SENTINEL WATCH PODCAST

What to do in the face of danger

If you’ve ever been gripped by fear, you know how paralyzing that can feel.
Our guest shares some experiences with facing fear,
and how she’s walked away with spiritual lessons learned
and more awareness of God’s protecting care for all of us.

Join us via Zoom to hear this week’s Sentinel Watch podcast

(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 listened to online:

This week’s issue of the Sentinel reflects a shared conviction: Joy is not distant or fragile, but is present, strong—and spiritually active. We all have joy, always, because its source is God, not circumstances.

thought for the week

When we pray . . . to our dear Father-Mother God
let’s begin with a song
of gladness and gratitude
of praise and rejoicing
as birds sing

before the dawn
