SUMMARY:Giving Freely of Ourselves and What We All Gain
DESCRIPTION:Elsah\, Illinois\nEveryone is welcome. \nGiving Freely of Ourselves and What We All Gain\nwith Melanie Walhberg\nWhen we feel overwhelmed by life’s problems\, we may want to hide or give up. But when we do the opposite — give more of ourselves or focus on the God-given qualities we already have\, we find that those problems dissolve! Hear this Christian Science healer share her own experiences of progress — and how you can gain the joy\, health\, and strength that move our lives and the world forward. \n______________________________________________________________________ \n  \nAbout Melanie Walhberg \n \n\nTwo influences that Melanie will never forget were the Christian Science Sunday School and a mom who turned to prayer and encouraged her to do the same. These influences showed her something of the reliability of God and spiritual inspiration\, and trusting this helped her find her way growing up. Significant healing experiences with relationship and food issues\, and violence in the community\, were also unforgettable. From this\, Melanie got an idea of the many ways that Christian Science can transform lives. \nAfter finishing a doctorate in mathematics\, Melanie became a college professor and truly enjoyed teaching. She found that teaching was less about telling students something than facilitating the students’ discoveries of new concepts. There was nothing better than witnessing a reluctant student realize that a previously mystifying concept was actually within reach to anyone. \nBut the higher promise of Christian Science beckoned her to help people redeem and uplift their lives in a fuller way. When students came to her office for help with calculus\, Melanie and her students often found themselves talking about the joy and excitement of growing spirituality. After just two years at the college\, Melanie resigned from her position and began accepting calls as a Christian Science practitioner. She wrote articles for the Christian Science periodicals\, was a frequent guest on Sentinel radio\, and began advertising her practice in The Christian Science Journal in 2004. She and her husband also started a family. \nMelanie loves working from her home office in the Los Angeles area. She likes to see lives transformed by the healing ideas of Christian Science\, where we ourselves are helped and\, at the same time\, find we can help others. Her life as a mom has a lot of the same focus. And whether the spiritual ideas apply to health issues\, school\, social lives\, or sports\, her three kids push her to “keep it real.” \n\n______________________________________________________________________ \nMelanie Walhberg will give her talk at\nPrincipia Wanamaker Hall\, Elsah\n1 Maybeck Place\, Elsah\, IL\nEveryone is welcome.\nChildcare will be not be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.

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.
