Lecture: Prayer and Resurrection
2020-06-28 17:00 - 18:00
Speaker: Nate Frederick, C.S.
When we face loss, is there a way to resurrect to a life of security, peace and well-being? This lecture explores examples of how prayer can restore health to our mind, body and relationships in the most difficult situations. The talk introduces the basics of Christian Science practice. It shows how prayer, based on Jesus’ teachings and example, helps individuals experience the Christ—the transforming communication and presence of God—without the need to encounter Jesus, or any other human for that matter, physically. The lecture will conclude with a Q&A.

Lecture: How Spiritual Ideas Work in Us
2020-06-04 18:00 - 19:00
Speaker: Melanie Wahlberg, CS -Lake Forest, California
Lecture: How Spiritual Ideas Work in Us
Time: 6:00 pm Date: June 4, 2020

Melanie 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, their three teenagers push her to “keep it real.”
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, Melanie discusses what she’s found helpful in her 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.
By turning to God for help, we open up to divine ideas and feel the presence of God in tangible ways, ways that change our lives and our health for the better. She calls this healing.
During the talk, Melanie will explore God as Spirit, Love, and Mind, rather than as a man-like figure making arbitrary decisions about our lives. This divine Mind is the one source of all good and true ideas. So God’s thoughts remind us of our spiritual identity, guide us to express more love, and show us our divine intelligence.
She will talk about Christ Jesus’ teachings in the Bible as being the best example of how to heal by listening to these ideas. And she delves into Mary Baker Eddy’s book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, as the explanation of Christian Science healing based on Christ Jesus’ life. Melanie will give examples of how this healing approach has trans-formed lives, including a mother and her infant daughter who experienced physical healing. The mother said, “It felt like the ideas themselves did the work.”

Afraid about COVID-19 impacting you, family or friends?
Searching for a sense of safety, refuge or peace of mind?
Then this talk is for you.
In today’s heightened concerns about our health security, Michelle Nanouche, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, presents a live online talk.
“Finding your immunity from disease” – a live 40 min webinar with 20 min Q&A
May 16th, 11am PT
The 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 sponsored by First Church of Christ, Scientist, Palo Alto CA

Michelle Nanouche, CSB, Practitioner & Lecturer

“This talk shares a reassuring message: the prayer that reduces fear brings out one’s natural immunity to disease and heals the symptoms of disease,” says Nanouche.
Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Nanouche 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.
Nanouche will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, a mid-nineteenth century woman from New England, 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).
For 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.
Michelle Nanouche has been a practitioner of Christian Science healing for many years, helping people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer. Based in Paris, France, she speaks to audiences around the world as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. For more about Michelle Nanouche, see michellenanouchecsb.com

Lecture: Humility that Overcomes the World
2020-04-30 16:30 - 17:30
April 30 7:30 ET from Midland Michigan
Mark McCurties “Humility that Overcomes the World”
To Join: 1-929-205-6099 then enter 469 627 941 or zoom.us/j/118431045

Speaker: Mark McCurties, CS — One of the central themes of Christ Jesus’ ministry was to teach and show that the power of God’s love can help us to overcome the various injustices that we face in the world. In fact, Jesus fully proved the power of God’s might. He healed all kinds of disease, transformed the worst types of behavior, he stopped violent acts from occurring, and he forgave his enemies in order to save them, proving hatred to be powerless in the face of divine Love. Ultimately, Jesus showed that the power of God’s love doesn’t just help us to cope with the ills of the world; it helps us to conquer them.
Yet, for all the remarkable healing work that Jesus did, he never once took the credit. Instead he always gave the glory and honor to God, our Father in heaven. So sincere was Jesus in his expression of humility that he even said, “I can of my own self do nothing” (John 5:30). In other words, Christ Jesus, the Son of God, who overcame all the ugliness that the world could throw at him, said (in essence), the good that I do isn’t personal to me; it’s the Father working through me.
Mary Baker Eddy, the woman who founded the Christian Science church, perceived the powerful impact that Jesus’ humility had on his healing and saving mission. She wrote, “Great charity and humility is necessary in this work of healing. The loving patience of Jesus, we must strive to emulate.” (Miscellaneous Writings 7:7-9)
In this lecture, we will discuss how learning to follow the example of Christ Jesus, particularly his profound display of humility, can empower each one of us to heal and to overcome the hard problems that we face. We will discuss what true humility is, how it links us to God, and by extension, how it connects us with God’s healing and saving laws. There is great need for healing in the world today, and Christ-like humility can help us to meet that demand.
