First Wednesday Testimonial Service May 6th

May 5th, 2015

We will be having our first Wednesday testimonial service this Wednesday, May 6th, at 4:00 pm.

Join us for singing, prayer, and readings from our Pastor, the Bible and Science and Health.  This healing meeting is then opened to individuals to share with the congregation, through testimonies and comments, how they have made the teachings of Christ Jesus practical in their own lives.  The inspiration and love shared in these healing meetings bring blessings to all.

       Testimonials. Sect. 24. “Glorify God in

        your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s”

        (St. Paul). Testimony in regard to the healing

        of the sick is highly important. More than a mere

        rehearsal of blessings, it scales the pinnacle of

        praise and illustrates the demonstration of Christ,

       “who healeth all thy diseases” (Psalm 103:3).

Internet Chat Tuesday, April 28 on Christian Healing with the Mother Church Board of Directors

April 26th, 2015

Continuing to build church—on a spiritual foundation of Christ-healing

Here’s a link to the Internet Chat for April 28 on Christian Healing with the Mother Church Board of Directors
Sentinel Audio Chat

Audio begins on April 28, 2015 at 2:00 pm EDT. Please come back to hear the broadcast!

The Christian Science Board of Directors

The founder of Christian Science, including the Church of Christ, Scientist, Mary Baker Eddy, taught her followers that the way this Church grows is through healing. Since the growth of our churches requires Christian Scientists to actively heal others through Christ, what does it take to make that healing happen? What kind of consecration and spiritual transformation is required of our lives?

This chat is an opportunity for you to bring your questions to the Christian Science Board of Directors, who have been giving this subject much thought. The chat will be an honest conversation between the Board and chat participants, exploring together how we all can be better Christian healers.

About the Christian Science Board of Directors: The Christian Science Board of Directors has five members—each with an equal voice in overseeing both the Church’s long-term direction and day-to-day operations. The current members are: Robin Hoagland, Allison W. Phinney, Jr., Scott Preller, Margaret Rogers, and Lyle Young. All five board members are, first and foremost, Christian Science healers. That means they are all Christian Science practitioners, providing professional healing services to the public. Each is also a teacher of Christian Science.

Come to the Carlsbad-Vista Reading Room on Tuesday, April 28 at 11:00 a.m. and listen to the Board of Directors podcast with other church members, friends and visitors.   The title of this one hour question and answer interactive chat is  CONTINUING TO BUILD CHURCH–ON THE SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION OF CHRIST-HEALING.  There will be a one hour discussion immediately following the chat  facilitated by Alan Galt.  You are invited to bring a sack lunch and join the discussion from noon to 1:00 p.m. and please share this information with others.   The address is 135 Main Street in Vista.  We hope to see you there.

The birds were singing from the rooftops with our soloist last Sunday

April 20th, 2015

During our service last Sunday we had a full house and a new addition join us for our musical offering. Hamid Rostami, an accomplished classical guitar player, accompanied Elizabeth as she sang “Rooftops” along with some local feathered friends.  In addition, Hamid soothed us with a guitar solo as we contemplated the Bible lesson sermon after some most excellent readings by our 1st and 2nd readers.

Next week we will not have a service because we will be participating in the Encinitas street fair on Saturday and Sunday, April 25th and 26th, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.  Please come to the fair to enjoy this local community event and stop by and say hi and participate in some of our activities.

Our next service will be on Sunday, May 3rd, at our normal 4:00pm time.  At this service we will have more music which will include Elizabeth being accompanied by Bill Bailey a concert pianist.  After the service we will have a potluck at around 5:15 with the Rancho Santa Fe Church members, our reading room staff, and anyone who attends the service.  Bill will continue to play during the potluck and will be doing some new songs and some other surprises.  Please join us!

During last Sunday’s service we had a great duet for our solo
