“The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between His shoulders.” Deut 33:12 The

So let us rededicate ourselves to really practicing this precious Science; we can’t leave it to someone else to do; it is for each one of us to live, practice and share.
In church, BE the practitioner of the committee you serve on; consider your Reading Room as the place where people come to be healed; and go to church early to pray that everyone who attends that service will feel and respond to the healing Christ, and will walk out healed.
And perhaps here is a good place to share with you a slight change in my activities. Because of a new assignment I have undertaken in the healing practice, I will not be as free to take on individual cases as I have been in the past. This, I hope will turn you lovingly and gently to your ever-present Pastor for help and healing.

“This week’s lesson is all on Spirit, the Word of God, which is “alive, full of power, active, operative, energizing and effective”. That’s the Golden Text this week, and it IS Golden!!! The winds of God, the Spirit of God, is sweeping through every area of your life, and your spiritual sense is revealing to you that you are FILLED with the Spirit.
Spirit is making any wilderness or desert sense like the garden of the Lord, filling you with joy and gladness, with thanksgiving and harmony.
There is no evil spirit that can fool you into thinking that evil is real or powerful; there is no “unrest of mortal thought”, only the “calm and exalted thought and spiritual apprehension which is at peace.”
Dear Fellow Students, This is a very simple message the Father has given me for this month. It is wonderful to know that we all have a NEW start, with a NEW year! We don’t have to drag any of yesterday’s problems into today, because today is new, fresh,...

We are now only a month away from our Love-provided, God-ordained Association Day! I know you are looking forward to what the Father has to say to us all as much as I am!
Let us take this time between now and Association Day to daily mentally and spiritually prepare the soil of thought for the planting of His seeds. When a farmer ploughs his field to plant it with fresh seeds, he does it patiently, thoroughly and diligently. The planting of the Father’s fresh seeds needs the same preparation of thought, and I know that we will all be joyously doing this important work.

“Let us sing of Easter gladness, that rejoices every day….”
And I know this Easter has been glorious, inspired and that you have been dwelling in the resurrection consciousness. I have been pondering our Leader’s words in her Easter Sermon where she wrote:
“What is it that seems a stone between us and the resurrection morning?
It is the belief of mind in matter. We can only come into the spiritual resurrection by quitting the old consciousness of Soul in sense.“ Mis 179:19-23
Dear Fellow Prayers
I can hardly believe that we are gently on the way into spring!!! But it has made me think of my visit to the Holy Land, when I saw shepherds in action on the hillsides of the Sea of Galilee.
I love this monthly opportunity to have a chat with you, and I do hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy listening for them and sharing them.
How are you getting on with your Association Assignment of reading the Textbook? One of you sent me a very interesting article from a recent Christian Science Sentinel about recognizing the God-outlined mission of the Monitor in the same way that we recognize the God-outlined mission of the Textbook.

Dearest Friends,
At this holy Christmas time, I am sending you all an ocean of love. My Christmas message this year is again in the form of a poem, which comes to you with “peace and joy and power.”
This is such a special time of the year, not just for the Christmas festivities, but as a time to ponder the deeper meaning of what Christmas is all about. In researching the way our Leader celebrated Christmas, I love where she writes:
“I celebrate Christmas with my soul, my spiritual sense, and so commemorate the entrance into human understanding of the Christ conceived of Spirit, of God and not of a woman — as the birth of Truth, the dawn of divine Love breaking upon the gloom of matter and evil with the glory of infinite being.

I don’t think there are any of us who are not involved in following these wonderful Olympic games that are taking place right now! Even if the sports are ones that we are not interested in or have no knowledge of, to see individuals who have dedicated their lives to perfecting their art in a particular discipline is truly an inspiration.
The Oatlands Park Hotel, where we are holding the Association this year, is asking us to tell them if we need any more rooms booked for Association week end, as they want to release any rooms we are not using.

Dear Friends,
I know you are all aware that Monday, June 4th, is the Annual Meeting of The MotherChurch, and it will be inspiring to all unite together in prayer as members of The Mother Church on that occasion. This week’s lesson on “God the only Cause and Creator” is sending out a message of inspiration and hope to our troubled world that the true sense of Church is a Sanctuary of peace, healing and brotherhood for all mankind.

This month I would love to share with you a message that a fellow practitioner sent to me recently. It is basically some work she had done on the thinking of the Christian Metaphysician. I found it both inspiring and informative, and thought you might enjoy it too. Here it is:
Good to be in touch again. This month’s website message is coming to you a little earlier in the month than usual as it contains items that need our immediate prayer and attention. It is also rather longer than usual, so please read it when you have a quiet uninterrupted moment as it contains important information – metaphysical and physical!
The following is a message from our AssociationTreasurer, Richard Tarboton, which you may find helpful:

A Happy New Year, dear friends! What an interesting phrase that is! On January 6th, 1895 our Leader delivered the Dedicatory Sermon at The Mother Church, and she opened it with these words: “A new year is a nursling, a babe of time, a prophecy and...
Dear Friends,
I know it is the end of the week when we have had the lesson on Esther, but this article has just come to my notice, and even though we are now on to a new lesson, I thought you might find it helpful in bringing Esther into focus in her true light, as many have found it an unusual account to include in a lesson.
I send you my warm love
Jill
Dearest Friends,
The time of Christmas rejoicings is here again! I know it will be filled with the Christ presence for each of you, and you will feel that renewed sense of the wonder of that first Christmas time. May our love and prayer go out and encircle the globe at this time. Our Leader’s words speak to us directly along these lines:
“Each day I pray for the pacification of all national difficulties, for the brotherhood of man, for the end of idolatry and infidelity, and for the growth and establishment of Christian religion – Christ’s Christianity. I also have faith that my prayer availeth, and that He who is overturning will overturn until He whose right it is shall reign. Each day I pray: ‘God bless my enemies; make them Thy friends; give them to know the joy and the peace of love.’” My 220:14

The Three Great Verities of Spirit
Association Address for 2011.
Accept, understand and demonstrate the three great verities of Spirit in your daily life.
Dear Friends,
This will probably be the last message to you before our Association Day! I am so looking forward to seeing each one of you, and sharing that light that all of us will bring to that day. Each of us will be bringing our demonstrated understanding of the Christ to this special day.
You may remember the lovely story of the little church, built high up on a hill where there was no electricity, and every Sunday each member of that church brought their own candle to light the church. In this way the whole building was ablaze with light. I know that this can be the case on our Association Day, with everyone bringing his or her own radiant light to the meeting.
Dear Friends, I am sure you are having a lovely summer, and that you have Association Day very much on your agenda and calender for the next few months. I have been thinking recently about modern day parables and examples to enable us to understand and practice the...

Dear Friends,
Thank you all so much for your immediate and dedicated prayer over the so called flu epidemic that the world was confronting at our last newsletter. The fact that it has almost completely disappeared from our news media speaks for itself!
I have had so many requests for help in how to understand this week’s lesson on “Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, denounced” and its emphasis on parts of the book of Revelation that we are not normally familiar with, that I thought it might be helpful to share a few ideas on this. This lesson really demands us to be STUDENTS of Christian Science, not just readers of the lesson!!
