• 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

• OUR WEEKLY QUOTATION
• Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy p. 212: 17-5 (next page)
• " 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."
