. . . there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; . . .
—Isaiah 11:1, 2

GOLDEN TEXT
II Corinthians 9:15
Let us thank God for his priceless gift!
The Golden Text is from the Good News Translation in Today's English Version—Second Edition.
RESPONSIVE READING
Luke 1:39–41 Mary, 57, 67, 76–79 thou; I Corinthians 12:7–9 the, 11; 3:11, 23
Luke 1:39 . . . Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
57 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
76 . . . thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
I Cor. 12:7 . . . the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
I Cor. 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
23 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
Sunday School
Our Sunday School also begins at 10:00am and offers a loving, unpressured atmosphere for children and young people up to the age of 20.
Our Church Manual gives these instructions for the Sunday School lessons:
“The Sabbath School children shall be taught the Scriptures, and they shall be instructed according to their understanding or ability to grasp the simpler meanings of the divine Principle that they are taught. The first lessons of the children should be the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20: 3–17), the Lord's Prayer (Matt. 6: 9–13), and its Spiritual Interpretation by Mary Baker Eddy, Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5: 3–12). The next lessons consist of such questions and answers as are adapted to a juvenile class, and may be found in the Christian Science Quarterly Lessons, read in Church services. The instruction given by the children's teachers must not deviate from the absolute Christian Science contained in their textbook.”
Children too young for classes or services will be lovingly cared for in our Children’s Room.
Wednesday Evening Testimony Meeting
Everyone is welcome to our Wednesday evening meeting held at 7.30pm. The meeting begins with readings from the Bible and Science and Health that provide a healing message regarding issues affecting us, our communities, and the world. After the readings congregants are invited to share their healings and inspiration gained from prayer and the study of Christian Science. Like our Sunday Service, we sing hymns and pray at every meeting.
See below for the readings from the most recent meeting.
Childcare for infants and toddlers is available at all services.
