Sept. 26-Oct. 2: “Unreality”

Sept. 26-Oct. 2: “Unreality.”

Golden Text:  “Let us judge for ourselves what is right; let us decide together what is good.” (Job 34:4)

This powerful Bible Lesson shows us how to distinguish between what is real, timeless, and dependably, eternally true about mankind, Life, God; and what is false, never-has-been real, always fake news, always untrue.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” (John 1:1-3)

“Christian Science, properly understood, would disabuse the human mind of material beliefs which war against spiritual facts; and these material beliefs must be denied and cast out to make place for truth.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 130: 15-19.)

Sept. 19-25: “Reality”

Sept. 19-25: “Reality.”

Golden Text:  “. . . God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” ( I John: 5)

This Bible Lesson shines an inspiring light on the truth of God’s ever-present, all-knowing, all-powerful love for mankind and all creation.

“Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.  In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.” (Psalms 89: 15, 16)

“The universe reflects and expresses the divine substance or Mind; therefore God is seen only in the spiritual universe and spiritual man, as the sun is seen in the ray of light which goes out from it.”  (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 300:28-31)

A story sent my way One day a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor handed out the question paper, with the text facing down as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked …

Welcome to First Church of Christ, Scientist, Bellingham, WA

Have you ever wondered if there really is a God, one who is willing or able to play a role in your life?

You can find the answers you yearn for, and the loving, caring God that Christ Jesus called "Father."  Christian Science shows that feeling the peace of God's loving, all-powerful presence is possible now. It shows us that the understanding of God that heals all our challenges is not a secret recipe available only in Biblical times, but a demonstrable science that all can practice and use in daily life.

Our church is one of the many worldwide branches of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, established in Boston, Massachusetts in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy.
