In-person event: Effective prayer — Finding healing and wholeness in divine love

At this free talk, explore practical and transformative prayer, as taught in Christian Science. Through compelling personal stories, Bobby Lewis, a practitioner of Christian Science healing, illustrates how the spiritual laws of divine Love operate — and how prayer brings us into alignment with these laws. Whether you’re feeling lost or struggling with illness, effective prayer can restore clarity, peace and wholeness in every area of life. We welcome all faiths, interfaith groups, and college students. Come as early as 6:30 PM at the Reading
In-person event: The Science of God and its power to transform us
Misconceptions about ourselves and the world we live in are often corrected by advances in science which bring paradigm shifts to our ways of thinking and understanding existence — like discovering that the earth revolves around the sun, rather than the other way around. In this free talk, Nikki O'Hagan, a practitioner of Christian Science healing from County Kildare, Ireland, notes that the current matter-based scientific model leaves many questions unanswered and has some thinkers and scientists questioning if it is still the right model.
In-person and online event: Why everyone is needed
We each have an unbreakable connection to an all-good, all-loving God. In this free talk, James Shepherd, a practitioner of Christian Science healing from Eugene, Oregon, will discuss how how seeing that brings progress, hope, resolution and to all kinds of challenges our families, communities, and nations are facing today. We are all needed to live the basic concept of “loving your neighbor” — a shared value uniting the Abrahamic religions, other faiths, and all people.
In-person event: Healing with joy — discovering the power of Love
At this free talk, Ann Kneeland, a practitioner of Christian Science healing, explains how fear is dissolved, sickness is cured and difficult relationships are healed through a purely spiritual approach. This healing method is based upon understanding God as divine Love and our nature as the spiritual and perfect expression of our all-good creator. Real-life examples of healing will be explained, as well as practical, spiritual ideas which can be used immediately.
