I was invited by my brother-in-law to come a worship with him. This location was a predominately African American church setting. I thought that this was a good opportunity to do the observation in an area where there was a lot of people are group in a particular setting. Being a pastor of a church, it was easy to observe people in this particular setting without necessarily being notice observing anyone.
I observed several people within church setting which were two males and three females. My observation of the people that I had chosen began during and after church service. The first part of my observation was not as difficult as the latter part because they were in a sedentary position in the congregation while I observed them. It became difficult after the service was over because people started to fellowship with one another moving around in the crowd which made it more

When we walked into the room where we would attend the service I noticed the seating was different. The seating in this Synagogue was sorted into three sections mixed, woman only, and men only.

    Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

Friendship became a major theme in this book and in many cases people’s close friends did not include much diversity. The authors explain that these friendships often derive from people looking for a church where they fit in.
