You're invited to attend the Wednesday meeting at 7p ET in person or on Zoom, November 27, 2024. The topic is: "God's allness destroys evil"
We'll hope you'll join us on Thanksgiving eve as we learn more about how God's allness destroys evil.
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science writes: "Christian Science reveals a necessity for overcoming the world, the flesh, and evil, and thus destroying all error." (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 10:12) The readings will include parables from Jesus illustrating how evil or error is destroyed.
Whatever the topic, the truth you need to hear, the inspiration you are seeking, will be heard because all communication is from all-knowing, all-loving God.
Quote: The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
(Psalms 129:4)
HYMNS
Hymn 201
O do not bar your mind
Against the light of good;
But open wide, let in the Word,
And Truth will be your food.
Truth will from error free
Your long enslaved mind,
And bring the light of liberty
Where it shall be enshrined.
Hid treasures it reveals
To all who know its power;
And all who will may light receive
In this most gracious hour.
Then open wide your heart
To Truth and Light and Love;
You then shall know your life is hid
With Christ in God above.
Hymn 258
Oft to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of Truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side.
A great cause, God’s new Messiah,
Shows to each the bloom or blight,
So can choice be made by all men
Twixt the darkness and the light.
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient creeds uncouth;
They must upward still and onward
Who would keep abreast of Truth,
And serenely down the future
See the thought of men incline
To the side of perfect justice
And to God’s supreme design.
Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet ’tis Truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above His own.
Hymn 144
In atmosphere of Love divine,
We live, and move, and breathe;
Though mortal eyes may see it not,
’Tis sense that would deceive.
The mortal sense we must destroy,
If we would bring to light
The wonders of eternal Mind,
Where sense is lost in sight.
For God, immortal Principle,
Is with us everywhere;
He holds us perfect in His love,
And we His image bear.
