Theology 3

REFLECTION PAPER

Church service for us was a different event engaging to appreciate the

value of effort and time management and the essence of hardwork and
presence of God.
We have a given an opportunity to volunteer for a church service at the
San Vicente de Paul Church, Adamson University, Manila. We decided to
divide our group into two so we maximize the 6 hours. The first service that
was attended by Trish Dones and Mark Relucio. they clean around the
church. The congregation seemed to be quiet and peaceful it's just like when
you closed your eyes you can feel relax and just listen to the soothing
ambience of the church and it will totally give you a power to face your day.
They felt that God was providing a comfort for them. They thought that
they're outer to the deepest inner experienced a presence of God that is
difficult to explain. As they have learned many things that makes them more
attached to God. It means that even when they are tired doing the things
that they needed to finish just sit and feel the presence of God and it will
totally refresh you and vanished all the tiredness.
Then on the second service that was attended by Neil Aprao and I the
church office decided to encode some baptismal record. It was really easy to
do because we just type it on the computer then taaaddaaa. Job well done !
As we go back to the school I saw a beggar kid lying on the floor. I felt so sad
for him. So I just pray for him and continue to walk.
As Jesus taught the disciples to welcome children. The church has to be
taught the same thing. Jesus want us to treat everybody the way you treat
yourself. In Mark 9:36-37, wwe can find where Jesus took a little child and
had him stand among them. Taking in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever
welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and
whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me/." It is
important to treat children well, but also to teahc them about Jesus. We
should never regard children's ministries less important that those for adults.
Being a responsible student means being there for other people, not
just looking out for yourself or for your friends. There is an endless variety of
ways in which a person could be a responsible citizen: helping someone in
need, keeping your city clean, serving on committees, coaching little kids in
a sport, etc. But being responsible to me means reaching out past yourself to
see what you can do. It's more than just doing my job, because that's what I
am expected to do. It's doing the unexpected to make our city and even our
country a better place to live.
