. . . there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; . . .
—Isaiah 11:1, 2

Sunday Service
Our Sunday Service begins at 10:00am and is given in person and on zoom. You will hear music, hymns, scriptural readings, prayer, and a sermon based on a weekly Bible Lesson from our pastor, the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, read by two readers who are elected from our church membership.
Child care for infants and toddlers is available at all services.
“I, Mary Baker Eddy, ordain the Bible, and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Pastor over The Mother Church, — The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., — and they will continue to preach for this Church and the world.”
—Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 58
The subject of the Bible Lesson for the week of
December 8 - 14, 2025 is:
God the Preserver of Man
GOLDEN TEXT
Psalms 107:1 (to :), 29
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: . . . He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
RESPONSIVE READING
Isaiah 54:11, 13; 42:5 (to 1st ;), 6; Matthew 14:14; 8:23–27
Isa. 54:11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Isa. Isa. 42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out;
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
Matt. 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
Sunday School
Our Sunday School also begins at 10:00am and offers a loving, unpressured atmosphere for children and young people up to the age of 20.
Our Church Manual gives these instructions for the Sunday School lessons:
“The Sabbath School children shall be taught the Scriptures, and they shall be instructed according to their understanding or ability to grasp the simpler meanings of the divine Principle that they are taught. The first lessons of the children should be the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20: 3–17), the Lord's Prayer (Matt. 6: 9–13), and its Spiritual Interpretation by Mary Baker Eddy, Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5: 3–12). The next lessons consist of such questions and answers as are adapted to a juvenile class, and may be found in the Christian Science Quarterly Lessons, read in Church services. The instruction given by the children's teachers must not deviate from the absolute Christian Science contained in their textbook.”
Children too young for classes or services will be lovingly cared for in our Children’s Room.
Wednesday Evening Testimony Meeting
Everyone is welcome to our Wednesday evening meeting held at 7.30pm. The meeting begins with readings from the Bible and Science and Health that provide a healing message regarding issues affecting us, our communities, and the world. After the readings congregants are invited to share their healings and inspiration gained from prayer and the study of Christian Science. Like our Sunday Service, we sing hymns and pray at every meeting.
See below for the readings from the most recent meeting.
Childcare for infants and toddlers is available at all services.
