Golden Text: “In God have I put my trust and confident reliance;… For you have rescued my soul from death, Yes and my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of life.” (Psalms 56:11, 13)

This Bible Lesson leads us gently but firmly into the light — the blessed recognition of ourselves as God’s spiritual children, safe, secure, good and pure.

“He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” (Psalms 23:2,3.)

“God, the divine Principle of man, and man in God’s likeness are inseparable, harmonious, and eternal. The Science of being furnishes the rule of perfection, and brings immortality to light.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 336: 25-28)

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.
