SUMMARY:In-Person lecture: NEVER ALONE: HOW SPIRITUAL IDEAS WORK IN US
DESCRIPTION:A FREE Inspirational Talk\nby Melanie Wahlberg\n“Ideas directly from God companion us\, bless us\, heal us\, and feel like home. They transform and impel our lives forward.”\nJoin us for this free Christian Science Talk with international speaker and Christian Science healer\, Melanie Wahlberg\, on Sunday\, June 30\, at 2 p.m. at First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, 1405 Federal Way\, in Sunnyside\, WA.\nDuring this inspiring hour\, Melanie will discuss what she’s found helpful in Christian Science healing — that “God loves us deeply\, is an active presence of good in our lives\, and provides fresh ideas about our spiritual nature that wipe away fear and reveal inspired solutions.”\nThe talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible\, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings\, and show how they are available for anyone to understand and experience. The talk is free\, open to the community\, and is sponsored by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Sunnyside. \n“In the middle of difficult circumstances\, it would be so reassuring to feel supported in our efforts for progress\, instead of feeling alone. In this talk\,” says Melanie\, “I discuss what I’ve found helpful in my practice of Christian Science healing: that God loves us deeply\, is an active presence of good in our lives\, and provides fresh ideas about our spiritual nature that wipe away fear and reveal inspired solutions. And I’ll share how this approach has transformed lives\, including a mother and her infant daughter who each experienced healing. With ideas from God working on our behalf this way\, we discover that we’re never truly alone.” \nMelanie will discuss the approach to spirituality and well-being that explains these ideas\, Christian Science\, and share examples of healing from her own life and the lives of others. She will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific\, meaning that anyone can prove its effectiveness for themselves. The practice is fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement\, Mary Baker Eddy. \n“Simple ideas\, about God’s nature and about our nature as expressions of God\, stir something new in our consciousness\,” adds Melanie. “They work in us in ways that change our lives and our health for the better.  But how do we find these healing ideas consistently?  We’ll look at the teachings of Christ Jesus\, our best and most practical example. And I’ll share how this approach has transformed lives\, including a mother and her infant daughter who each experienced healing. With ideas from God working on our behalf this way\, we discover that we’re never truly alone.” \nMelanie will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy\, a mid-nineteenth century woman from New England\, and how she came to understand\, confirm\, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand\, “He that believes on me\, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do\, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible). \nAbout Melanie Wahlberg\nTwo influences that Melanie will never forget were the Christian Science Sunday School and a mom who turned to prayer and encouraged her to do the same. These influences showed her something of the reliability of God and spiritual inspiration\, and trusting this helped her find her way growing up. Significant healing experiences with relationship and food issues\, and violence in the community\, were also unforgettable. From this\, Melanie got an idea of the many ways that Christian Science can transform lives. \nAfter finishing a doctorate in mathematics\, Melanie became a college professor and truly enjoyed teaching. She found that teaching was less about telling students something than facilitating the students’ discoveries of new concepts. There was nothing better than witnessing a reluctant student realize that a previously mystifying concept was actually within reach to anyone. \nBut the higher promise of Christian Science beckoned her to help people redeem and uplift their lives in a fuller way. When students came to her office for help with calculus\, Melanie and her students often found themselves talking about the joy and excitement of growing spirituality. After just two years at the college\, Melanie resigned from her position and began accepting calls as a Christian Science practitioner. She wrote articles for the Christian Science periodicals\, was a frequent guest on Sentinel radio\, and began advertising her practice in The Christian Science Journal in 2004. She and her husband also started a family. \nMelanie loves working from her home office in the Los Angeles area. She likes to see lives transformed by the healing ideas of Christian Science\, where we ourselves are helped and\, at the same time\, find we can help others. Her life as a mom has a lot of the same focus. And whether the spiritual ideas apply to health issues\, school\, social lives\, or sports\, her three kids push her to “keep it real.” \nThis free talk is sponsored by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Sunnyside\, WA.\nTop photo by Christelle Hayek on Unsplash

