The Salvation Army: A Short Story
The duration of the home visit with these church members was 20 minutes. When we got there, five family members were sitting in the living room. They greeted us in a positive manner, and I was introduced as Cadet Ingrid Moreno from the training college of the Salvation Army. Pastor inquires if everyone was ok, “they all reply, yes. “ Then he said before, we speak to our father," is there anything specific anyone would like to share or pray about. They all answered no, with a smile on their faces. I was feeling a little uncomfortable. My presence may have stopped them from conversing with the pastor. Pastor turn and said to me, “Cadets pray a blessing for this family that God will keep them in good health.” I prayed with confidence in my heart

    Recovery Group Field Trip and Paper

    I attended a local Narcotics Anonymous meeting held at the Salvation Army building in my hometown. Upon entering the meeting room, the few people that were in the room did say hello to me, however, no one asked me why I was there. I was left alone to choose my seat wondering what was next. Eventually, a middle-aged man entered the room. I soon learned that he was running the meeting. He asked if it was my first time there. I told him that it was and before I could explain my presence I was handed several brochures and asked to read a laminated sheet when called upon. He quickly moved on with his meeting set-up duties. So, being a bit nervous, I chose to sit quietly and review the materials given to me. As others entered the room, I noticed that many were in probably in their twenties and then some in their thirties, forties, and beyond. Some were well dressed and others poorly dressed, coming from all walks of life. There were more men in attendance than women. It was obvious that many of them knew one another as they were having conversations. Some brought their small children probably not having babysitters or able to afford one.…

    Task C reflective account

    I work in a nursing home for the dementia of the elderly and I understand that their upbringing and background was very different to how mine was, some of the service users have a very different view on life with their beliefs but I take into account that everyone has their own way of living and thinking for example sadly one of the services users past away last year and her close friend who also lives in the home wanted me to accompany her to her funeral in a church, even though I don’t believe in god I still took the time on my day off to take her and pay my respect and sang the songs throughout the lovely service, religion may affect people in different ways as we are taught differently and brought up in different ways by doing this it made me happy that I made a service user happy that she could attend.it is important that I remember that my personal preferences are different to others and that I can’t and will not try to change that, for example iv recently had a conversation with an elderly woman that I look after about cleanliness, she explained to me that when she was my age she only had a bath once a week and that was only on a Sunday, I explained to her my beliefs in how I have a bath daily and sometimes twice a day as that is how I was brought up, I asked her if she still would like to have a bath on a Sunday but she replied with she doesn’t really mind what day she has her bath but sometimes would like two.…

    Everone Has a Story

    Every 2 weeks after service, my church hosts breakfast for anyone who wants to come. My dad and I would normally attend these events, because he was too lazy to make breakfast on his own. Well on this particular chilly morning in autumn, it was my church’s turn to host breakfast, and as routine, my dad and I go and serve ourselves a cup of coffee and we also grab a bagel. While I sat and ate this bagel I couldn’t stop thinking about this man and how he how he was doing considering it was in the low 40’s that morning. The more I thought about it, the more I felt sorry for this man. I needed to find Steven, my youth pastor who also normally came to breakfast, to tell him about this man. I knew there had to be something I could do to help him, even if it just was getting Steven to go over there and talk to him and offer him some breakfast because I was too scared to approach this man.…

    Communicating with an Addict

    When we got to the facility, we are asked to sign in and have a seat in the waiting area. After sitting there for about 10 minutes, the counselor come out and asked everyone to come on back. She is the group the leader for this specific class. We then went into a very large room and were asked to sit anywhere we would like. I would say that this room held at least 60 chairs that were in a circle. These meeting were normally just our family, but this time it was everyone else and their families also. There was an opening in the front of the room, where the counselor would stand with her easel. The recovering addicts of the room seemed at ease to be there, but I could tell that everyone else seemed to be a bit nervous.…

