to mind. When it came to high school I soon realized that there were certain designs and elements that each venue had, but never thought much of it. Until this class I never knew how much went into the design of certain architectural structures such as music venues, offices, apartments, etc. Each structure has certain design elements that make them individually pleasing to the people who interact with them. One place that I found to be interesting in regards to the acoustics in a public venue is my church back home in St. Louis, Missouri.

I love working on the mission fields, so I try to go on as many mission trips as I can. In 2015 I went

Essay: My Experience At Grace Lutheran Church

1443 Words | 6 Pages

Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

Personal Narrative: My Interview With A Catholic Church

I think that it is always great to experience new things and to try and widen your worldview. I have never gone to a service before that wasn’t Christian and before Friday it was a completely foreign thought that I would ever go to one. Even though there were a lot of differences it was shockingly very similar to what I am used to with the Catholic Church services. There was a lot of going from sitting to standing for certain songs and prayers. Also, the formality of it was very similar to Catholic services as well.

However, like with many young adults, when I grew older I began to question my faith.
