Pastor Van definitely preached this sermon!!
On Sunday, Ginelle
and her family normally gather together and go to church. Although lots of your
friends may not share the same religion with you, it’s ok. We are all different
and God loves each and every one of us.
Here I am, bright and early!! I'm so GLAD to be here.
Ginelle told me that religion can be defined as
an interest or belief that is very important to a person. Just because someone doesn’t
share the same religious beliefs as you or a majority of your friends, doesn’t mean
that we should look down on this person(s), it just provides you an opportunity
to learn more about their religion. Maybe you guys can talk about and share
some similarities/differences and even experience different religious celebrations together. Then you can go home and share them with your family.
Shhh! Its so quiet in the sanctuary before church starts. People are praying and reflecting, this means to think.
Ginelle’s favorite
holiday is Christmas. This takes place every year on DECEMBER 25TH. I
know a lot of you think that Christmas is all about getting gifts, but
according to Ginelle’s religion of Christianity, it’s about the birth of Jesus
Christ. On this day, all Christians should come together to thank God for His one and only son. On the other hand, Muslims share a similar celebration, except it occurs on a different day every year depending upon their religious calendar. The name of their celebration is called Eid.
Eid is seen as a time where they all gather, eat and give gifts in celebration
of the ending of their fast. This is awesome how these two religions share some
similarities and differences.
I truly enjoyed hearing Ginelle’s pastor
preach. He spoke on the story of Ruth and how we should all try to be like her.
Although, people may be different in race, size, age, etc. Just because we
differ in religion doesn’t make them any different. God created everyone unique,
which means to be different in a special way. That’s what makes this world so
amazing!
