What is the CS Joint Media Committee of Southern California? 

We are an important outreach and healing arm of the Christian Science branch churches and societies of Southern California. The Committee supports and facilitates activities that individual churches would not be able to maintain on their own. Representatives from churches and societies in SoCal serve on the committee.

The Joint Media Committee covers the full cost of Thanksgiving Facebook and Instagram advertising across all nine Southern California counties. The ads are linked to the Thanksgiving landing page below. There is no cost to churches, and no action is required.

Google Ads for Thanksgiving services link searchers to the Thanksgiving landing page. There is no cost to churches for this service. We recommend including the time of this special Thanksgiving service on your website or PrayerThatHeals.org web page.

While churches won’t be able to see the Thanksgiving social media ads directly, you can help spread the word by sharing the Thanksgiving landing page linked from our ads. Simply post the link on your church’s social media page or include it on your website, or in an email. You may also use the Share this page button on prayerthatheals.org.
