2016 Lectures

THANK YOU!

Thank you for making our Summer, 2016 lecture a great success. By success, we mean that your interest, your desire for spiritual growth, has helped to bring this important message of healing and unity in God to our community and the world. Your receptive thought has embraced divine Love, and made the world a better place. We are currently in prayerful work on when our next lecture will be held, and we hope that you will join us in this work. 
"... with one Mind and that God, or good, the brotherhood of man would consist of
Love and Truth, and have unity of Principle and spiritual power which constitute divine Science."

Science and Health,  470:2-5 (with)

2016 Speaker Schedule

We are pleased to announce that our speaker will be Mr. Mark McCurties. Mark will be giving his talk entitled, “Making meaningful change: How God's love can change your life and the world," to two audiences in the Wabash Valley in mid-July. 

Mark says, “We all have a natural desire to improve ourselves and the world around us. In my own life I’ve found that letting God, divine Love, guide and direct my efforts brings permanent and meaningful results.”

“The desire to change ourselves, to improve our character, our relationships, our life prospects can also go beyond just the boundary of our own lives and the four walls of our home. Many men and women around the world have a sincere yearning to improve the collective experience of mankind,” says McCurties. “In this lecture, I will explain how God’s loving and saving power is the greatest agent for change, and that through a right understanding of God, His power can be seen and felt right here and now, bringing health and peace to the world.”

We hope that you will join us for this life-changing event!
Background: The first talk on Christian Science was held in the Fall of 1900, at the Grand Opera House (7th and Cherry), by Judge Ewing. The Grand Opera House was managed by an early member of First Church of Christ, Scientist - Terre Haute, Theodore Barhydt. Nearly every year since that date at least one public lecture has been sponsored in Terre Haute. It is interesting to note that the church itself was not formally organized until 1902! You can find out more about the history of the Church in Terre Haute by clicking "More" at the top of the page, and then selecting "Historical Sketch."
