Why I Want To Be Confirmed Essay
I believe that I am choosing and also not choosing to be confirmed for a few reasons. I am choosing to be confirmed because that is the next step I can take to be closer to God. Being confirmed seems like the last step anyone can take to have a closer to God. Also, that can be the same way in reverse on the other end. God would like to be closer to us, so through confirmation, God can be closer to us. Also, God can be guiding us through confirmation to have a stronger connection. I want to be confirmed and so does God, and that is a great gateway to a stronger connection.

Participating in Holy Communion to me means believing Jesus is present. At the beginning of it, the pastor says to come up if you believe Jesus is present, but that is only a small reason why I believe. Jesus was present in the wine and bread at the last supper, so if we remember that he will stay present during communion. Also, since Jesus died for us, participating in Holy Communion is a way to say thank you to …show more content…
The first way that I will stay active in church is continuing to go to church on Sundays or Saturdays. Another way I will stay active in church is volunteer work. I like to volunteer, and I also like what I can do for the church, so that encourages me to continue. The third way that I will stay active in church is getting my family to go to church more often. Sometimes my family is busy during worship or do not want to go, so if I can get them to go when they do not want to go, it will let us be more religious when we are together. The fourth way I will stay active is, praying for people who cannot make it to church that week. The final way I will stay active is, telling the people who missed church what they missed. If a person really wanted to go to church, they will not feel as bad since they would know what they missed. Those are five ways that I will stay active in

    Holy Eucharist Vs Sacrifice

    The Holy Eucharist is the manifestation of the Orthodox Church as the new life in Jesus Christ, the new life of grace. In the Mystery (Sacrament) of the Holy Eucharist, we have the real and true presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and not any symbolic or imaginary appearance. The change of the elements of bread and wine takes place by supernatural means that surpasses all human understanding and which can only be understood through pure and undefiled faith. Although, the Holy Eucharist as a Mystery (Sacrament) and as a Sacrifice is simultaneously perfected by the same sanctification, it keeps the two inseparable features of the Mystery (Sacrament) and the Sacrifice that differ according to their nature. Because the Holy Eucharist…

    Letter To Roseville Lutheran Church

    I am writing you today as a concerned member of your congregation. Recently, I found myself on the doorstep of an old, breath-takingly beautiful cathedral, but I stumbled in only to realize that I, a devout Lutheran, am not allowed to receive communion. My lack of knowledge on the Eucharist and the guidelines the Catholic church has placed on this sacrament lead to a response of hostility and hurt on this particular guideline. I am writing to tell you that my response of hostility and hurt was wrong, and dangerous for me and my faith. To come to this conclusion, you must first understand the history behind Catholic communion, the Catholic view on transubstantiation, acceptance in relation to the Eucharist, the…

    The Eucharist Vs. Greek Orthodox Church

    Communion is the liturgical act celebrated by Christians in honor of Jesus Christ’s death. Through bread and wine, members of the church reenact Jesus’ last supper, remember his sacrificial death, anticipate their reunion in Heaven, and reconfirm their unity with other members of the church. Communion is a central unit of worship in almost all Christian churches, but communion has been a source of conflict among Christians. The Eucharist can vary in tradition among the many denominations of Christianity. Because I attended the Catholic Church and Greek Orthodox Church, I will be focusing on one difference and two similarities between them. Both of these branches of Christianity do not agree on what the bread and wine actually represent or mean.…

    Community In The Eucharist Essay

    According to Morrill, in the Christian tradition, assembly is one of the most important ways that we can connect with Christ. In his Encountering Christ in the Eucharist, he argues that “ The community of faith can only exist through the sharing of that faith, which is focused in its ritual form of worship” (Morrill 21). As a young child I would grow impatient when my mother spent time after Church, with what I viewed as nonsense prattling. Now that I am older, I can see the importance that community is to the Church. Church communities are not only formed when the assembly is participating in the liturgy or service. Additionally, the ways that a Church community fellowships with each other outside of service also builds a sense of community…

I also know that God will always be there for me in Christian faith. My studies in the past six months to complete the confirmation class has verified all of my feelings I had going into the class.…

    World Religions Religious Site Visit

    The Primary section of the service consisted or an Opening song, Greetings and Announcements, an Opening Prayer, Gospel, another Prayer, and Communion. The whole process took about an hour and a half. During the Opening song the atmosphere felt tense, everyone was very serious and it was easy to see the dedication in the crowd. It made me feel very excluded because my faith is not the same. During the greetings and announcements the tension broke and it felt more inviting while the Priest explained things that were happening in the church over the next week. The greetings were followed by an opening prayer, and then a reading from the Gospel. The same atmosphere of tension and focus returned. It seemed as though everyone other than me was possessed by the words of the priest. At this point two individuals in white robes with lit candles and baskets on polls began Collection for charity and the church. Growing up I went to a very small Baptist church where we just passed around a small basket for collections, so this process seems very overdramatic to me. After collections they started Communion where we had the option of being blessed by the priest, drinking the juice representing Christ’s blood, and eating the wafer representing Christ’s body. I would have guessed from the previous atmosphere that everyone would want to be part of this but only a handful of people participated. Mostly Parents with young children.…

    Why I Pursue My Major Accomplishments

    I always loved school, and I was a fast learner. I was praised for my accomplishments at an early age and I believe that the satisfaction I gained from impressing others was motivation that impacted my future. I continued to do the best I could in school. My mother was very strict and tough on me when reviewing my work, ripping my essays if I wrote in sloppy handwriting and erasing all of my math problems if I got more than one wrong. It was emotionally difficult but I eventually toughened up, and her training made me a more diligent student. The only motivation I would have was the praise I would receive for amazing scores on my work. Eventually, I stopped being praised and it was devastating for me. I entered middle school and I continued…
