SUMMARY:Free Public Talk:  Be Set Free
DESCRIPTION:Webster Groves\nBe Set Free\nwith Nicole Virgil\n“Freedom is yours when you know where to look for it\,” says Nicole\, who brings a straightforward approach to her talks. She will share healing examples from her life of how practical it is to rely on an omnipresent good God for freedom from mental\, physical\, and relationship issues. \nAs well as lecturing\, Nicole’s work is praying specifically for and with individuals to bring about the healing of any situation. \nALL are welcome to enjoy this free talk in Wehrli Chapel at the Eden Theological Seminary! \nAbout Nicole Virgil \nNicole’s father was a free-lance church organist\, and her parents attended services at many different Christian churches in New England. Her mom had been on a years-long search to find out how to practice Christian healing just as Jesus did\, and when she started attending Christian Science church services\, she found what she was looking for. As a result\, Nicole was raised in Christian Science\, and developed a deep desire for an intimate relationship with God. \nNicole studied Christian Science with her mom and music with her dad\, and found that each discipline complemented the other. Christian Science healed performance anxiety\, while learning music honed the skills she needed for spiritual practice — skills such as intuition\, listening\, patience and diligence. Throughout her life\, Christian Science and music have always overlapped: after studying opera at music school\, she took her one-woman opera review program (That Can’t Be Opera!) on the road\, educating audiences about opera by singing Mozart\, Puccini\, and Menotti. Christian Science guided her through this entrepreneurial endeavor\, just as it led her to start soloing in churches as a teenager (which is something she still loves to do!) — Nicole eventually married\, started a family with her husband\, and entered the public practice of Christian Science. \nToday Nicole enjoys raising children\, gardening\, soloing in church\, and witnessing the healing effect of Christian Science. \nNicole Virgil will give her talk at\nWehrli Chapel\, Eden Theological Seminary\n475 E Lockwood Ave\, St. Louis\, MO 63119\nChildcare will not be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.\nSponsored by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Creve Coeur\, MO

SUMMARY:Free Public Talk: The Science of God and its Power to Heal Us
DESCRIPTION:Manchester\nChild care provided\nThe Science of God and its Power to Heal Us\nwith Nikki O’Hagan\n“Get up! Pick up your mat and walk” (John 5: 8 NIRV). \nChrist Jesus responded with scientific certainty to calls for healing. This Christian Science lecture is about his simple message of certain good. \nWhether you’re looking for answers or facing challenges\, come hear about experiencing God’s goodness — His presence and power. No background needed\, just honest life questions. \nAbout Nikki O’Hagan \n \nNikki grew up in South Africa where she gained a love for being outdoors and enjoying the beauty and promise of nature. From a young age she had a strong desire to not just experience life\, but to understand it. She used to exasperate her dad by following up every explanation he gave her by asking “but\, Why?” While Nikki did grow up attending Christian Science Sunday School\, as a teen she decided that this would not be the way for her to gain the understanding of life that she was seeking\, and she headed off in another direction.\n\nSeveral years followed in which she desperately tried to find happiness and to understand the Why of life. She looked everywhere and tried everything (even jumping out of an airplane!) but nothing brought answers\, happiness or lasting peace. Rather than finding an understanding of life\, it all seemed to just get darker and make less and less sense. \nAnd then a transformational healing brought her back to Christian Science\, where she found comfort\, peace\, mercy\, happiness\, harmony\, health\, and home in the arms of divine Love. Nikki then discovered that she loved the infallible logic of the Science of Christianity\, and found in it all the answers to her Whys. Life and God finally began to make sense and became full of joy\, light\, and love. Her gratitude for this pivotal healing\, and the salvation it brought her by setting her on the path of Christian Science\, was–and still is–unbounded. Since that time all she has wanted to do is love and serve God\, and love and serve others. \nThrough her study and practice of Christian Science\, Nikki has experienced and witnessed so many healings over the years. Her earnest desire is for all to know the transformational healing power of divine Love. Becoming a Christian Science practitioner was a natural step in fulfilling this desire. \nNikki looks forward to sharing with others\, through the lecturing work\, the subjects most precious and dear to her heart: God and Christian Science. \n\n\nNikki O’Hagan will give her talk at\nSchroeder Park Office Building\, Conference Area\nSchroeder Park 359 Old Meramec Station Road\nManchester\, Missouri\nChild care will be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.\nSponsored by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Valley Park\, MO

