Golden Text: “…you are God’s garden and God’s building.” (I Corinthians 3:9)

This inspiring Bible Lesson reminds us that it is God, Spirit, who creates and governs all mankind, and indeed, all creation.

“I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou has not known me:…. be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.” (Isaiah 45: 5; 65:18.)

“CREATOR. Spirit; Mind; intelligence; the animating divine Principle of all that is real and good; self-existent Life, Truth, and Love; that which is perfect and eternal; the opposite of matter and evil, which have no Principle; God, who made all that was made and could not create an atom or an element the opposite of Himself.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 583:20.)

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.
