Worship
Services
Sunday
Prayers, hymns, and scripture are familiar features of Christian Science worship services. You might be less familiar with our Pastor, which is not a person but rather two books: the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. Christian Science churches worldwide share this pastor. You will hear two church members read aloud a new sermon each week, which can be studied in advance. Topics include Love, Reality, God the Only Cause and Creator. Read this week's lesson.
10:30 - 11:30 AM
"The Sunday services are extremely beneficial to me, providing a spiritual pause in a busy week. I leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and healed..."

The Lord's Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer, taught by Christ Jesus, is the central prayer of our services. Mary Baker Eddy gave us the spiritual sense of this prayer, emphasizing the goodness and nearness of Deity.
It begins,
Our Father which art in heaven, Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious, Hallowed be Thy name. Adorable One. Thy kingdom come. Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Enable us to know, — as in heaven, so on earth, — God is omnipotent, supreme. Give us this day our daily bread; Give us grace for to-day; feed the famished affections; And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And Love is reflected in love; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivereth us from sin, disease, and death. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All.
