There will be a Reading Room Gathering for anyone interested in thinking together about Reading Rooms – their purpose and how their healing mission can be effectively expressed in their community today. The Reading Room is one of the four Manual-based outreach activities of branches. You can register here by May 12.

This event is organized by The Mother Church and branches in San Diego County. It is open to anyone interested in exploring how to strengthen this vital activity. Please come ready to share your ideas and learn from each other.

This Reading Room Gathering will be held at the Downtown San Diego Church of Christ, Scientist, on Saturday, May 17 from 10:00am – 3:00 pm.

Please share this information with your whole church family.

Everyone’s ideas are so welcome!  Here are some of the specific discussions we will cover:

    •    What is the purpose and relevance of a Christian Science Reading Room in today’s world?

    •    How can a Reading Room be more active and vital in its community?

    •    How can we work together to ensure this activity remains strong?

    •    How do we reach the younger generations?

Your ideas are important to this discussion as we collectively think through these questions. The success of a Reading Room depends on the church’s love and support of its mission. For the community to value its Reading Room, the church must value it first. What you have to say and the prayer that supports it is vital to a Reading Room’s success. Your voice is needed in this discussion!

Please register individually here by May 12.  We need to get a sense of how many people will be coming since The Mother Church will be supplying lunch.

We look forward to seeing you on May 17!

Warmly,

Church Activities Department