SUMMARY:Free Public Talk - Finding where God is seen and felt
DESCRIPTION:Clarkson Valley\nChild care provided\nFinding where God is seen and feltWhat’s church got to do with it?(Maybe church is more than a building.)\nEmra Farkas discusses the real role of church — not just as a building\, but as a new kind of thinking that reveals God’s goodness for you and everyone around you. She gives tangible examples of how the right meaning of church heals\, and shares her personal journey of finding her way back to a spiritually centered outlook. The lecture features several of her own healings\, both from childhood and adulthood. \nAbout Caryl Emra Farkas\, CSB\n\n \nThe most important influences on Emra’s life were her mother\, who taught her to pray when confronted with difficulties\, and her Christian Science Sunday School. In her teens\, when a teacher asked her to speak to a social studies class about her religion\, she discovered the joy that comes from sharing what she understood and had experienced of Mary Baker Eddy’s discovery. She was asked back each year and was always moved by the way students who were skeptical about the subject became interested after hearing her accounts of spiritual healing — her healings of a severed thumb\, tonsillitis\, swimmer’s ear\, bullying\, and other difficulties. \nHowever\, during college and graduate school\, she drifted away from church. Her degrees were in fine arts\, and after school she worked for galleries and museums in New York City. Her interest in finding spiritual answers to life’s challenges was rekindled\, and she explored a variety of spiritual disciplines in search of answers. This hands-on study of comparative religion helped her understand the universality of the search for spiritual truth\, but left her with unanswered questions. \nShe and her husband moved to Taos\, New Mexico\, where she enjoyed a career in music performance and started a family. After some years of poor health\, a sudden spiritual insight led her back to Christian Science and to an instantaneous healing of multiple chronic illnesses. \nThis inspired a deeper study of Eddy’s writings. That study led her back to church\, to Christian Science class instruction\, and eventually to a ten-year intensive course of study. Shortly thereafter\, she became a full-time Christian Science practitioner. \nEmra says there is nothing more satisfying than seeing divine Truth and Love transform lives and bring healing. She feels deeply blessed to practice and teach Christian Science\, contribute to the Christian Science periodicals\, serve her branch church\, and serve as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. \n\nCaryl Emra Farkas will give her talk at the Church Edifice2989 Clarkson RoadChesterfield\, MO 63017\nChildcare will be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.

SUMMARY:Free Public Talk:  The key to effective prayer
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, 6/14\nJerseyville\, IL \nChild care provided\nThe Key to Effective Prayer\nwith Edwina Aubin\, CSB\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Effective prayer is a recognition of the transforming power of God’s law — not just thinking good thoughts.”\n\n\n\n\nFirst Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Jerseyville\, IL warmly invites you to join us for a free public talk by Edwina Aubin\, CSB. Ms. Aubin will explore how effective prayer goes beyond simply “thinking good thoughts.” Instead\, it is a recognition of the transforming power of God’s law. She will share how Jesus demonstrated the ability to overcome material limitations through obedience to spiritual law\, reveal God as Love\, and show how we\, too\, can confidently follow this example in our own lives. \nThis talk is part of Edwina Aubin’s first U.S. lecture tour. \n____________________________________________________________________ \n \n\nLooking back over the steps in her career and spiritual journey\, Edwina feels a deep sense of order and progress stemming from her love of God and her desire to help others. \nAfter finishing school\, she asked herself what she most wanted to do. The answer came clearly: to help people. This led her into a medically based healthcare career\, where she loved working with patients. \nIn her late twenties\, Edwina discovered Christian Science\, which opened her thought to a new understanding of healthcare and healing. A sincere Christian who had explored numerous denominations in search of a deeper understanding of God\, she quickly found that Christian Science answered her questions about God and healing in a meaningful and practical way. Many years later\, she continues to find this to be true. \nNot long after beginning her study of Christian Science\, an unexpected new career opportunity arose. This role took her out of the clinical setting and into work that primarily involved helping students. Through this experience\, Edwina learned that true intelligence comes from God alone and is never limited by education\, background\, or personal ability. Though she had struggled academically as a student\, she eventually earned a doctorate while working full-time and raising a large family. \nEdwina’s early desire to help others never left her\, and this sincere motive eventually led her into the full-time practice of Christian Science healing. Today\, as a Christian Science practitioner and teacher\, she sees how every step of her journey has prepared her to better understand God’s loving care for all. This is the message she now shares as a Christian Science lecturer. \n\n\nEdwina Aubin will give her talk at:\nLyon Park Feyerabend Building\n201 E Spruce St\nJerseyville\, IL 62052 \nChild care will be provided.\nSee all information in the right sidebar.
