You're invited to attend the Wednesday meeting at 7p ET in person or on Zoom, April 24, 2024. The topic is: "Scientific translation of mortal mind"
The study of Christian Science helps us understand God and our relationship to God. As we let go of qualities like hate and revenge, and realize more patience and meekness, we recognize our actual connection to God's wisdom and love. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, explains this progression from the mortal or carnal unreal to the spiritual reality of the divine Mind, God, through her Christianly scientific translation of mortal mind. (See Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pp. 115-116) Wednesday's sermon explores this process and makes connections with the Bible and Jesus' teachings.
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.

HYMNS
Hymn 554
One by one, pure thoughts and holy
Lift us out of self and sin;
One by one, bright gleams of glory
Show the goal we all will win.
One by one, our trusts are strengthened,
As our lives to God we give;
One by one, our days are lengthened,
While in Love we move and live.
One by one, our aims grow purer,
As our deeds reflect our God;
One by one, our path grows clearer,
Guided by Love’s staff and rod.
One by one, our thoughts move forward
To the time by prophets told;
One by one, our lives move homeward
Singing of one Lord, one fold.
Then within Love’s ever-presence
We shall live amid its light,
Knowing well that holy brilliance
Which is called the Infinite.
Know the glories of God’s kingdom,
Hear the music Spirit sings,
Be at one with that great Wisdom
From which all creation springs.
Hymn 64
From sense to Soul my pathway lies before me,
From mist and shadow into Truth’s clear day;
The dawn of all things real is breaking o’er me,
My heart is singing: I have found the way.
I reach Mind’s open door, and at its portal
I know that where I stand is holy ground;
I feel the calm and joy of things immortal,
The loveliness of Love is all around.
The way leads upward and its goal draws nearer,
Thought soars enraptured, fetterless and free;
The vision infinite to me grows clearer,
I touch the fringes of eternity.
Hymn 529
Love divine, Your healing presence
Lifts us to the holy place,
Where we see Your whole creation
Filled with light and crowned with grace.
We Your children know Your glory,
See Your power from above
Sweep away the shade of darkness
With the healing tide of love.
Humble hearts accept Your blessing,
Turn from sorrow, want, and sin,
Turn the page, rewrite that story,
As the Christ is welcomed in.
Now we know our true relation,
Perfect God and perfect child,
We can live in joy and freedom,
Loved, and pure, and undefiled.
