Christian Science Canberra   Promoting Health, Wellbeing and Spiritual Healing in a Scientific World

On Thursday 19 November a Thanksgiving Service was held by the members of the Christian Science Church in Canberra.  Many in the congregation gave thanks for the good in their lives:

Very recently I was listening to a Christian Science lecture in which the speaker outlined a wonderful example of problem solving through prayer, and then went on to share her awe at the overwhelming abundance of the divine solution.

This brought vividly to my mind the first time I experienced this divine ‘extra’ in an answer to my prayer.  I was staying alone in an absent friend’s home when over several days I found myself feeling sicker and sicker and weaker and worrying about how I was to get home.

Finally, I looked in a Christian Science Journal for the name and number of a local Christian Science practitioner to help me through prayer.  She so readily and lovingly took me under her spiritual wing.  I don’t remember now whether the healing took 2 or 3 days but completely healed I certainly was, for which I felt much gratitude, but not surprise, because new as I was to Christian Science, I’d already learned enough to know God’s readiness and love and power were always there.  The dazzling remembrance that sprang to my mind when His abundant good was illustrated in the lecture was my trip home a day later.  When I presented myself at the airport the clerk said – completely out of the blue – that my seat had been up graded to first class!

Something which had, and has, never happened to me before or since.

A God … abundant in loving kindness and truth (Exodus 34: 6).
