SUMMARY:In-person event: Moving past fear — to healing
DESCRIPTION:Are you feeling afraid? \nFear can be overcome and even healed in our lives by discovering the strong connection and relationship we have to something bigger than ourselves — God. By learning to lean and rely on this greater\, higher good\, we can feel moved to love beyond ourselves—and this frees us from fear and changes our lives. Christian Science speaker and healer Lisa Troseth will explain how she did this and how you can too. \n___________________________________________ \nAbout Lisa Troseth\n \n“What should I do with my life?” Lisa asked herself. “I often wondered during my early twenties. I wasn’t sure where I was headed\, but I was praying to be of service to humanity. That’s when it occurred to me: If we’re motivated by love in whatever we’re doing\, even if our efforts seem small on the surface\, then we’ll be living in accord with a power that genuinely makes a difference—the power of God\, which the Bible says is Love itself. \nAt the time\, I’d begun to really open my heart to God and was learning from the study of Christian Science that the nature of our divine Creator is infinitely loving and we’re designed to express God’s love in beautiful and unique ways. It’s like each of us\, including our daily endeavors\, are made to be an artistic tapestry of divine Love. \nThis idea still inspires me each day to see and treat everyone I meet with love\, to acknowledge their God-derived value\, beauty\, and uniqueness. Christian Science has shown me how letting a truer sense of God’s all-defining love govern how we interact and genuinely care for each other leads the way to useful ideas and purposeful action and improves society. Since my twenties\, I’ve seen how these views have led me\, and others\, in a variety of fruitful endeavors that bring genuine healing where it’s needed most. \n“Along the way\, I’ve worked with educational non-profits\, contributed to community art events\, participated in interfaith programs\, and served as a Christian Science nurse.  I am now in the full-time healing ministry as a Christian Science practitioner and teacher.” \n_______________________________________________________________________ \nYou are invited! \nThe Christian Science churches in the Washington Metro area provide many inspirational and uplifting events throughout the year. These events include lectures\, online webinars\, book talks\, seminars and workshops on the Bible and Christian Science. Events are free unless a charge is mentioned. \nAll of our events are based on the teachings from the Bible. They illustrate how to incorporate the study of Scripture in our daily lives. Each featured speaker shares ideas for practicing and living these timeless truths. \nDiscover how to heal and find solutions through the daily practical application of the teachings of Christian Science and the Bible. Learn about spiritual healing in the many free events offered\, and don’t forget to check our calendar often! \n_______________________________________________________________________ \nChild care will be available. \nMore information: csspringfield@gmail.com \n\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.

SUMMARY:In-person event:  How to Make Change for the Better
DESCRIPTION:Have you asked yourself who you really are?\nOr why you are here? Can you really find peace and happiness? Do you need a change for the better? If so\, do you know what is needed to achieve these changes? \nSpeaker Janet Hegarty left uncertainty behind after finding a spiritual basis for joy.  When her mother-in-law gave her a special book\, Janet began to see herself in a whole new way. \n \n“Never before had I encountered the idea of God as pure goodness\,” she said. \nAs Janet studied this book\, she began to discover that this same all-good God was the source of what she was and what everyone really is\, without exception. This changed her life profoundly\, showing her how the power of divine goodness was at work in her life:  It provided solutions to challenges including sickness\, dishonesty\, and career setbacks\, which often seemed like they could shake her foundation and her connection to what’s good. \nThis power of divine goodness had another practical effect\, too\, bringing her quick healing of a long-standing food allergy. \nThe special book that Janet Hegarty’ mother-in-law gave her was the Christian Science textbook\, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy\, which spiritually interprets the Bible in a timeless\, practical way. \n_______________________________________________________________________ \nAbout Janet Hegarty\n \nAs an undergraduate\, I studied music composition at Washington University in St. Louis. Then\, I moved to Chicago\, where I earned a master’s degree in music. At about the same time\, I was introduced to Christian Science and began finding the answers to my questions about identity\, purpose\, and health. This has made a huge difference in my life. \nFor the next several years\, I composed and produced original music for theatre productions and film. Later\, my husband\, Jim\, and I had a music production company\, producing music for radio\, television\, and other media. \nThroughout this time\, I continued to apply the spiritual ideas I was learning to every facet of my life. My growing understanding of the way Christian Science explains existence took the mystery out of living and removed much fear. This new light so changed my life that it stirred in me a desire to help others find spiritual answers. I left the music business in 1994 to enter the full-time Christian Science healing practice\, and in 2009 I became a Christian Science teacher. \nMy life has been transformed from living in fear for my health and uncertainty about the future to feeling secure in the spiritual basis for health and having a joyous expectation of good in the future. This transformation showed me the life-changing power of God’s goodness and the healing that results from understanding our oneness with God. These ideas have been useful to me in my healing work\, and I love sharing them in my prison ministry\, with interfaith groups\, and in the public talks I give on Christian Science. \nMore information: clerkcsspringfield@gmail.com or 703.941.7540.
