Golden Text:  “May the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being — spirit, soul, and body — free from every fault at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (I Thessalonians 5:23)

This powerful Bible Lesson helps us see the complete freedom that is ours, when we grasp that Soul, Divine Mind, is now and always governing our bodies, and every aspect of our being.

“For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; … they shall be my people, and I will be their God:… Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.” (Jeremiah 32: 15; 38; 41.)

Golden Text: “…There is lifting up.” (Job 22:29).

This powerful Bible Lesson urges us to start our prayers every day with lessons laid forth in Genesis 1 — with God, Spirit, as the one and only creator, and man and woman as God’s perfect, complete creation.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth…. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” (Genesis 1: 1, 31)

“Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem:  loose thyself from the bands of thy neck; O captive daughter of Zion.” (Isaiah 52:2)

“The creative Principle — Life, Truth, and Love — is God.  The universe reflects God.  There is but one creator and one creation.  This creation consists of the unfolding of spiritual ideas and their identities, which are embraced in the infinite Mind and forever reflected.  These ideas range from the infinitesimal to infinity, and the highest ideas are the sons and daughters of God.”  Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 502:27.)

Golden Text: “…the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the Lord thy God loved thee.” (Deuteronomy 23:5)

This Bible Lesson discards as utterly untrue, the false concept of a stern, vengeful God who punishes mankind for some wrongdoing.  Instead, it reveals God, Spirit, who loves and protects cares for Her creation with an everlasting love.

“The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea,I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn three.”  (Jeremiah 31:3.)

“‘God is Love.’ More than this we cannot ask, higher we cannot look, farther we cannot go.  To suppose that God forgives or punishes sin according as His mercies sought or unsought, is to misunderstand Love and to make prayer the safe-valve for wrong-doing.”  (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 6:17.)

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.
