Online - Good Friday Talk - Our walk to Emmaus
2025-04-18 16:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
4:30 p.m. Pacific Time

Inspirational organ music begins a 4:20 p.m.

Brian Webster, Speaker

Shortly after Jesus’ crucifixion, two of his disciples left Jerusalem for Emmaus wondering if the mission of Jesus had failed. They thought the Messiah had died on the cross. They were in for a big surprise. Have we fallen into thinking that the glory days of Christian Science are over, and that our ability to practice it is becoming a thing of the past? This Easter we will explore some modern-day parallels in this talk titled “Our Walk to Emmaus.”

You are invited to remain after this Good Friday talk for a Q&A with Brian.

San Diego, CA - In-person Lecture - How spiritual perception brings healing
2025-05-28 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Alexandre Fischer, Speaker

Practicing litigation law in France and the United States for several years informed Alex’s practice of Christian Science. The law was not just his job, it was his passion. To Alex, being a good lawyer meant exercising the ability to think precisely and feeling a desire to help others get out of trouble.

Gradually, he gave up his law practice to become a full-time Christian Science practitioner. Alex still works to help others “get out of trouble,” that is, to overcome a sense of limitation and to find freedom.

Christian Science helps us understand our relationship with God, infinite good, more clearly. Its teachings help us see Christ Jesus’ message in a non-dogmatic way, bringing healing, harmony and freedom to our life. Through healing and lecturing, Alex works to enable others to find this same freedom.

Fischer is a Christian Science practitioner from France and member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

Refreshments will be served.

A message from the Christian Science Board of Directors

Dear Friends,We are grateful to share with you the invitation letter from the Christian Science Board of Directors to this year’s Annual Meeting in Boston and online on Monday, June 2, 2025. You can learn more about Annual Meeting at christianscience.com/annualmeeting. We invite you to watch this page for additional updates.We look forward to welcoming you to Boston or online.

“As you work, the ages win; for the majesty of Christian Science teaches the majesty of man.”— Mary Baker Eddy“My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.”— Christ JesusDear Church Members and Friends,When Solomon finished building the Temple that was meant to be the house of God, his prayer affirmed that the building itself could not contain God’s majesty. The true spiritual progress had to come through the hearts and acts of those who came together to worship God. He declared, “Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!” God assures Solomon that his prayers have been heard, and that the consecration involved in building the Temple and in coming together in the humble worship of God would bear fruit: “Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually” (Second Chronicles 6:18; 7:15,16). Mary Baker Eddy referred to that moment in a letter to First Church of Christ, Scientist, Atlanta, Georgia, before reminding them of the importance of their own dedication, when she wrote, “As you work, the ages win,” which is the theme of the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church for 2025. She goes on to remind all of us: “You worship no distant deity, nor talk of unknown love. The silent prayers of our churches, resounding through the dim corridors of time, go forth in waves of sound, a diapason of heart-beats, vibrating from one pulpit to another and from one heart to another, till truth and love, commingling in one righteous prayer, shall encircle and cement the human race” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, pp. 188, 189).The provision for Annual Meeting in the Church Manual includes thought-provoking requirements. Mrs. Eddy tells us that the purpose of these meetings is to listen to Church reports and “general reports from the Field” (Manual, p. 56, emphasis added). Our Leader has charged us all—individual members and branch churches—with the task of sharing our spiritual progress with each other. Whether a report is grand or modest, taken together, they serve to illustrate the majesty of Christian Science. Some reports from the Field include the joy and energy of a newly admitted member who may have discovered Christian Science fairly recently, or the assurance of a Sunday School student who found answers to challenging questions they’d been wrestling with. Other reports from the Field come from members’ healing experiences that may have come out of spiritual lessons that were deepened over the course of decades of study and application. Still others may be important spiritual lessons of progress learned by a branch church in working together and caring for each other. We look forward to being together at the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, to be held in person and online on Monday, June 2, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. Boston time. There will also be related events held throughout the weekend, beginning with a gathering for youth on Friday, May 30. With deep gratitude and love for you all,The Christian Science Board of Directors

Beverly Hills, CA - In-person Lecture - How Spiritual Perception Brings Healing
2025-06-08 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Community Fellowship Event

Church Service at 11 a.m.Subject: God the Only Cause and Creator

Light Lunch at 12 Noon

Talk at 1 p.m.Streamed live from Gan, France

How Spiritual Perception Brings HealingAlexandre Fischer, Speaker

Everyone is welcome to attend the church service OR the talk OR both and enjoy a light lunch.

During his years as a lawyer, Alexandre’s interest in Christian Science grew. At first, he was impressed by its remarkable healings and resolutions, but as he dug deeper, he found a profound spirituality.Alexandre used to believe that religion and spirituality meant accepting a system of beliefs and letting go of discernment and critical thinking. But the more he studied and practiced this spirituality, the more he found that one’s relationship with God requires critical thinking to understand spiritual concepts. He learned how to apply these concepts to bring healing.

Fischer is a Christian Science practitioner from France and member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

Monrovia, CA - In-person Lecture - Learning to love your enemies
2025-06-21 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Giulia Nesi Tetreau, Speaker

Loving your enemies can sometimes feel impossible. Christian Science proves that loving your enemy is not only possible, it is natural.

But what does it look like to lead with Love, instead of hate? The study of this divine Science and answering Christ Jesus’ call to “love your enemies” in your life replaces anger, hurt, and injustice with forgiveness, freedom, and peace.

Tetreau is a Christian Science practitioner and teacher from Fairfield, Connecticut and member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

Santa Monica, CA - In-person Lecture - Why Everyone is Needed
2025-06-22 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
A light lunch will be provided from 11-12 PM before the lecture.

James Shepherd, Speaker

As we learn more about who we are–as God’s thoughtful, loved creation–our self-worth, purpose, physical health, and relationships are transformed. Finding this new sense of our connection to God helps us bring healing to difficult world problems like political divisions and social inequality. Each one of us is connected to God. No one is left out. Shepherd’s lecture discusses what our purpose is, where our worth comes from, and shares examples of how seeing ourselves and others as God sees us gives us a spiritual perspective that heals ourselves and our world.

James Shepherd is a Christian Science practitioner from Eugene, Oregon and member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
