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:  Be Set Free
DESCRIPTION:Clarkson Valley\nChild care provided\n\nBe Set Free\n\n\n\nCircumstances often present what appear to be significant obstacles to living freely\, something that everyone wants to do. Whatever it is that seems to stand between us and the full range of motion that we would like to have in our lives\, it’s not so much the impediment that is the problem — it’s not knowing how or where to access our God-given liberty. \nTo live a life of liberty\, we have to find the nature and substance of liberty\, which is spiritual\, purposeful\, unburdened\, and given to all. To do that you have to know where to look\, to the source of liberty — God\, good itself\, all-inclusive. \nIn this talk\, we will examine liberty from a Biblical perspective; and see how real people today find their freedom from all kinds of physical\, emotional and circumstantial restrictions that seem clearly beyond their control so that they may Be Set Free. \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\, Clarkson Valley.\nChildcare will be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.
