Question
As part of this course in comparative religions, each student is asked to attend a religious service different from their own. Students are free to visit any church, synagogue, mosque, or temple in their locality. Please answer the following questions as thoroughly as possible in your own words. Since this is an informal report, it does not require documentation unless you use direct quotation within the paper. This paper should be 2–3 pages in length. Feel free to add any thoughts and/or feelings you had after the visit.
Did the exterior of the worship facility add to the overall religious feeling of the visit? Describe your first impression as you pulled up to the building. Did the architecture lend itself to worship? Add specific details to support your answer.
Describe the nature of the worship facility service you saw. This will probably be the longest section of the report, so be as thorough as possible. For example, what was the overall religious program? What was the theme of the message for that day? Were there any rituals that struck you as different from your own? Elaborate.
What was your overall reaction to the service? Was it positive or negative? Did any members of the congregation talk to you, and if they did, what was the nature of the conversation?

For those people who see outward appearence , if the exterior is not good, they do not get any religious feeling.
Cleanliness is next only to Godliness.God should be worshipped as God only.He is a king.So everything should be right.If the architecture is depicting the power of God, then definitely it will create religious feeling.
2. Describe the nature of the worship facility service you saw. This will probably be the longest section of the report, so be as thorough as possible.

It was a church program.People are very orderly.It was a thanks giving worship.The theme of the message was " giving thanks to GOD for all his benefits."The church members care for each other and spent time with each other after the service which I did not find in some other place.
3.What was your overall reaction to the service? Was it positive or negative? Did any members of the congregation talk to you, and if they did, what was the nature of the conversation?
It was positive.Yes , so many members of the congregation spoke to me as if I am their family member.They spoke to me regarding the benefits I get from GOD if I toally lean on GOD.They offered to help me in all of my problems.
