Welcome
We are a branch of The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston Massachusetts
which was founded in 1879 and was established “to commemorate the word and
works of our Master [Christ Jesus]” and to “reinstate primitive
Christianity and its lost element of healing.” All our services and
facilities are open to everyone.
Our Sunday church service is at 10.30am. Unusually, the pastor of the Christian
Science church is not a person but two books - the
Bible
and
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
by
Mary Baker Eddy
and the sermon is
the
Bible Lesson
that you can read yourself during the week, which is a
series of passages from the Bible and Science and Health centred
around a particular topic. The service also includes hymns, prayer and a solo song.
Also at 10.30am, we run a Sunday School for children and young people up to
age 20 where they learn how to get to know God, themselves and others better
through Bible stories, the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes and the
Lord’s Prayer. Older pupils are encouraged to question and discuss
how they can use what they’re learning to deal with day-to-day
challenges as well as to help others do the same.
We have a weekly Testimony Meeting on Wednesdays at 8pm which includes
readings from the Bible and Science and Health, hymns, prayer and
a time when those who wish to, can share testimonies of healing, experiences
and remarks on Christian Science.
Although the church isn’t open during the week, we provide a quiet
area for prayer and study in our Reading Room. If you want to discuss
anything or ask questions the
librarian
is always happy to help. You
can also ask questions by post, phone or email.
Thanks for visiting!
