Nov 4, Sat, Norwalk: In-person lecture at 10:00 AM
Title: NEVER ALONE: HOW SPIRITUAL IDEAS WORK IN US
By Melanie Wahlberg
Sat, November 4, 2023 at 11:00 AM ET
Location: South Norwalk Library, Community Room, 10 Washington Street. Norwalk CT 06854
"Giving freely of ourselves and what we all gain," a talk by practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, Melanie Wahlberg. The talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible, especially in Christ Jesus' life and teachings, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free, open to the community, and sponsored by First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Westport.
"When we feel overwhelmed by life's problems, we may want to try to get more from the world," says Ms. Wahlberg. "But when we do the opposite-give more of ourselves or focus on the God-given qualities we already have to express or contribute, we find that we end up not lacking anything. Really, we gain the unexpected good of joy, health, and strength that move our lives and the world forward."
Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Ms. Wahlberg will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy.
Ms. Wahlberg will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, and how she came to understand, confirm, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus' demand, "He that believes on me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go unto my Father" (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible).
For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today, with healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.

Nov 28, Tuesday, Guilford: In-Person Lecture at 7 PM
Title: BE SET FREE
By Nicole Virgil
Tue, November 28, 2023 at 7:00 PM ET
Location: Church, 49 Park St, Guilford CT
Circumstances often present what appear to be significant obstacles to living freely, something that everyone wants to do. Whatever it is that seems to stand between us and the full range of motion that we would like to have in our lives - it's not so much the presenting impediment that is the problem - it's not knowing how or where to access our God-given liberty.
To live a life of liberty, we have to find the nature and substance of liberty, which is spiritual, purposeful, unburdened, and given to all. To do that you have to know where to look, to the source of liberty - God, good itself, all-inclusive.
In this talk, we will examine liberty from a Biblical perspective; and see how real people today find their freedom from all kinds of physical, emotional and circumstantial restrictions that seem clearly beyond their control so that they may Be Set Free.
