SUMMARY:In-Person lecture: HOW TO MAKE CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
DESCRIPTION:How to Make Change for the Better\nA FREE Inspirational Talk\nby Janet Hegarty\n“I may not be an architect\, but I know the value of a strong foundation\,” begins Janet Hegarty\nMy life improved when I began building on new views of myself and my identity\, which sprang from a better concept of God than I’d had before. This better concept of God brought healing changes to my life in a way that was deep and lasting. \nBuilding this new foundation began when my mother-in-law introduced me to Christian Science. As I explored the ideas in the Bible and the Christian Science textbook\, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy\, I began to get a very different view of God. Never before had I encountered the idea that God is not merely sometimes good or just a little bit good\, but all good\, only good\, always. To think of God as pure goodness\, and to discover that this same all-good God was the source of what I am and what everyone is without exception\, was\, to me\, a new and life-changing way to think about existence. \nThese new ideas showed me the power of God\, divine goodness\, at work in all of our lives–providing solutions to challenges such as sickness\, dishonesty\, and career setbacks\, which often seem like they can shake our foundation and connection to what’s good. This had a practical effect in my own life\, bringing a quick healing of a long-standing food allergy. And\, as time has gone on\, this foundational understanding of God as pure good has transformed my life in many ways\, including the healing of a serious illness and the restoration of my career. \nI invite you to join me in discovering how you can establish your own strong foundation and experience the life-changing effects of building on this solid basis for yourself and the world at 11:00AM on Saturday\, June 21\, in Issaquah\, WA. The talk is free\, open to the community\, and hosted by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Issaquah at the Christian Science Reading Room ( 415 Rainier Blvd. N. in Issaquah). \nAbout Janet Hegarty\n \nI may not be an architect\, but I know the value of a strong foundation.

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
