The Sunday Night Project

Field Experience This year I started working with the youth at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Athens. I spend three hours with them every week; each week entails something different. A typical Sunday night looks like your average youth group or Sunday school setting. However, the youth takes many outside field trips and retreats throughout the year. The kids are middle and high school students, boys and girls between the ages of eleven and eighteen. Due to the fact that this learning…

aggressive literacy project to address the alarming disparity affecting children and youth who are overlooked because of race and economic marginalization. Low literacy levels are also strongly related to crime. The Department of Justice states, “The link between academic failure and delinquency,…

day carefully so that I would have fewer issues than if I had, say, been out and about all day. Mother’s day was Sunday night and my mom, sisters, and I had a nice relaxed night in listening to music, making dinner, and hanging out by the fire. The hardest part was not being able to look up song lyrics, which occasionally we wanted to know. I did not force my family to join me in my project. If they wanted to look up the lyrics they could and just keep the information to themselves. Otherwise,…

to the long term, and my long-term goals are of course important to my future adult life. My first short term goal is to complete my senior project and graduate high school this June. I must spend many hours working with my church media team to help with the smooth flow of services on Sundays and on Wednesday nights. I will also have to present my project to panel of judges from around the community to graduate. I must complete this in the last semester of my high school career to graduate. My…

Summarizing my own spiritual journey in relation to Hagberg and Guelich (2005) text seems to be a struggle for me. The journey has also include my thoughts, on what it would be like to counsel someone else that is in a different stage of faith than, myself. My faith journey will be divided into four stages. Stage 1: A mother’s love. Born into a lower middle class family, with both my parents, growing up in a very conservative and traditional household, we were all Southern…

Looking at the Timeline it seems to me that there are not enough hours in, the day. So, I have to come to the realization that there are several things that I can do to be more efficient. Thinking out right after looking at the Timeline I could not come up with anything because, I felt as though, I could handle everything on my own. After, reading and article about the eight things that make up a really efficient person I realized that I needed to do so recalculating of my schedule. The eight…

I like to spending my Sundays reading Molly O 'Neil and cooking some big stew like meal for myself and my neighbor Ben. During the last few months I have been overwhelmed with work and have spent my Sundays trying to catch up with all the work that I need to do. That means that I have had to eat prepared foods more than I would like too. I learned to cook at the…

Throughout your adolescent years and all the way to college, homework is the death of all students. You may enjoy it some nights, but most nights you would rather not. Throughout the school year teachers assign homework to each of their classes and expect us to take time out of our lovely, short, daily break, to stress ourselves even more than we already do. Most students are understanding of the piles of homework to do when getting home. It’s insane. Getting home, relieved of all other work,…

For my sophomore religion project I chose to interview June Gromowski, my Grandma. I chose her because ever since I was born I have lived with her. I grew up listening to her stories and she has inspired my faith in many ways. Whenever I struggle with my faith she encourages me with God’s word and tells me he has a plan. I have always found that extremely comforting since I know what she had to go through growing up. Grandma was born on September 2nd 1936, in Milwaukee Wisconsin. She was born…
