SUMMARY:In-Person lecture: BE SET FREE
DESCRIPTION:Be Set Free\nA FREE Inspirational Talk\nby Nicole Virgil\nTo live a life of liberty\, we have to find the nature and substance of liberty\, which is spiritual\, purposeful\, unburdened\, and given to all. To do that you have to know where to look\, to the source of liberty — God\, good itself\, all-inclusive.\nCircumstances often present what appear to be significant obstacles to living freely\, something that everyone wants to do\, says Nicole Virgil. Whatever it is that seems to stand between us and the full range of motion that we would like to have in our lives — it’s not so much the presenting impediment that is the problem — it’s not knowing how or where to access our God-given liberty. \nJoin us for this free Christian Science talk with international speaker and Christian Science healer\, Nicole Virgil on Saturday\, May 31\, at 11 a.m.\, at the Christian Science Church in Edmonds (551 Maple St\, Edmonds\, WA 98020) The talk is free\, open to the community\, and hosted by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Edmonds. \n“In this talk\,” says Nicole\, “we will examine liberty from a Biblical perspective; and see how real people today find their freedom from all kinds of physical\, emotional and circumstantial restrictions that seem clearly beyond their control so that they may Be Set Free.” \nAbout Nicole Virgil\n \nNicole’s father was a freelance church organist\, and her parents attended services at many different Christian churches in New England. Her mom had been on a years-long search to find out how to practice Christian healing just as Jesus did\, and when she started attending Christian Science church services\, she found what she was looking for. As a result\, Nicole was raised in Christian Science\, and developed a deep desire for an intimate relationship with God. \nNicole studied Christian Science with her mom and music with her dad\, and found that each discipline complemented the other. Christian Science healed performance anxiety\, while learning music honed the skills she needed for spiritual practice — skills such as intuition\, listening\, patience and diligence. \nThroughout her life\, Christian Science and music have always overlapped. After studying opera at music school\, she took her one-woman opera review program (That Can’t Be Opera!) on the road\, educating audiences about opera by singing Mozart\, Puccini and Menotti. \nChristian Science guided her through this entrepreneurial endeavor\, just as it led her to start soloing in churches as a teenager (which is something she still loves to do!). Nicole eventually married\, started a family with her husband\, and entered the public practice of Christian Science. \nToday Nicole enjoys raising children\, gardening\, soloing in church\, and witnessing the healing effect of Christian Science. \nThis free talk is sponsored by\nFirst Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Edmonds\, WA

SUMMARY:In-Person lecture: THE JOY OF BEGINNING WITH GOD
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mark McCurties. \nMark McCurties\, international speaker and Christian Science healer\, will speak on The joy of beginning with God\, at First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Edmonds (551 Maple Street)\, Saturday\, April 13 at 11 a.m. \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. \n“What causes disease? What causes inflation? What causes crime? What causes natural disasters? etc. However\, it’s helpful to note that these conversations are taking place from the point of view of physical causation\, physical or material causes and effects. \n“In 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. \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 Scriptureswritten 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. \n

SUMMARY:In-Person Lecture: Breaking News - Freedom is Ours Now
DESCRIPTION:Breaking News – Freedom is Ours Now\nA Free Christian Science Talk by Patricia Woodard\nThe little bird in my hand was free to fly away. We’d banded him as part of an Audubon Society effort and the time had come for his release. But even when I opened my hand to let him go\, he didn’t budge. What did he need? He just needed a little lift. When I gave him even the tiniest nudge upward\, off he flew. Free! What is it that gives this kind of lift to our lives? Good news\, for one thing. And what better news than the promise that health and freedom can be ours today. Yes\, today! \nMy lecture traces the origins of this good news to Christ Jesus’ ministry\, and then explores how the discovery of a 19th-century woman named Mary Baker Eddy—who found freedom from chronic illness and other struggles in her own life—shows the provable relevance of Jesus’ ministry in our lives today. What she discovered through this study she called Christian Science—a view of God and the universe that uplifts our thoughts\, changes our perspective to a spiritual viewpoint\, and heals. And it lifts all of us\, and can heal all of us. I’ll share the way Christian Science has brought healing to my own life\, rescuing me from a troubling situation with my teenage daughter\, and freeing me from the effects of an accident\, as well as examples of how it has helped others from different walks of life. The common thread through these experiences is the way a clearer view of the reality of our God-given wholeness also releases us from burdens in our lives and causes us to soar. Free! \n\n\n\n\nLocation: 551 Maple St\, Edmonds\, WA\nMore information: 425-778-4007\nchristianscienceedmonds.org | In-person and live-streamed\n\nSponsored by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Edmonds
