The Sunday Night Project

Introduction: Shame in the church has long been a pronounced interest to me. We want the church to be a place of hope and inspiration, but some of us have experienced a tremendous amount of shame, also. Growing up within a very conservative Holiness church taught me some life-giving valuable faith lessons. Yet, some of these lessons include, what not to do as a pastor or church member. Shame stops a person and/or the organization from growing into the person/group God has called him/her/them…

When we got this project I was anxious because it was a perfect excuse to be together. Being…

society. Daniel and Eli have a struggle with family and power, but believe that wealth is a dominating factor leading to a better life. The word family runs thin in There Will Be Blood. There are noticeable challenges within both the Plainview and Sunday families. Daniel Plainview does not have much family in existence throughout the movie. H.W. is the only proven family Daniel has left. However, H.W. is not Daniel’s blood family. The audience sees H.W.’s father dies while working in a well in…

It all started on the Wednesday prior to the twenty-third when on my way home I seen cars at the church, so I decided to…

our small three bedrooms and one bath house. Coming from an Italian family my dad was big on family traditions, he believed that was the strength to all family bonds. Growing up is was a routine to attend church and spend time at grandma’s house on Sunday. Family vacations were either spent at our family beach on Long Beach Island or at the cabin in the Poconos, close enough for my dad to get home if work called. We cannot forget the pumpkin picking with the Oakleys or going the Macy’s…

It’s because we focus on what separates us rather than what unites us. I go to Sunday School at the Islamic Center of Southern California and we focus on developing an American-Muslim identity and encourage interfaith dialogue. Our trip to a temple/Jewish Sunday School happened after Earth Day so both schools traded books with one another to stop wasting trees by making paper for new books. On the trip we focused on the…

Jones the farmer gets drunk and forgets to lock up for the night and feed the animals. The animals have not been fed well and are very hungry. They can’t take it anymore, so they break into the shed and helped themselves to food. Mr. Jones suddenly wakes up and he and his men began to chase and whip the animals…
