You're invited to attend the Wednesday meeting at 7p ET in person or on Zoom, April 9, 2025. The topic is: God the producer of good
God made man good and made only good. We'll read scriptural texts explaining how like produces only like and how Christ Jesus came to fulfill the law of love and to destroy all unlike love. In the Christian Science textbook, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, writes "The immortal never produces the mortal.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 277:6-7 (to 1st .)) Join us to learn more about how an understanding of God's production of all good brings harmony into our lives.
Whatever the topic, the truth you need to hear, the inspiration you are seeking, will be heard because all communication is from all-knowing, all-loving God.
Quote: Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
(Matthew 7:20)
HYMNS
Hymn 275
Praise now creative Mind,
Maker of earth and heaven;
Glory and power to Him belong,
Joy of the sun and skies,
Strength where the hills arise,
So let us praise with joy and song.
Ages have seen His might,
Father we call His name;
Nights of our mourning and sorrow end,
Light blesses opened eyes,
Joys like the dawns arise
As we see Him our God and Friend.
Saviour from death is He;
Life is our heritage;
Mercy and goodness forever guide;
Ours is the risen Christ,
Daily we keep our tryst,
And evermore in Love confide.
Hymn 263
Only God can bring us gladness,
Only God can give us peace;
Joys are vain that end in sadness,
Joy divine shall never cease.
Mid the shade of want and sorrow
Undisturbed, our hearts rejoice;
Patient, wait the brighter morrow;
Faithful, heed the Father’s voice.
As the stars in order going,
All-harmonious, He doth move;
Heavenly calm and comfort showing,
Comes the healing word of Love.
Who the word of wisdom heareth
Feels the Father Love within,
Where as dawn the shadow cleareth,
Love outshines the night of sin.
So we find the true atonement,
Know in God the perfect Friend;
For in Love is our at-one-ment,
Where all hearts in Him may blend.
Here from prisoning pain and sorrow
Have we all a sure release,
Only God can bring us gladness,
Only God can give us peace.
Hymn 115
Holy Father, Thou hast taught us
We should live to Thee alone;
Year by year, Thy hand hath brought us
On through dangers oft unknown.
When we wandered, Thou hast found us;
When we doubted, sent us light;
Still Thine arm has been around us,
All our paths were in Thy sight.
We would trust in Thy protecting,
Wholly rest upon Thine arm,
Follow wholly Thy directing,
Thou our only guard from harm.
Keep us from our own undoing,
Help us turn to Thee when tried,
Still our strength in Thee renewing,
Keep us ever at Thy side.
