SUMMARY:Free Public Talk:  Moving past fear --  to healing
DESCRIPTION:Central West End\nChild care provided\n\nMoving past fear – to healing\n\n  \nBy discovering the strong connection and relationship we have to something bigger than ourselves — God\, good\, we can learn to lean and rely on this greater\, higher good. This can move us to love beyond ourselves — and we are freed from fear and so much more.  \n\nAbout Lisa Troseth\n\nLisa was in her late teens when God became more real to her as an infinitely loving presence. At the time\, she was struggling with tough relationship problems\, so she was wide open to seeking divine answers. She began to earnestly study Christian Science\, which she knew transformed lives because it had healed her mom of a bipolar disorder diagnosed as incurable. \n\n“As I really prayed and studied the Bible and Science and Health\, they awakened me to a larger view of life as being forever inseparable from divine Love. This freed me from the relationship issues\, healed me of a skin condition\, and changed my character for the better.”\n\nYearning to share God’s healing nature more with others\, Lisa took Christian Science Primary Class Instruction in 1994\, where she learned how prayer\, based on our unity with God\, consistently heals and brings solutions to our lives\, communities\, and world. Proving this has been at the heart of her life’s work\, whether serving in educational nonprofits\, working as a Christian Science nurse\, or serving in various church capacities\, including currently as a Christian Science lecturer. Lisa was an art major in college\, and has enjoyed living in many places throughout the United States. One of her favorite activities nowadays is hiking with her husband in the mountains of Northwest Arkansas. She has loved being in the full-time ministry of Christian Science healing since 2010\, and now as a 2021 graduate of Normal class. \n“It’s a joy to share the Science of Christ-healing through teaching.”\n\n\nLisa Troseth will give her talk at First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, St. Louis\, MO\nChildcare will be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.

SUMMARY:Free Public Talk:  Learning to Love Your Enemies
DESCRIPTION:Central West End\nChild care provided\n\nLearning to Love Your Enemies\nwith Giulia Nesi Tetreau\n\n\n\nLoving your enemies can sometimes feel impossible. Christian Science proves that learning to love your enemies is not only possible\, but natural. The study of this divine Science leads to following Christ Jesus command to “love your enemies.” This replaces anger\, hurt\, and injustice with forgiveness\, freedom\, and peace. \n\n\n  \nAbout\nGiulia Nesi Tetreau\n\n“I’ve always loved people—their life stories\, their struggles\, their successes.  I regularly meet individuals actively cultivating their spiritual life.  And I love sharing Science and Health with them! \nI see much of my own journey in these seekers.  A few years into my career in the mental health field\, despite having achieved professional success\, I felt empty inside.  I had everything I’d been taught would make me happy but instead was dissatisfied and restless\, yearning for something deeper.  That’s when I was introduced to Christian Science through Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, by religious reformer\, Mary Baker Eddy.  In it\, I found a shared sacred space with the author and experienced a profound sense of coming home. \nSome years later\, I was compelled to leave my psychotherapy practice to focus completely on my Christian Science healing practice.  It was an imperative demand from within me—I had to be true to myself. “His word is in my heart like a fire…I am weary of holding it in.”* I needed to practice in the way I understood would be most helpful. \nSince then\, sharing the revolutionary message contained in the pages of Science and Health has been the cornerstone of my life.  I helped oversee the worldwide activity of bringing the book to a wider public audience.  I also managed a special project established to respond to the growing interest from healthcare professionals in learning more about Christian Science. I’ve lectured to the public in a variety of settings and venues\, from prisons to professional healthcare audiences and everything in between. I love all of it! \nWhat a special opportunity Christian Science lectures provide for opening the way for the spiritual seeker in all of us to learn\, grow\, and heal.  I welcome all inquiries!” \n\nGiulia Nesi Tetreau will give her talk at\nSchlafly Library\n225 N Euclid Ave St Louis MO 63108\nChildcare will be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.

SUMMARY:Free Public Talk:  Be Set Free
DESCRIPTION:Central West End\nChild care provided\n\nBe Set Free\nwith Nicole Virgil\n\n\n\nFreedom is yours when you know where to look for it! Nicole brings a straightforward approach to her talks. She will share and give 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. As well as lecturing\, Nicole’s work is praying specifically for and with individuals to bring about the healing of any situation. \n\n\n  \nAbout Nicole Virgil\n\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. \n\nNicole Virgil will give her talk at First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, St. Louis\nChildcare will be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.

SUMMARY:Free Public Talk: Never Alone - How Spiritual Ideas Work In Us
DESCRIPTION:St. Louis\nChild care provided\n\nNever Alone – How Spiritual Ideas Work In Us\nwith Melanie Wahlberg\nCome and hear how ideas from God companion us\, bless us\, heal us and feel like home. They transform and impel our lives forward.  Join us at the New City School for an hour of great inspiration with Christian Science Practitioner and Speaker\, Melanie Wahlberg. \nSimple ideas\, about God’s nature and about our nature as expressions of God\, stir something new in our consciousness. They work in us in ways that change our lives and our health for the better … \n\n… But how do we find these healing ideas consistently?  We’ll look at the teachings of Christ Jesus\, our best and most practical example. And I’ll share how this approach has transformed lives\, including a mother and her infant daughter who each experienced healing. With ideas from God working on our behalf this way\, we discover that we’re never truly alone.  ~Melanie Wahlberg \nAbout Melanie Wahlberg\n\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 Wahlberg will give her talk at\nNew City School\n5209 Waterman Boulevard – Entrance on Lake Avenue\nChildcare will be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.\nSponsored by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, St. Louis\, MO

SUMMARY:Free Public Talk:  Discovering Ever Present Love - Active in Your Life
DESCRIPTION:Central West End\nChild care provided\nDiscovering Ever Present Love – Active in Your Life\n\n\n\nCome and explore how a view of Love as God can bring more thoughtful\, tender affection to your relationships. Love might be what life is all about. \n“Love might be what life is all about. This talk will show how a bigger\, truer sense of God can bring more thoughtful\, tender affection to your relationships. You will hear how a sense of God as Love refines our search for love\, helps us deal with a lack or loss of love\, and can also result in physical healing.” – Janet Hegarty\n\n\n  \nAbout Janet Hegarty\n\nWhat Janet loves about Christian Science is the way it answers pressing questions that come to all of us. Questions like: Who am I? Why am I here? How can I find health and happiness? These questions were uppermost in her thought as she entered college. She studied music composition at Washington University in St. Louis. Then\, she moved to Chicago\, to earn a master’s degree in music. Around that time\, she was introduced to Christian Science and began finding the answers to her questions about identity\, purpose\, and health\, which made a huge difference in her life. \nJanet’s life has been transformed from living in fear for her health and uncertainty about the future to feeling secure in the spiritual basis for health and having a joyous expectation of good. This transformation showed her the life-changing power of God’s goodness and the healing that results from understanding our oneness with God. These ideas have been useful to Janet in her  healing work\, and she loves sharing them in her prison ministry\, with interfaith groups\, and in the public talks she gives on Christian Science. \n\nJanet Hegarty will give her talk at First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, St. Louis.\nChildcare will be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.
