SUMMARY:In-person and online event: Why everyone is needed
DESCRIPTION: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 seeing that brings progress\, hope\, and resolution 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.\n_______________________________________________________________________ \nAbout James Shepherd\n \nFrom James:\n“God’s love is for everyone\, and a Christian Science lecture is a perfect setting to learn about God’s love and the healing that it brings. \n\nJames has seen the healing effects of God’s love since he was a youngster\, romping through the woods around his home with his three brothers. They had their share of scrapes and bruises which were quickly healed through prayer. On the rare occasions they felt sick\, they relied on Christian Science for quick healings. \nIn high school his family moved to a ranch where they had cattle\, horses\, sheep\, pigs\, chickens\, and turkeys. He graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree in agriculture\, but realized that serving as a Christian Science healer was the best way he could serve others. He left the ranch and took up the full-time work of helping others find healing through prayer. Thirty years later\, he still loves this work as much as ever. \nOver the years\, James has enjoyed being active in many roles in his local Church of Christ\, Scientist\, and has worked at summer camps for Christian Scientists and their friends. He has also shared the message of Love’s transforming power in prison settings and youth detention centers. When his four children were little\, he coached their sports programs. He finds other ways to help his community\, such as by volunteering at a neighborhood church to help cook a free breakfast for those in need. \nJames loves spending time with his family and doing any outdoor activity. But his greatest joy will always be to find\, and to help others find\, a more tangible sense of God’s love for everyone and how that improves every aspect of our lives.” \n\n  \n\n______________________________________________________________________ \nChild care will be available. Plenty of free parking.\nSnack food will be provided. \nThis event will be live-streamed and will be available for on-demand video replay through December 10\, at christiansciencefairfax.com. \nMore information: csfairfax@gmail.com \n\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.\n\n\n    \n\n\n        \n        \n                \n\n        \n\n        \n
