Sunday Service: 10 - 11 a.m.
Appealingly simple, the Sunday Service includes hymns, Bible readings, silent prayer, and a Bible Lesson, which is read to the congregation as a "Lesson-Sermon." Each week's Bible Lesson is comprised of passages from the Bible and explanatory passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy. The citations for the Bible Lesson are published in the Christian Science Quarterly and are studied throughout the prior week by many people in the church congregation and in the Sunday School.
Sunday School: 10 - 11 a.m.
The Sunday School is a lively place where young people from 3 through 19 years of age are taught the Bible and its practical applications, including how to pray effectively and to love and depend upon God as "a very present help" (Psalms 46:1). Students learn to understand the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, the Sermon on the Mount, and the Christian Science Quarterly Bible Lesson. They also learn to adore and follow Christ Jesus and to explore practical, Christian, prayer-based solutions to everyday problems.
Wednesday meeting: 7:30 - 8:30 p.m.
This is an inspiring gathering of people in the community, coming together for hymns, Bible readings with explanatory passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, and a time for anyone attending to relate experiences of spiritual healing.
Thanksgiving Service: 10 - 11 a.m., Thanksgiving Day
Held only once a year, this special Thanksgiving Service is a joyful celebration of God's love and care. It includes hymns and a Thanksgiving Bible Lesson, which is read to the congregation as a "Lesson-Sermon." It also includes a time for those in the congregation to be able to publicly speak of their gratitude for God's blessings.
