The following information pertains to detail regarding the date, time, name and location of the worship service attended for this field assignment: April 9, 2017 at 10 AM, at Church of St. Paul the Apostle (located 405 W 59th St, New York, NY 10019). April 9th, 2017 was also Palm Sunday so before service began, there were leaves for members of the congregation to pick up this worship service. The hymn that I will be analyzing in this paper will be the recessional hymn “All Glory, Laud, and Honor” by St. Theodulph (see appendix for full hymn). Of the three hymns that were found on the program, only this hymn and the Processional hymn “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna” by Ellacombe were played. On the program, there was an offertory hymn named “Lift …show more content…
In the refrain, the words “redeemer King” is describing Jesus Christ’s role in salvation. Additionally, in the first verse, “the King of Israel” is another way of calling Jesus Christ, which is what he was addressed as before his death by crucification. Additionally, there is a reference to Jesus as David’s royal son, which is showing the theological theme of portraying Jesus as the messiah, which is something that the Jews did not agree with, as seen with the reading. Next, in the third verse, the hymn utilizes the word “palms”, which is a direct relationship to the date that this song was sung on Palm Sunday. Lastly, in the final verse (verse 5), the last 5 words “our Savior and our King” is a direct reference to Jesus as based on the events after Matthew 26 after his crucification. In essence, all of these themes and references do coincide with Palm Sunday as it is showing the good of Jesus Christ and his importance in Christianity. The music that was used for this hymn did indeed fit the theme. The music gave a very uplifting feeling to the congregation as it did not have a “sad” tone at all. Additionally, the hymn starts with some bold tunes, which makes it sound uplifting and energize the congregation. Additionally, the feel of this song is the exact opposite of the processional tune as that one had a much darker
Although the history of Haslett Community Church may not be as long and storied as other churches, it is nevertheless a rich history. The roots of our community church began to grow on March 23, 1954 when several persons met at the home of Conrad and Rose Haney to discuss the need for a new church in Haslett. An open meeting was held at the Township Hall on March 31, 1954 to plan for a church. At that meeting, forty-nine people elected a steering committee and planned for services. One month and two days later on April 25, 1954, and one week after Easter, one hundred forty five people attended the first worship service and Sunday school above the old Township Hall and fire station on the northeast corner of Haslett and Okemos Roads. For the first year or so, guest ministers provided most of the sermons. Occasionally there would be a fire call and the siren would blow, interrupting the service. This always delighted the young children.
The Afghan and Muslim community take the idea of honour very seriously. They honour their family name and reputation very dearly. If someone within their family were to act or behave in such a way that the family’s honour is put into question the head, typically the father or the eldest male will act in a barbaric way that could potentially be deadly. This extreme sense of honour is prevalent throughout the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and the documentary “Honour Killing”. If a female were to act in a way that dishonors their reputation the husband or male relative believes they are allowed to punish those who brought the shame to their family without being held accountable for their actions.

The concert began with an incredibly brief introduction from the president of the Rochester Oratorio Society, after which the society performed a piece that is not listed on the program. After hearing the raw talent the choir displayed in their first performance the crowd praised them, and at this time a representative from the city’s mayor office took the stage and presented the society with a proclamation. The proclamation was on behalf of the city offices and expressed thanks for their 70 years of musical performances and education. Afterwards the society performed Norman Dello Joio’s “A Jubilant Song,” which served as a transition for the Houghton College Choir to take the seats of the men’s choral section. The college choir was approximately a third the size of the society choir, but still managed to perform with a lot of talent. The Houghton College Choir performed Kenneth Jennings’ “The Lord is the Everlasting God” and Larry Farrow’s “Give Me Jesus.” After a quick intermission the Rochester Oratorio Society took to the stage to perform Brahm’s Requiem, which is typically performed with an orchestra, but in their rendition a two person piano served as a replacement. Brahm’s Requiem is in German, making it difficult to understan...

