Essay On Church Observation

On Sunday morning at 9:30am in the town of North Branch Michigan at the St. Peter and Paul Catholic church, I was observing with a notebook and pen, in the back of the church sitting in a pew for an hour when the church service finished.

As I sat in the back of the church, I could see everybody in front of me and everybody that came in.

I even heard some of them say that they have not seen each other in a while and they would talk about how each other have been and what have they been up too.

As people started scattering off I watched the church attenders give hugs or handshakes to the person or people they were talking