SUMMARY:In-Person lecture: THE JOY OF BEGINNING WITH GOD
DESCRIPTION:The Joy of Beginning with God\nA FREE Inspirational Talk\nby Mark McCurties \nHave you ever wondered what it means to start with God first?\nJoin us for this free Christian Science Talk with international speaker and Christian Science healer\, Mark McCurties on Saturday\, June 29\, at 11 a.m. at the Christian Science Reading Room\, 415 Rainier Blvd. N.\, in Issaquah \, WA.\nDuring this inspiring hour\, Mark will share his ideas on the spiritual law of causation\, or how to start with God and stay with God.\nSays Mark: “The very first verse of the Bible in the chapter Genesis offers the most wonderful news: ‘In the beginning\, God created the heaven and the earth.’ Part of what this glorious verse tells us is that in reality\, everything and everyone begins with God. In other words\, God is the only cause and the only creator\, and God is causing good and right developments for each one of us.”\n“Mary Baker Eddy\, the woman who founded the Christian Science church\, knew that this subject of causation\, cause and effect\, might just be the most important discussion of our time. In fact\, she boldly stated that making progress in the world depends on understanding cause and effect in the right way. She wrote: “Spiritual causation is the one question to be considered\, for more than all others spiritual causation relates to human progress.” (Science and Health p. 170:22–24) \n“To that point\, perhaps you’ve noticed that the world is talking nonstop about causation right now.\ \nIn this lecture\, I’m going to take a different approach. I’d like to talk about causation\, from a spiritual point of view. In other words\, what is God causing? What kind of effects does God’s causative power produce? The Bible promises that God is causing only good. So in this lecture\, I will explore how a better understanding of the good that God forever causes\, can help us to experience more of that goodness in the form of health\, peace\, and safety for our world. In the beginning\, from the beginning\, and without beginning\, God is causing good. As loved children of God\, we each have a divine right to feel the effect of that divine goodness in our daily lives. I invite you then\, to come learn more about the joy of beginning with God.” \n  \nAbout Mark McCurties\nEver since he was a little boy\, Mark had a deep love for the Bible. When he read about men and women in the Bible overcoming hatred\, famine\, war\, physical disease\, and other hardships\, their triumphs inspired him. It didn’t matter what the odds were\, or what conditions they faced\, individuals in the Bible seemed to flourish in adversity based on one common theme: their deep love for God. \nGrowing up in a Christian Science household\, there was another book that Mark loved to read daily: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures written by Mary Baker Eddy. The very purpose of her book is to help unlock and reveal the deeper divine meaning and inspiration of the Bible. Together the Bible and Science and Health point to the practical healing and saving power of God and its present availability for all mankind. Mark knew that someday he wanted to share that healing message with the world. \nAs he grew into adulthood\, experiences in the field of education as a summer camp director\, outdoor educator\, athletics coach\, and resident counselor all helped to develop his understanding and practice of Christian Science. While working with young people\, Mark had multiple opportunities to witness God’s healing power. These examples proved to him that the healing power of the Christ is just as alive and relevant today as for the men and women of the Bible. In 2010\, with a desire to focus solely on healing through prayer\, Mark entered the full-time public practice of Christian Science. \nThis free talk is sponsored by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Issaquah\, WA.\nSunrise photo by Ivana Cajina on Unsplash

SUMMARY:In-Person Lecture and Livestream: FINDING WHERE GOD IS SEEN AND FELT — WHAT’S CHURCH GOT TO DO WITH IT?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Emra Farkas. \nEmra Farkas\, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker\, will present her talk\, “Finding where God is seen and felt – what’s church got to do with it?” on Saturday\, June 15\, at 11 a.m. at the Christian Science church at 841 Lake Washington Blvd. NE in Bellevue\, WA. \nThe talk also will be livestreamed. To attend remotely\, go to csbellevue.org and tap “Free Talk” under “Ongoing Events.” \nEmra’s talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible\, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings\, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free\, open to the community\, and hosted by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Bellevue. \n“A new kind of thinking is needed to recognize that God’s goodness and love are actually here and tangible to all humanity everywhere\,” says Emra. “The idea of ‘church’ can shift from being a physical building\, a set time on a particular day\, or an assembly of perfect humans (does that even exist??)\, to that of being what God builds in our lives every moment through us responding to Christ Jesus’ message of God’s all-powerful love.” \nSharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science\, Emra will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific\, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves\, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement\, Mary Baker Eddy. \nEmra will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy\, who came to understand\, confirm\, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand\, “He that believes on me\, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do\, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible). \nFor over 150 years\, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today\, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties. \nAbout Emra Farkas \nThe most important influences on Emra’s life were her mother\, who taught her to pray when confronted with difficulties\, and her Christian Science Sunday School. In her teens\, when a teacher asked her to speak to a social studies class about her religion\, she found the joy that comes from sharing what she understood and had experienced of Mary Baker Eddy’s discovery. She was asked back each year and was always moved by the way students who were skeptical about the subject became interested after hearing her accounts of spiritual healing–her healings of a severed thumb\, tonsilitis\, swimmer’s ear\, bullying\, and other difficulties. \nHowever\, during college and graduate school she drifted away from church. Her degrees were in Fine Arts and after school she worked for galleries and museums in New York City. Her interest in finding spiritual answers to life’s challenges was rekindled\, and she explored a variety of spiritual disciplines in search of answers. This hands-on study of comparative religion helped her understand the universality of the search for spiritual truth but left her with unanswered questions. \nShe and her husband moved to Taos\, New Mexico\, where she enjoyed a career in music performance and started a family. After some years of poor health\, a sudden spiritual insight led her back to Christian Science and an instantaneous healing of multiple chronic illnesses. This inspired a deeper study of Eddy’s writings which then led to returning to church\, taking Christian Science class instruction (a two-week intensive course of study) and shortly after\, becoming a full-time Christian Science practitioner.  She says there is nothing more satisfying than seeing divine Truth and Love transform lives and bring healing. She feels deeply blessed to practice and teach Christian Science\, contribute to the Christian Science periodicals\, serve her branch church\, and serve as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

