Reading Through The Christian Science Textbook
We have a regular Reading Room project for a group read-through of the Christian Science Textbook: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. You can join us in person or online. This takes place every other week on a Tuesday at 12 noon. If you would like to attend, or would like further information, please contact us using the form below.
Reading The Weekly Bible Lesson
Every Friday morning at 10:30am, a group gets together on a Zoom call to read the week’s Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly.
Two books are central to Christian Science. The first important point, or religious tenet, of Christian Science is:
As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life.
(Science and Health p497)
Our textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, contains the complete Science of Mind-healing, and helps us understand the Bible.
These two books are our only Pastor.