In my paper I will talk about my visit to The Community Church at Murphy's Landing (CCML). I have chosen this particular Church because it is a family church type and my neighbor goes there and she encouraged me to go with her. I went there with my neighbor on April 6, 2014.This church is an appropriate for this assignment because the people there are welcoming me with an open heart and they are willing to help and provide me with information. When I visit the Church’s site I read these words “We know visiting a new church can be intimidating. But, we want to help you to be as comfortable as possible when and if you join us”. The people gather in the church weekly to glorify God in joyful worship. The expressions of worship on CCML take many forms a prayer, a hymn of reverent awe, a guitar ringing with a chorus of praise, or a warm handshake and a welcoming smile. Their weekly services begin at 9:30 each Sunday at church. Also, they have weekly podcast if anyone wants to listen online. They have many types of services for parents, kids and students. People at CCML were so friendly; they gather around me and start welcoming me, one by one. People there introducing themselves to me, one after another and provide me with their contact information and help. Then we start talking about the church services and Christianity in particular. The mission of CCML was knowing, growing and loving. They seek to live out our mission by worshipping together as a local community of believers, growing in spiritual maturity through discipleship, education, and small groups, caring for one another within the context of the larger church body and small groups, and Communicating the love of Christ to our world, both through local outreach and global mis...
Looking at verse six, and two, it is easy to see when they are singing “So do we, so do we” that fear takes over as all the injured dying men think that their families will never know what happened to them. They will be lost and forgotten forever. (A Tisket A
This song uses a range of different techniques to get the main message of the song across to the audience. Repetition is used in verses 2,4, and 8. “God help me, I was only nineteen”. The effect this gives is to emphasize how the composer is feeling. You feel the pain and the grieving the veterans went through whilst fighting for our country in the war. It makes you realize that some men and women were so young to go out and experience such things that no human being should go

In the second stanza, we are presented with golden wedding bells. This stanza has a total of twenty-one lines. These two things together seem to symbolize that the golden period in ones life happens in their twenties. The third line in this stanza, " What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!" tells of a marriage between two people. The new couple will be joined together in harmony, creating a world of happiness. Reference to a turtle-dove in this stanza symbolizes peace in this period of life. Compared to the first stanza, which used words such as "twinkle" and "tinkle", the second stanza gives off a more mature feel with words like "rapture" and "impel." The third stanza also refers to the future, as people at this age start thinking seriously about their future. In the first two stanzas, the bells are of desired metals, and the reader interprets them as positive sounds
On Wednesday, May 23rd, I attended the College Choir concert in the Reamer Campus Center. The choir performed a variety of songs, ranging from pieces in Latin to traditional American folksongs. Two of the pieces featured solos, and one even featured percussion instruments. Mrs. Elinore Farnum provided piano accompaniment for each of the songs, and performed beautifully. I was extremely impressed by the talented choir members and their ability to sing such a varied range of songs.

I arrived at the destination of where the ritual observation was to take place at 9:45 a.m. on February 23, 2014. The ritual takes place in Brockville, Ontario in a building called the New Hope Brockville Tabernacle. The tabernacle is a large building that has a tower, also known as a steeple, erected on the roof. On the steeple is the symbol of the cross. The front doors opened up to a large foyer where the majority of the people inside were gathered in various small groups. These groups were composed of members similar in age. Everyone who entered through the doors was greeted with lots of hugs and welcomes.
“The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”.(Matthew 26:41) These words of Jesus are thematic in both the novel, The Power and the Glory, by Graham Greene, and the poem, “Batter my heart, three-personed God”, by John Donne. Both the whiskey priest and the speaker of the poem are involved in a battle between their sinful flesh and their spirit, which seeks the Divine. They also admit their sin and commit themselves to God. In both the novel and the poem, the authors use similar paradoxes to describe the character’s relationship with God while the search for holiness takes each on a different path.
