Sunday morning service

The Sunday service has music, readings, hymns, and prayer. The heart of it is a Bible lesson read by two Readers with citations from the King James Bible and Science and Health. The topic and citations are published in the Christian Science Quarterly which you can buy at any Christian Science Reading Room. We call this our Lesson-Sermon because you can study the readings as a lesson during the week and then hear them read as a sermon on Sunday.

Wednesday evening meeting

​Wednesday evening meetings are similar to Sunday, but a bit less formal. The first half consists of readings the First Reader has put together specifically for that church service (from the same two books, we call them our “Pastor”). And the second half is open to testimonies from the congregation. Anyone in the audience can stand up and share a testimony of healing, or an insight or remark relating to their study of Christian Science. Sometimes there are quiet patches and sometimes you can’t get a word in edgewise.

The Scientific Statement of Being (Science and Health, p. 468)

There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.
