Recommended: Impact of religion on society

I'm passionate in meeting new people and trying new things, and nowhere is better than my church; Grand Rapids Matu Christian Church. This community originally started in 2008, when I first came to America, where we only had 10 members. I love this community and its people because I can be myself around these people. When I'm outside of this community, I'm force to wear a mask that people has to accept and be constantly judged on. However, GRMCC is different in that its family and friends. The best thing about me involving in this community is that I have a big impact in it. Ever since it was established in 2008, I have played a big roll in its development. Because many of the elders, such as the pastors and secretary couldn't speak

  • Apollo 8 Mission: Vocational Glory to God

    1896 Words  | 4 Pages

    Recognizing God is a part of our vocation within community can be confusing for us, how can we serve God in the different venues of our life when the world teaches such differing views? We are encouraged to share our witness, testimony, and service within our families, workplace, and our social settings. Family includes the household within our life touching upon each role parent, child, and spouse. It becomes acceptable to compartmentalize the areas of our life and serve in comfortable areas. Consumerism and societal pressures challenge us to withdraw from the Spirit when we feel intimidated, out of place, or even unworthy of God’s involvement in our life. We are called to be “the salt of the earth”, accepting the challenge to unite God’s calling upon our whole-life. According to Migliore, “United in Christ by the power of the Spirit we are one community; we are members of one body and mutually dependent on one another. Recognizing God works with all areas of community unites families, workplace, and social settings together.

  • Personal Statement: Growing Up In A Mexican Family

    1018 Words  | 3 Pages

    If someone was to ask me two years ago what I wanted to be I would have greeted them with silence. Before I was a very anti-social person and I didn’t really like speaking much in front of a public, audience, or even my small group of friends. I was the type of girl who preferred staying home in the weekends and watch Netflix instead of going out. But everything changed when I went on a missionary trip with my church to Mexicali. The church I attend has a group of volunteers who go every 2-3 months on the weekends to Mexicali. In these trips we distribute clothes, food, essentials, toys, and candies for all the kids and people in Mexico that live in poverty. Many people who live there live in harsh conditions and are struggling to provide a home for their families. My first trip was a life changing experience because it changed the person who I was. I became an active and outgoing person. I became to appreciate and value the possessions I have at home. Every time I see the kids at Mexicali content when they receive a pair of shoes or a piece sandwich it makes me pleased of myself because I’m able to help them with what I can. Throughout these series of trips I discover my passion and how I have a soft spot for kids. Since Mexicali and where I live have a very large driving distance and I can’t go every day I also volunteer to help kids and adults around my community also. I have help

  • What Does Community Mean To Me

    245 Words  | 1 Pages

    Community is not something that you can fully understand just by seeing. Community is something you feel deep inside of you and fills your heart with a desire to have relationships with others. Being apart of a group and knowing others is not enough either. You actually have to go out and spread God’s word. It says in Deuteronomy 15:11, “You shall surely open your hand for a brother, to your needy, and to the poor, in your land.” As Father McGivney Catholic High school, we “open our hands,” meaning to guide and help others together as one and lead them to the path of salvation. We help the people who really need it. For example, providing joy to people in nursing homes or providing food for the hungry. I am a very cheerful person and

  • Application for National Honor Society

    I am dedicated to helping out our community and school, because it warms my heart and soul. Seneca said in about 40 to 60 A.D. that you should “be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favors you have received.” In other words you should not boast about the numerous projects you have accomplished and how much physical work you executed, but rather pride yourself on how you helped people in community and school, and how you have affected their lives with positive means. I feel life is joyous and it should be the feeling everyone illustrates, and this is exactly what keeps me functioning in the stressful world today. I find comfort in helping others to make their lives a little more like heaven and this comfort motivates me to perform copious service projects to the best of my capability whenever I find the time. Time is fair to the rich, the poor, and to every race, because time is equal and gives everyone 24 hours daily to accomplish their required tasks. Because time is so valuable and I am occupied by difficult advanced placement and honor classes and juggle school, clubs, sports, and friends, I joined Key Club, a high school division of the adult service club, Kiwanis. Key Club opened new doors to make every extra minute count towards helping others.

  • Importance Of Volunteering

    I learned about the importance of giving back at the age of 11yr old and putting the very important needs of others in front of my own. Volunteering in a homeless shelter at a young age opened my eyes. Where I was placed to give food, clothes, money & hygiene products to people in need. Where would I be right now without the help of God, my mother, family& friends and the church community”. Giving a helping hand to the people in the community is Something we should always do. In the ("bible Acts 20:35 says in everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the lord Jesus himself said: it is more blessed to give than to receive"). Having a compassionate heart for the community blesses the congregation.

    For those of you who are going on to another Christian community, I challenge you to be the different ones. Christian groups too often say, "yeah, praise God," and then not always walk in His steps. They see Christianity as just obeying the big rules instead of a daily faith relationship with God. They might even ask you to do subtle things that break God's rules. Take that extra step and really be a leader. Be the one person that everyone can look up to and say that you have the love of Jesus in your heart. Show them that you are truly on fire for God.

  • What Is Attending School Essay

    1186 Words  | 3 Pages

    For as long as I can remember, I have been attending the Immanuel Lutheran Church. As I was growing up, my mom was big on attending church every Sunday. If we would miss a service or we would be gone, she would make up for it! My mom would grab the children’s Bible and activity book and we would have our own Sunday school lesson. I loved listening to my mom read my favorite Bible stories. If we were on vacation, we would attend our relatives’ churches. Attending church from child years to teen years and then on to adult years has been very important. The stories that I got to listen to were wonderful, but the lessons I learned were absolutely incredible. The people and the lessons can teach a person a lot about who he or she is and who he or she can be. It helped me find who I am and who I want to become as an adult. There are important reasons why we choose to attend church as a family. There are also many effects that come from the great experience. Attending church since I was little helped me become the strong, absolute person I am today.

    Taking various college-level courses throughout my high school career taught me that my calling was to be a Pediatrician who still stuck close to his faith. During my sophomore year of high school, I decided to join the youth group of my Church -- Saint Michael Parish. After the first few meetings of me being my awkward self, I said to myself, “This is where I want to be.” From then on, I was seen around the Parish at least two times a week. At the start of my junior year, I was asked to join the Core Team of Youth Group and the Confirmation 2 Retreat Team who works hand in hand with the Youth Coordinator, Arla Sigarlaki. And recently, I was asked to be one of the two leaders that would lead the Retreat Team that I was just on a year ago. And from there, as I enter my senior year of high school, I decided what I wanted my future to look like: a Pediatrician with a big family that is also a faithful

    As a young girl, I was raised in the church, and I have always loved being in God’s house every opportunity that is given to me. My grandfather is the preacher, and my father is a Sunday School teacher at my church, Union Baptist. Their positive influences on my life are what pushed me to consider this drastic change of lifestyle. I constantly admired their love for The Lord, and I craved that feeling; one could even say I was jealous of the strong bond of unending love. It was not until July 14, 2011 that I finally decided that I did not want to live another day without having Jesus in my heart. July 14th seemed to be just another normal Saturday until I attended an unusual worship service at my church. During this service, I felt the
