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.
