I.               Read Sing To The Lord: Music In Divine Worship prior to church visitation. It is very important that you read the book first! It will serve as a guide for your observations.

II.             Attend the Catholic church of your choice. You may attend one of the masses on campus but the preference is to attend a mass in a dedicated ‘worship’ space.

III.           Take notes during the mass.  Try to find that delicate balance of being both a participant and observer. If you are Catholic, try to observe with fresh eyes rather than go through the motion. In fact, you may want to attend a Mass that is entirely different from your normal.

IV.            Collect material from the church: bulletin, liturgy program, photos of space etc.

V.            Take pictures of the inside, outside of church; include a selfie.

VI.              Reflect upon your experience and observations in a 4 page, double-spaced, 12 pt paper.

VII.            Critical: Draw connections between material in the book and your own observations and experiences. CITE page and paragraph in your reflection.  Ex. (page 15, 3^rd paragraph)

VII.         Save ALL materials in ONE DOCUMENT and export as a PDF.
