- The Bible Lesson-Sermon, read each Sunday in all branch churches,
is comprised of references from the King James Version of
the Bible and from the Christian Science textbook,
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by
Mary Baker Eddy. Our Wednesday evening meetings
include testimonies of healing by people who have applied
Christian Science to every sort of human problem. You
will also hear of individual insights into Biblical
references and how they have instructed and guided people
to help them solve their everyday challenges. There is
child care at both services. Please join us. People of
all faiths (or no faith) are welcome.
- The Lesson-Sermon for Sunday, May 18th
is "Mortals and Immortals."
The Golden Text is from Romans: 8:14
- "For as many as are
led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."

the "Christian

- Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy p. 212: 17-5

- "
Mortals have a modus of their own, undirected and
unsustained by God. They procduce a rose through seed and
soil, and bring the rose into contact with the olfactory
nerves that they may smell it. In legerdemain and
credulous frenzy, mortals believe that unseen spirits
produce the flowers. God alone makes and clothes the
lilies of the field, and this He does by means of Mind,
not matter."
- "Because
all the methods of Mind are not understood, we say the
lips or hands must move in order to convey thorught, that
the undulations of the air convey sound, and possibly
that other methods involve so-called miracles. The
realities of being, its normal action, and the origin of
all things are unseen to mortal sense; whereas the unreal
and imitative movements of mortal belief, which would
reverse the immortal modus and action, are styled the
real. Whoever contradicts this mortal mind suposition of
reality is called a deceiver, or is said to be deceived.
Of a man it has been said, "As he thinketh in his
heart, so is he;" hence as a man spiritually understandeth,
so is he in truth."
