“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, 
be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer” 
(Psalms 19:14)

Friends, Fresh resources are available this week to support your spiritual journey

and to help us realize our own and others’ spiritual identity, through choosing our thoughts carefully.

  • Join in listening to the SentinelWatch podcast on Tuesday@2 — about finding Christian Science
  • Go to related articles in this week’s Sentinel magazine, about choosing thoughts that are good!
  • Join an online Bible Study group Thursday 7pm
  • An upcoming free public talks about gaining a spiritual perspective, coming May 18 & 19

  Sentinel Watch     Why I left Christian Science–and came back

This week’s guest shares why she came back to Christian Science after she had left—and the healing that resulted in feeling God’s comfort and all-encompassing love.

    • Who are we really?
    • What draws us to God in our seeking spirituality?

Join us via Zoom to listen to this week’s Sentinel Watch program

Tuesday, May 7

Please MUTE yourself during the program. (Press *6 to mute or unmute yourself.)

This program is complemented by online articles in the current print edition of the Christian Science Sentinel. This week’s editorial encourages us to move past cynicism and see everyone’s true identity, including our own true spirituality.  

… Christ enables us to lay down the imposition of worldly cynicism for our innate spiritual cheer and embrace a spiritually grounded expectancy of good—for our sake and the world’s.

Our experience is determined by our own thoughts and Choosing where our thoughts dwell is our responsibility. We find our own thoughts, “house”, identity and learn not to go where “It’s not my house.”

…I had to gain a better understanding of what my “house”—my true identity—is and to be fully conscious of who I am as God’s loved, cared-for child. 

To learn more about your spiritual identity — Explore more online resources, including the Daily Lift and past audio programs and articles, the current Bible lesson, or access the directory of Christian Science practitioners who can help you through prayer. 
There are Reading Rooms in the DC metropolitan area (and around the world) whe re you can talk with someone in person about ideas in this program and articles.
