Our Mission

 

This Christian Science Church is one of the worldwide branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879. The Christian Science Church is “…designed to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing.” (Manual of The Mother Church by Mrs. Eddy. P. 17.)

Sunday School

 

Our Sunday School is provided for students up to the age of 20. Instruction, which includes the teachings and healings of Christ Jesus, is from the Bible and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy. Students are taught of God’s love for them and of the relevance of Jesus’ teachings to their lives.

Hymn selection ~ Wednesday, March 29

Hymn 476    

(Author Friedrich Preller)

 

Fearful heart, put all your cares

Completely in your dear God’s hands;

Love feeds you with Her great strength

And your faith will always stand.

Now as you go safely forward,

Walk securely in Love’s grace.

Give to God the praise and glory;

Fear and doubt have no more place.

 

Longing heart, don’t give up hope

When threats of evil overwhelm.

Love now keeps Her promise true,

God’s sure hand is at the helm.

Bringing joy when all seems darkness—

God will keep you safe, secure.

You go forward, loved and peaceful:

Victory is always sure.

Hymn 195                                       

(Words by Horatius Bonar)

 

Not what I am, O Lord, but what Thou art;

That, that alone can be my soul’s true rest;

Thy love, not mine, bids fear and
doubt depart,

And stills the tumult of my troubled breast.

 

Girt with the love of God, on every side,

I breathe that love as heaven’s own
healing air;

I work and pray, and follow still my guide,

And fear no foe, escaping every snare.

 

‘Tis what I know of Thee, my Lord and God,

That fills my soul with peace, my lips
with song;

Thou art my health, my joy, my staff, my rod;

I lean on Thee, in weakness I am strong.

Hymn 475                             

(Words by Mildred Spring Case)

 

Forget not who you are, O child of God,

For God demands of you reflection pure;

Your heritage is goodly, and your home,

In Spirit’s warm embrace, is safe, secure.

 

You are the child of Spirit, sinless, pure—

Yours is a perfect beauty, born of Soul—

Complete with health, vitality, and grace.

For is not God, your Father, perfect, whole?

 

Your understanding, too, comes straight from God.

For in that Mind, magnificent and clear,

You are conceived by Love, a perfect child,

Unhampered by the flesh, or doubt, or fear.

 

So now look up to God’s pure holy light

And greet with fearless joy each coming day.

Of royal birth, you are a King’s own child—

And God is yours, and you are God’s alway.
