“The how, why and wonder of spiritual healing” with Beth Packer, CS

Find out how and why spiritual healing is such a powerful force for good. Beth shares how her father was healed through prayer of a diagnosed fatal illness that left him close to death.

Hear present-day examples, showing that such healing is not something of the past, but is a present possibility — an accessible transforming power for good in our lives today. Examples include protection from an attack, healing of a medically diagnosed ‘incurable’ illness, and effects of contagion.

“Why everyone is needed (and what that means)” with James Shepherd, CS

“God’s love is for everyone, and a Christian Science lecture is a perfect setting to learn about God’s love and the healing that it brings. I’ve seen the healing effects of God’s love since I was a youngster, romping through the woods around our home with my three brothers. We had our share of scrapes and bruises which were quickly healed through prayer. We didn’t get sick often, but when we did, we relied on Christian Science for quick healings.” James Shepherd is a Christian Science practitioner and lecturer based in Oregon, USA.
