SUMMARY:In-person event: The Science of God and its power to heal us
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIn 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. \nA shift in thought begins with questions such as: How does science relate to God? Is there a science that explains God? Nikki will address these questions and show how the Science of God explains Jesus’ healings and teachings\, makes God knowable and understandable\, and provides humanity with a safe and reliable means for caring for ourselves and each other. \n\n \nAbout Nikki O’Hagan\n\n \n\nFrom Nikki:\n“Nikki grew up in South Africa where she gained a love for being outdoors and enjoying the beauty and promise of nature. From a young age she had a strong desire to not just experience life\, but to understand it. She used to exasperate her dad by following up every explanation he gave her by asking “but\, Why?” While Nikki did grow up attending Christian Science Sunday School\, as a teen she decided that this would not be the way for her to gain the understanding of life that she was seeking\, and she headed off in another direction. \nSeveral years followed in which she desperately tried to find happiness and to understand the Why of life. She looked everywhere and tried everything (even jumping out of an airplane!) but nothing brought answers\, happiness or lasting peace. Rather than finding an understanding of life\, it all seemed to just get darker and make less and less sense. \nAnd then a transformational healing brought her back to Christian Science\, where she found comfort\, peace\, mercy\, happiness\, harmony\, health\, and home in the arms of divine Love. Nikki then discovered that she loved the infallible logic of the Science of Christianity\, and found in it all the answers to her Whys. Life and God finally began to make sense and became full of joy\, light\, and love. Her gratitude for this pivotal healing\, and the salvation it brought her by setting her on the path of Christian Science\, was–and still is–unbounded. Since that time all she has wanted to do is love and serve God\, and love and serve others. \nThrough her study and practice of Christian Science\, Nikki has experienced and witnessed so many healings over the years. Her earnest desire is for all to know the transformational healing power of divine Love. Becoming a Christian Science practitioner was a natural step in fulfilling this desire. \nNikki looks forward to sharing with others\, through the lecturing work\, the subjects most precious and dear to her heart: God and Christian Science.” \n\n\n\n \n\nChild care will be available — for age 5 years and under. \nParking: free on-street parking on Massachusetts Avenue NW and 46th Street NW.\nPublic transportation: Metro (Red line) to Tenleytown station\, D96 bus stops directly at the church. \nMore information:  202.363.3853 or 6thrrdc@gmail.com \n\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.

SUMMARY:In-person event:  Learning to love your enemies
DESCRIPTION:Is someone in your life hard to love? Loving others\, including those who may feel like enemies\, can sometimes feel impossible. Hear how Christian Science proves that loving your enemies is not only possible\, it is natural. Come hear how to act with love and not with hate. You’ll hear how love replaces anger\, hurt\, and injustice with freedom\, forgiveness\, and peace. Giulia Nesi Tetreau\, a worldwide Christian healer from Fairfield\, Connecticut\, will tell you how she helps others on a daily basis through a scientific approach to prayer which brings about positive results. \nPreceding her talk\, enjoy a brief program of live holiday music. \n_______________________________________________________________________ \nAbout Giulia Nesi Tetreau\n \nFrom Giulia:\n“I’ve always loved people—their life stories\, struggles\, successes.  I regularly meet individuals actively cultivating their spiritual life.  And I love sharing Science and Health with them! \nI see much of my own journey in these seekers.  A few years into my career in the mental health field\, despite having achieved professional success\, I felt empty inside.  I had everything I’d been taught would make me happy but instead was dissatisfied and restless\, yearning for something deeper.  That’s when I was introduced to Christian Science through Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, by religious reformer\, Mary Baker Eddy.  In it\, I found a shared sacred space with the author and experienced a profound sense of coming home. \nSome years later\, I was compelled to leave my psychotherapy practice to focus completely on my Christian Science healing practice.  It was an imperative demand from within me—I had to be true to myself. “His word is in my heart like a fire…I am weary of holding it in.”* I needed to practice in the way I understood would be most helpful. \nSince then\, sharing the revolutionary message contained in the pages of Science and Health has been the cornerstone of my life.  I helped oversee the worldwide activity of bringing the book to a wider public audience.  I also managed a special project established to respond to the growing interest from healthcare professionals in learning more about Christian Science. I’ve lectured to the public in a variety of settings and venues\, from prisons to professional healthcare audiences and everything in between. I love all of it! \nWhat a special opportunity Christian Science lectures provide for opening the way for the spiritual seeker in all of us to learn\, grow\, and heal.  I welcome all inquiries!” \n______________________________________________________________________ \nOn-street parking. \nMore information: 202.363.3853 or  6thCSChurchDC@gmail.com

SUMMARY:In-person event:  Moving past fear — to healing
DESCRIPTION:MOVING PAST FEAR – TO HEALING\nCan fear be overcome — even healed — in our lives? \nChristian Science speaker and healer Lisa Troseth will speak about how she discovered our strong connection to something bigger than ourselves. Learning to lean on this greater\, higher good\, we can feel moved to love beyond ourselves—and this frees us from fear\, and changes our lives. \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_______________________________________________________________________ \nLocation: Church\, 4601 Massachusetts Ave NW\, Washington\, D.C. \nMore information: 202-966-2565 | http://6thchurchdc.org \nSponsored by 6th Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Washington\, D.C. \n

SUMMARY:Event: Learn to pray and heal (a spiritual adventure)
DESCRIPTION:Are prayer and healing for you? If you have no experience with spirituality or religion\, or you’re not even sure what you think about God\, can you still pray and be healed? Nate Frederick\, a practitioner of Chrstian Science healing\, will share more about the fundamentals of effective prayer\, as he has learned from studying Christian Science\, as well as how healing is truly possible for everyone: \nAre prayer and healing for you? I mean\, if you have no experience with spirituality or religion\, or you’re not even sure what you think about God\, can you still pray and be healed? \nYes. Because prayer and healing are natural to us\, and I say this as one who didn’t even grow up in a religious household. But what I’ve discovered as I’ve studied Christian Science is that a willingness to shift perspectives\, to see things in a new\, more spiritual way\, has an effect–for anyone. \nLike in the case of an inmate I worked with. As I shared the basics of Christian Science with him he said it all sounded great but he was just a bad person. He seemed pretty convinced that healing wasn’t for him. But as we talked about the fact that he wasn’t defined by his past\, but by God\, his source\, who is completely good\, I could tell his thought about himself was changing. \nAnd then he wanted more. So he took a copy of the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s book\, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, back to his cell and started to dive into these books. Six or seven weeks later\, I ran into him again and he told me that he’d been healed of a serious illness–just from studying the Bible and Science and Health. His study helped him grasp God and his life in a new way and his disease was cured. \nIn my lecture\, I’ll share more about the fundamentals of effective prayer\, as I’ve learned from studying Christian Science\, as well as how healing is truly possible for everyone. \nJoin us in person at the Sixth Church of Christ\, Scientist or join us online as we livestream via Zoom or via phone at 301.715.8592\,  meeting ID 869 4807 2576\, passcode 994355. \nSponsored by: 6thChurchDC.org.\nVenue: Sixth Church of Christ\, Scientist\n(see details and map\, below)\nMore information: 202.363.3853 \n \nYou are invited!\nThe Christian Science churches in the Washington Metro area provide many inspirational and uplifting events throughout the year.
