Chaplaincy Studies Lesson 16

  Soul-friend : I am grateful two already have a soul friend and my oldest son we have seen each other through many difficult issues, not one greater than the lose of my wife and mother of our children.He and I at that time leaned on each other for support and comfort. We prayed together many times after our lose and assisted each other in our grief and still do.

  I got ordained in order to perform his marriage ceremony which never came to pass,but my Soul-friend encouraged me to continue down the path of my calling to Jesus Christ.I would improve our friendship by trying to have a better understanding of the road that he is traveling and to provide all of the love and understanding that we are both missing with our lose. I would also try to find the sacrament of the present moment with him,and receive the grace he brings to me.

Sacred space : I will be starting out small at first with just a few sacred things as a backdrop because of the pandemic. I will have a podium and a table i front of it with the Cross, candles,as well as a Bible stand . For the service i will ware my clergy shirt and collar as well as my stole to led the worship.

 I will start the service with a prayer and call to worship then present my sermon on the message but I have prepared I will work in at that point a prayer request because the service will be online I will offer a prayer to all they're watching and you are attending the service, after that I will provide my closing statements and do an invitation to let Jesus Christ be our savior to whoever will take out the invitation and the cross I will follow this by the Benedictine and thinking everyone for the attendance and wishing them a safe and blessed week to come

Marriage policy: as for a marriage policy I will be honored to perform and to provide marriage services to any couple that requested it of me with out hesitation as long as the couple is willing to attend at least two pre marriage counseling sessions and meet all the state requirements and that I am familiar with their wishes for the ceremony.

Chaplaincy Studies Lesson 12

I really had to put a lot of thought in to this lesson. As a future Chaplain and in my ministry , it is my goal to be able to provide counseling to who ever ask for my help. I will be doing more study on the field of counseling one on one as well as small group counseling.. as far as the resources available to me I have the contact information for diction groups as well as mental health professionals that would be able to assist me and those situations. It is my position not to give counseling to anyone who needs more help than I can provide without referring them to the proper authorities in that field. My greatest hope as a Chaplain is to provide the most comfort an understanding to the person requesting my help.
