Golden Text: “I am the good shepherd.” (John 10:11)

This Bible Lesson emphasizes the tender care that Christ Jesus expressed as “the good shepherd.” It reminds us of the infinite blessings that come to us as we strive to follow in his footsteps, loving and healing as we go.

“As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” (John 10: 15-16)

“Those, who are willing to leave their nets or to cast them on the right side for Truth, have the opportunity now, as forename, to learn and to practice Christian healing.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 271:26-29.)

You can read this Bible Lesson here, or by visiting our Reading Room.

You and your family are also welcome to join us at 10:00 a.m. Sunday, where you can hear this powerful lesson read, along with hymns and a sacred solo. Your children are always welcome in our Sunday School, where they will love discussing the Bible stories contained in the Lesson and related passages from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health. Your smaller children will receive loving care in our Children’s Room.

Come join us on Sunday, or at our 7:30 p.m. Wednesday testimony meeting. You are most welcome.
