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.

SUMMARY:Free Public Talk:  Be Set Free
DESCRIPTION:Jerseyville\, IL\nChild care provided\n\nBe Set Free\nwith Nicole Virgil\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, we will explore Biblical perspectives on freedom and hear real-life examples of people breaking free from physical\, emotional\, and situational struggles. Life often feels full of obstacles that limit our freedom\, but the real challenge is not the barriers themselves. It is not knowing where to find our God-given liberty. True freedom is not just about circumstances changing. It is about discovering the spiritual\, unburdened\, and purposeful liberty that already belongs to us\, proving that true liberty comes from understanding God as its source. \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\nLyon Park Feyerabend Building\n201 E. Spruce Street\, Jerseyville\, IL 62052\nChildcare will be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.
