Relief at Last

What a relieving day! I had a quiz, two tests, and an exam this week. I finished off with my Chemistry test today and I also completed my interview. I’ve been attending the church services at Northstar for the past three weeks and I am getting a good feel for the community interactions. As soon as you walk into Blacksburg Middle School on Sunday mornings, there are plenty of church members and their families’ conversing while helping themselves to the complementary donuts, bagels, juices, milk, and coffee. The members, attendees, and leaders off the church are extremely welcoming and friendly. All sorts of people will come up and introduce themselves and are genuinely interested in learning more about you. I think what I would like to zero in on at Northstar is the fact that since the church is relatively small it is very close knit and has a strong emphasis on volunteer work. The church is very organized, and this is mainly due to the members choosing to be active. Northstar encourages its members to do more than just attend Sunday services.
My interview took place this morning at Starbucks on Main Street. I interviewed Cody, the worship leader/youth and college leader, for Northstar. Since he is not too much older than me he was extremely easy to talk. He gave me a lot of useful information and insightful answers to the interview questions. Since I was relatively familiar with the current events of the church, it was really easy to bring up other topics as he answered questions. When I ran out of interview questions, we just started talking about life. This added a nice touch to the whole interview experience. As of now, I am not left with any questions unanswered, but if I think of anymore at a later time I know Cody will certainly be available for a follow up interview.