    On Tuesday my church was able to go zip-lining and he was helping out with the ladder that is used to help people get off of the zip-line safely. I asked him if he remembered me, sure enough he did and he suggested that when we had a night off, or some free time, to try to find him and we would talk some more. I talked to him Thursday night for about an hour, about different basses, amps, music, and again, my future. I knew he was going to ask me if I had figured out my plans for college, and I explained to him that I still had no idea and that I was leaving it up to God. He told me that was a good plan and went on to tell me more about DBU and many wonderful things about the college. He explained how he began in the worship band, and how close he was to the other band members. He relied on them and they relied on…

    The Salvation Army: Mission Of The Salvation Army

    The Salvation Army got its start in 1852, when William Booth began ministering to the lost multitudes of London. He walked the streets preaching to “the poor, homeless, hungry, and destitute (salvation).” It was not until 1878 that the name “Salvation Army” was established. Booth came up with the name, inspired from the title on an annual report. They used military ranking to establish authority among the officers. In 1879, Lieutenant Eliza Shirley brought the Salvation Army to the United States. It has since spread, bringing assistance to the needy across the world.…

    Alcohol Anonymous Meeting

    On Sunday November 18th, I attended my first alcohol anonymous open meeting at Gerritsen Beach. The church was called St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the session started at 7pm. I was actually very nervous going by myself, so I asked my best friend to come with me for support. This meeting occurred in the basement of the church. My best friend and I began walking down the stairs into the basement, and we already saw people sitting around in a circle. We grabbed our chairs, and sat with them, and for another few minutes, the place began to fill up quickly. I noticed there was a person in the middle of the room, who we later found out, was the chairperson. She was very nice, and dressed very proper. She began with reading the Alcohol Anonymous…

    Reflection Paper On Aa Meeting

    The first meeting I decided to attend was an AA meeting. I choose this meeting from a list on Google.com. I did not have any requirements for the meeting, but I made my final decision based upon the location and familiarity of the location. I use to live in the area and was comfortable that my choice would be in a safe location. I choose to go to a meeting in the day time, due to safety and my gender. I drove to the meeting with no complications to finding the exact location. The church has signs that displayed “AA” and arrows guiding the direction of the front door. The meeting location is three blocks from public transportation. The meeting is held at a church which may prevent other religions from participating. I am a Christian; therefore I did not have any prior feeling about the meeting location, but a feeling of nervousness, and a sense of being naïve was present. My first observation was the lack of anonymity with the “AA” signs being displayed. I have seen “AA” meetings on T.V., so I came with a preconceived notion that the meeting would be conducted as I observed.…

    Intern And Bereavement

    This week at intern I was able to help the chaplain make session for the bereavement group. He said they did this because they continue their commitment to support their family in their time of grief and I thought that was great. After we set the date we made invitation and I was to sent an invitation to each family member. There was about 70 people this time that we needed to invite. After the chaplain asked me to call every single person and invite them personally. Each person took it differently. Some people would hang up because they didn't want to talk about it and some people need someone to talk to about their feeling. I feel I got to assess the patient because some got to have me as support to talk to.…

    Memoir: The Homeless

    The moment I looked out the window of the car and my eyes turned to the row of homeless people weaving its way through the traffic begging for money, I jumped out of my seat. It was my first visit to India after leaving the country for the United States. The homeless people's’ hands were making weird gestures and thumping the windows of the honking cars. I could not digest what I was seeing! While reaching out to an old woman to give her some money, I thought about what non homeless people could do to help those without a home and basic needs. Then, I asked myself a question. Why not give them something that will be with them forever and help them out of their poverty and teach them valuable skills? After all, a mountain of…

    Christian Community

    St Jude’s Anglican Church is in Randwick and I attended the 9.30am Service, which is a Sung Eucharist with Holy Communion. This begun with the procession of Servers, Choir and Clergy followed by our first Hymn (there were 4 Hymns altogether). The Service was clear to follow as it was printed in a booklet and was led by Rev Jim Le Huray who is the Associate Minister. The Bible readings, prayers and Collect of the day are different each week and these are printed on a weekly sheet so they too can be read. The Assistant Minister, Rev John Bartik gave the Sermon which was about suffering unjustly but if we serve God we will live freely. After this, we greeted other congregation members with a “Peace” handshake and sang an Offertory hymn where a plate was passed around and donations were made.…