SUMMARY:In-Person lecture: FINDING TRUST IN A CHANGING WORLD
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lesley Pitts. \nLesley Pitts\, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker\, will present her talk\, “Finding trust in a changing world\,” on May 25 at 11 a.m. at the Christian Science Church at 725 N. 6th Street in Mt. Vernon\, WA. \nThe talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible\, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings\, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free\, open to the community\, and hosted by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Mt. Vernon. \n“Finding a spiritual basis of trust enables us to turn to a divine presence whenever we need it\,” says Lesley. “The love\, goodness\, and intelligence of God never change and are always available. The more we discover of God’s love and care for us\, the more we can confidently turn to this divine presence and find our lives transformed and healed – and our families\, communities\, and the whole world benefit\, too. Anyone can learn how to lean into God’s trustworthiness.” \nSharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science\, Pitts will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific\, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves\, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement\, Mary Baker Eddy. \nPitts will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy\, who came to understand\, confirm\, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand\, “He that believes on me\, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do\, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible). \nFor over 150 years\, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today\, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties. \nAbout Lesley Pitts \nIt was during high school that the direction of Lesley’s life changed. Although she was raised as a Christian Scientist\, it wasn’t until she experienced the joy of helping someone during a youth club outing that Lesley finally understood what it took to love unselfishly. This set her on a new path. She became aware that nursing qualities of willing service\, patience\, gentleness\, and compassion were expressed all around her as she grew up and that she wanted to live them\, too. They’ve woven themselves into every activity she has undertaken since then. \nFor example\, Lesley served as a Christian Science nurse for more than 30 years\, mostly in the United Kingdom. This work brought her to Boston in the United States to work in the Christian Science Nursing Activities department. Later\, she was part of the team that established The Mary Baker Eddy Library. Her nursing qualities were put to good use in organizing and caring for its collections–shared with the public for the first time. She served as Executive Manager and President of the Library for six years. \nWorking at the Library and becoming more familiar with Eddy’s remarkable accomplishments as the founder of a religious movement increased Lesley’s desire to better practice Christian Science in her own life and help others through her healing practice and lecturing. \nLesley believes that her unusual career path illustrates the idea that following God’s lead is a more trustworthy foundation for living than relying on society’s expectations or other people’s opinions. \nTop photo by Sylvain Mauroux on Unsplash

SUMMARY:Friday Program - The Mother Church's First Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:What did they talk about at the first few Mother Church Annual Meetings? Our dive into Reading Room resources this week will take us to a period when things were really hopping\, including: a new order of church services\, the building of The Mother Church\, a change in Friday meetings (yes\, Friday) to “experience meetings\,” and sermons from a new Pastor\, the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. We’ll consult Christian Science Journals from the 1890s\, at least two books\, and The Mary Baker Eddy Library website.

Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand\, “He that believes on me\, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do\, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible). \nFor over 150 years\, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today\, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties. \nAbout Lesley Pitts \nIt was during high school that the direction of Lesley’s life changed. Although she was raised as a Christian Scientist\, it wasn’t until she experienced the joy of helping someone during a youth club outing that Lesley finally understood what it took to love unselfishly. This set her on a new path. She became aware that nursing qualities of willing service\, patience\, gentleness\, and compassion were expressed all around her as she grew up and that she wanted to live them\, too. They’ve woven themselves into every activity she has undertaken since then. \nFor example\, Lesley served as a Christian Science nurse for more than 30 years\, mostly in the United Kingdom. This work brought her to Boston in the United States to work in the Christian Science Nursing Activities department. Later\, she was part of the team that established The Mary Baker Eddy Library. Her nursing qualities were put to good use in organizing and caring for its collections–shared with the public for the first time. She served as Executive Manager and President of the Library for six years. \nWorking at the Library and becoming more familiar with Eddy’s remarkable accomplishments as the founder of a religious movement increased Lesley’s desire to better practice Christian Science in her own life and help others through her healing practice and lecturing. \nLesley believes that her unusual career path illustrates the idea that following God’s lead is a more trustworthy foundation for living than relying on society’s expectations or other people’s opinions. \nTop photo by Sylvain Mauroux on Unsplash
