SENTINEL WATCH PODCAST

Does God keep everyone safe?

How can we think about safety from a spiritual perspective?
This week’s guests share experiences
of how they prayed during dangerous situations—
and how they found safety not just for themselves but for others, too.

Join us via Zoom to hear this week’s Sentinel Watch podcast (and other audio offerings)

(NOTE: The current and past Sentinel Watch programs are always available online.)

This week’s collection of articles in the Christian Science Sentinel can be read or heard online:

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE READING ROOMS

There are Reading Rooms in the DC metropolitan area
(and around the world)
where you can discuss ideas and ask questions
about the above programs and articles

thought for the week

Each day is like a faucet.
It holds the promise of increasing harmony.
We turn on the tap through prayer,
which opens thought
to divine Love’s flood tide of ideas,
and find its ready fulfillment each moment
in full-flowing goodness.

— excerpt from poem, Promise and Fulfillment, Christian Science Sentinel
