Some of the song they played sounded familiar to me. I tried to sing along with the choir that was singing on the sanctuary. I loved that I got to see all different types of ethnic groups that attended Nuevo Amanecer Sunday service. It was not just the Hispanic population, there were a few African Americans and Caucasian that attended that service. The pastor talked about God’s grace, and even though it is not something we deserve, God is kind to us and wants the best for our lives no matter what we may go through. We should discover God’s riches for our lives through the grace he has given us as a free gift. Romans 3:20-24 says “For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with

    Give examples of how the practice of ministry has affected your experience and understanding of A) God At the core of my understanding of God is a God of love in covenantal relationship with God’s children. Romans 8:38-39 says it well; “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The practice of ministry has only proven to strengthen that belief. I was called early Saturday morning to sit with a family who had just learned of the death of their daughter/granddaughter in a vehicle accident.…

However, now that I am taking Social Work 461 with Dr. Tillman, one of my assignments is to attend a religious service that is held by a group that is different from mine. As a result, I decided to attend a Buddhist temple to get an insight of what the Buddhist religion is about.…
