Services
Sunday Church Services: 10-11 am (held in person, upstairs)
The Christian Science pastor is the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy. Each week the Sunday morning service includes hymns, a Scriptural selection, prayer, a solo, and the reading of the Bible Lesson-Sermon by readers who are elected from the membership. The Bible Lesson is available for study during the week and consists of related passages from the Bible and Science and Health. The same Bible Lesson is read in all Christian Science churches around the world, in a variety of languages.
Wednesday Testimony Meetings: 7:30-8:30 pm (hybrid: held in person, downstairs in the Sunday School, enter rear lower door; also available by Zoom)
Each Wednesday the First Reader presents short readings from the Bible and Science and Health on a timely topic, after which attendees share healings that they have experienced and inspirational ideas that they have gained through their study of Christian Science.
Sunday School: 10-11 am (held in person, downstairs, rear lower door)
Children and teenagers are warmly invited to participate in Sunday School classes, which meet at the same time as the Sunday morning service. The curriculum is based on the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and the weekly Christian Science Bible Lesson. Through weekly discussions, students learn how to apply the ideas in the Bible and Science and Health to their everyday lives. Anyone under the age of 20 is welcome to drop in any Sunday. No previous knowledge of Christian Science is necessary. To see what the weekly Bible Lesson looks like, go to www.christianscience.com/publications-and-activities/bible-lessons. Older students may find topics to discuss online at www.christianscience.com/youth.
Thanksgiving service: 10-11 am on Thanksgiving Day each year (held upstairs)
All are welcome to this service which includes hymns, a Bible Lesson, and sharing of gratitude by the congregation. Like our Sunday services, it is available in-person only.
