Explanatory notes for the students
This assignment then entails two parts: focus on the quality of the fellowship and report on it and
then implement strategies to improve it.

Part one: Observe
The Learner is required to use the same Church identified as their workplace. Observe and describe
the existing relationships in the faith community in the following steps:

Draft a checklist to be used in the faith community to gauge fellowship and level of support. The student is required to develop their own checklist to measure fellowship. For instance: What is the level of trust that congregation members have in their spiritual leaders etc?
Interact with members of the Church utilizing a variety of modes of interaction (visitations, group meetings, leadership meetings) over a period of at least two months. It is important to arrange these meetings with the workplace evaluator/mentor. Never ask questions that may jeopardize the current leadership or relationships. Keep a written record of all the interactions as part of your portfolio of evidence.
Evaluate the state of the relationships and the level of mutual support and sense of belonging. This requires that the student write a short evaluation of the overall state of relationships as observed over two months. Evaluation can be more or less 3 to 4 paragraphs in total.
