April 16, Sunday, West Hartford: In-Person Lecture at 2PM
Title: NEVER TOO LATE TO EXPERIENCE FREEDOM
By Patricia Woodard
Sun, April 16, 2023 2PM
Location: West Hartford Town Hall, 50 South Main St
My lecture traces the origins of this good news to Christ Jesus ministry, and then explores how the discovery of a 19th-century woman named Mary Baker Eddy"who found freedom from chronic illness and other struggles in her own life"shows the provable relevance of Jesus ministry in our lives today. What she discovered through this study she called Christian Science"a view of God and the universe that uplifts our thoughts, changes our perspective to a spiritual viewpoint, and heals.
And it lifts all of us, and can heal all of us. Ill share the way Christian Science has brought healing to my own life, rescuing me from a troubling situation with my teenage daughter, and freeing me from the effects of an accident, as well as examples of how it has helped others from different walks of life. The common thread through these experiences is the way a clearer view of the reality of our God-given wholeness also releases us from burdens in our lives and causes us to soar. Free!

Title: MAKING MEANINGFUL CHANGE: HOW GOD'S LOVE CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND THE WORLD
By Mark McCurties
Thu, April 27, 2023 at 7:00 PM ET
Location: Church, 49 Park St, Guilford CT
We live in a world where millions of people are striving to make change for the better. So, in a world seeking positive change, how do we make sure that such change actually happens? Speaker Mark McCurties says, "We all have a natural desire to improve ourselves and the world around us. In my own life Ive found that letting God, divine Love, guide and direct my efforts brings permanent and meaningful results."
"The desire to change ourselves, to improve our character, our relationships, our life prospects can also go beyond just the boundary of our own lives and the four walls of our home. Many men and women around the world have a sincere yearning to improve the collective experience of mankind," says McCurties. "In this lecture, I will explain how Gods loving and saving power is the greatest agent for change, and that through a right understanding of God, His power can be seen and felt right here and now, bringing health and peace to the world."
The ideas in this lecture are based on the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible, and as discussed in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.McCurties has had a life-long love of the Bible and its inspiring message of individual triumph over adversity. After graduating from college, he spent a number of years in the field of education where he worked as a camp director, experiential educator, resident counselor, and athletics coach.While working with young people, he had many opportunities to witness the healing power of God, and these inspiring experiences eventually led him into the full-time public practice of Christian Science.

May 15, Monday, Ridgefield: In-Person Lecture at 7 PM
Title: BE SET FREE
By Nicole R. Virgil
Mon, May 15, 2023 at 7 PM
Location: At the church
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 - its not so much the presenting impediment that is the problem - its 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.
