Yesenia’s Yummies “Local food is about getting the freshest and best tasting food. Its also about connecting your community.”- Anna Lappe. No one would have said it better than the way Anna put it, I am proud to say have found a community space in my town. Restaurante de Tangamandapio has become a treasure, the most well ran mexican restaurant in Modesto. Modesto is full of mexican food sold from trucks, shops, carts, you name it we have it in Modesto. Although there are so many options…
the people go out into the community and take the gospel of God to those that are not a part of the structured church. The attraction or model of ministry is one where those that are part of the church attempt to draw others into the church. The pastor in the local church has been given a mandate by God known as God mission. The purpose of the mandate is to carry the gospel of the kingdom of God to the community. Matthew 28:16-20 the commands given to go into the world, to leave the place of…
rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. to area members of the clergy who had criticized his manner of advocacy (King 1300). While pointing out he does not make a habit of responding to criticism, King nonetheless indicates he is responding to the pastors because they are level headed and mean well (King 1302). King articulates the purpose for which he is in the Birmingham jail by illustrating ideas of justice and instances of abuse while underscoring the urgency of a response from the Christian…
Then is Now: My Conversation with My Diary. This work is more than my reflection. It is a cathartic tool that allows me to reveal the heart of a developing young woman to other young women, to mothers, daughters, sisters, and best friends, and pastors, and husbands, fathers, brothers and boyfriends. I have never been strung out. I was not a teen mother, as a matter of fact, I have never had a child. I grew up in the same house with both my mother and father and an older sister who each hold…
Hoge’s six habits (praise, time management, study, play, love, and humility) are all equally important for a pastor to give his best to his congregation and as a leader of the church and follower of Christ. From my perspective, time management is crucial for many pastors to be able to manage their overall ministries and prepare a good…
to question the Caucasian population’s idea of diversity. This is pushed further when statements are added into the article from minorities, saying that there are only “five or six of us (black folk) here”. This huge difference is explained by the pastor as the churches ongoing attempt to integrate more minorities into the church. This strategy is called managed diversity. Managed diversity is described as being a modern day form of racism where minorities are openly encouraged to enter white…
for doing so. People look for a leader in a pastor and Mr. Hooper is exactly who someone should want to find and aspire to be like. If he can remain true to such a difficult promise as wearing the veil to pay for his sin, then one would expect him to honor even simpler promises. The people of Milford feel as though Reverend Hooper can see into their conscious because of his veil and that he knows their secrets and sins; perhaps this ability for a pastor is not entirely bad and if Mr. Hooper can…
It was a warm spring morning in May of 1999 I, Michael Hays, was born and changed my parents lives forever. I’m finishing high school this year and I am planning on going to collage at Ohio university in Athens then later transferring to Ohio State University in Columbus Ohio. I am an individual who loves to be outside and do anything outdoors. My favorite hobbies are hunting, fishing, and shooting and competing in 3D archery, I have won many regional competitions and have made the podium at…
taught that that is the way things were and not to question tradition. The town follows the rules of the bible, the pastor, and mayor since the mayor claims to be in line with god and controls the pastor. The townspeople do not question things even when they desire to go against the rule. An example of this would be when the people stopped going to the chocolate shop because the pastor and mayor claimed Vienne was working for Satan due to her past and the fact that she opened the shop during…
On December 1 2015 at 4:38 AM my mother lost her brave fight against Cancer. I was initially going to talk to a pastor who lives next door to me. After my mother’s passing I decided to talk to my sister about her faith. We grew up in the same house, but our religious beliefs are very different, she is a believer and has faith and belief in God. I decided to talk to my sister about her beliefs and why she thinks we are so different in our beliefs. I already miss my mother and can’t believe…
