At this free talk, Ann Kneeland, a practitioner of Christian Science healing, explains how fear is dissolved, sickness is cured and difficult relationships are healed through a purely spiritual approach. This healing method is based upon understanding God as divine Love and our nature as the spiritual and perfect expression of our all-good creator. Real-life examples of healing will be explained, as well as practical, spiritual ideas which can be used immediately.

Bible Study

Participants in our Bible Study group seek to gain a deeper understanding of the Scriptures through focused study of selected Bible texts using various Bible translations and commentaries, discussing and sharing the results of their research.

Anyone can join the group at any time. The chapters for study are announced here two or three weeks in advance, and Bible study resources can be found in our Christian Science Reading Room as well as online. We generally meet once per month via Zoom.

Next session:

Thursday, November 20, 2025, at 7pm via Zoom.

Focus will be on Genesis 1 thru Genesis 2:4.

You can use this single Zoom link to join.

See below for additional background information for the September session.

The Bible Study group will not be meeting in October. The next session, open to all, will be held on Zoom on Thursday, Nov. 20th at 7 PM. You can join using this single-click Zoom link. Below is information from Bible Study chair Susan Spain about the topic to be discussed at the Nov. 20th session.

Bible Study Thursday, November 20 via Zoom: Continuing To Examine The Impact Of Genesis 1 Throughout The Bible

As the First Tenet of the Christian Science denomination states, as “As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life.” And Genesis 1 qualifies as inspired, for sure. As we discussed in September, the Word of God is actively creative, and we noted that Mary Baker Eddy had four words to describe God - omni-action, omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience. Genesis 2, however, written at a different time is similar to creation myths in ancient civilizations that focus on a material view of mankind – composed of material elements, easily tempted/fooled/conned, disobedient, fearful, labeled a sinner and sent away from God’s presence.

In November we will be looking for how the thread of the Genesis 1 man (spiritual man made in the very good image and likeness of infinite God - given dominion) is referenced or discovered in other beloved parts of the Bible. Matt 3:17 (as Jesus begins his ministry) and I John 3: 1-3 (spiritual facts) are good starting points for discussion, because God’s man and woman in Genesis 1 as the image and likeness is clearly the basis for how Christ Jesus healed. See pages 476-477: 30-8 in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy. You may want to share a favorite healing by Jesus that relates to what Christ saw.

Then we will look at how people created in Genesis 1 in the image and likeness can be seen as included or referenced in Psalms 23, 91, 121, and 139. As you look at these Psalms – ask yourself questions such as: Is this verse about Genesis 1 or Genesis 2 mankind? For example, is it spiritual or material man who dwells “in the secret place of the Most High”?

We look forward to discussing our inspiration together in November.
