In-person event: Be Set Free
February 13, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Whatever seems to stand between us and the full range of purposeful activity that we would like to have in our lives, the real impediment is not knowing how or where to access our God-given liberty from those things which make us feel vulnerable or victimize or overwhelmed or depressed or anxious.
Speaker Nicole Virgil, a practitioner of Christian Science healing, will examine liberty from a Biblical perspective and will include examples of how real people today find their freedom from all kinds of physical, emotional, and circumstantial restrictions that are clearly beyond their control so that they may Be Set Free!

About Nicole Virgil
From Nicole:
“My father was a free-lance church organist, and my parents attended services at almost every different Christian church around New England. Mom was constantly wanting to understand how to practice Christian healing just as Jesus did, and when she started attending Christian Science church services, she found what she was looking for. As a result, I had a wonderful upbringing in Christian Science, which cultivated within me a deep desire for an intimate relationship with God.
Growing up, I studied Christian Science with my mom and music with my dad, and found that both studies were helpful to each other. Christian Science healed performance anxiety, while learning music honed the skills I needed for spiritual practice — skills such as intuition, listening, patience and diligence. Throughout my life, Christian Science and music have always overlapped: After studying opera at music school, I took my one-woman opera review program (That Can’t Be Opera!) on the road, educating audiences about opera by singing Mozart, Puccini, and Menotti. Christian Science guided me through this entrepreneurial endeavor, just as it led me to start soloing in churches as a teenager (which is something I still love to do!) — and I eventually married, started a family with my husband, and entered the public practice of Christian Science so that I can share the deep and precious truths of the Bible’s healing messages for our daily lives.
Today I enjoy raising children, gardening, soloing in church, and witnessing the healing effect of Christian Science in all things. ”
