Golden Text: ...God is love. -- I John 4:8 God is We hold Sunday services each week from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, constitute our dual pastor. The Sunday service includes hymns, selected readings from the Bible, and the healing word found in each week's Lesson-Sermon. Care for children under the age of three is provided during all of our services. Return to Contents We hold Sunday School for young people up to the age of 20. Classes are held at the same time as our Sunday service. Students focus initially on the Ten Commandments, Christ Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, and on the Lord's Prayer and its spiritual interpretation found in "Science and Health." As students' understanding of God and their relationship to Him grows, they also delve deeply into each week's Lesson-Sermon to discover its practical, healing application to their lives. Return to Contents We hold a mid-week service for an hour each Wednesday, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Topical readings from the Bible and from "Science and Health" anchor the service. But the congregation plays a key role as well. Members and visitors have an opportunity to share their gratitude for the practical effect of their deepening understanding of God through testimonies of healing or sharing experiences where they have witnessed the power of God active in their lives. Return to Contents We hold a service each Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November. The one-hour service includes a special Thanksgiving Lesson-Sermon and sets aside time for members and visitors to share their gratitude for God's blessings. The service begins at 10:00 a.m. Return to Contents Our Reading Room is a healing place for spiritual refreshment, for quiet prayer and study.
