Background Information Visiting a new church can be disorienting. Even trying to analyze the use of scripture in a worship service that you attend every week can be a bit difficult. The first church visit gave you some specific guidance on how to visit a church and some information about different worship traditions to help you participate in and observe the worship service more fully. During this second attempt, you should be a bit more familiar with the entire process. Thus, the entire assignment is worth 25 more points and there is an additional question to be answered. Be sure to use Church Service Report #2 – that is number two. May your experience of worship and your analysis of the use of the New Testament be even more profound on your second visit. Instructions 1. Review the handout “How to visit a church.” You should also familiarize yourself with the Church Service Report #2 so that you know what to pay attention to during the service. 2. Attend a service. Be sure to take a bulletin or order of worship if one is provided. You may find it helpful to take brief notes during the service. Also, plan to ask your question of someone on the pastoral staff after the service. Try to fill out the Church Service Report #2 on the same day as the experience will be fresher in your memory. 3. Fill out the Church Service Report #2 form and submit it using the Church Service Report #2 dropbox by the end of the workshop. This report will be graded according to the following rubric.
