An expectation of growth in the church
The second half of this meeting is for your testimonies, experiences, or remarks on Christian Science.
You can submit a written testimony here at any time, and it will be read during the meeting.
Prelude
Hymn 439
As a fire is meant for burning
With a bright and warming flame,
So a church is meant for healing
Giving glory to God’s name.
Not to preach mere creed or custom,
But to prove God’s loving care,
We join hands across the nations,
Finding neighbors everywhere.
As a green bud in the springtime
Is a sign of life renewed,
May we grow as signs of oneness
’Mid earth’s peoples, many hued.
As a rainbow lights the heavens
When a storm is past and gone,
May our lives reflect the radiance
Of God’s new and glorious dawn.
We are learners; we are teachers;
We are pilgrims on the way.
We are bearers of the gospel,
We are children of the day.
By our gentle, loving actions
We would show that Christ is light.
With a humble, listening spirit
We would live to God’s delight.
Hymn 439. Words: Ruth Duck, adapt. Music: American melody, White and King’s The Sacred Harp, 1844; harm. CSPS (BEACH SPRING)
Readings
From the Bible, and correlative passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
Silent Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Hymn 261
One holy church of God appears
Through every age and race,
Unwasted by the lapse of years,
Unchanged by changing place.
From oldest time, on farthest shores,
Beneath the pine or palm,
One unseen presence she adores,
With silence or with psalm.
Her priests are all God’s faithful sons,
To serve the world raised up;
The pure in heart her baptized ones;
Love, her communion cup.
Hymn 261. Words: Samuel Longfellow. Music: John B. Calkin (NOX PRAECESSIT)

Hymn 176
Long hast thou stood, O church of God,
Long mid the tempest’s assailing,
Founded secure on timeless rock
Rises thy light, never failing;
Shining that all may understand
What has been wrought by God’s command,
O’er night and chaos prevailing.
Let there be light, and light was there,
Clear as the Word that declared it;
Healing and peace to all it gave,
Who in humility shared it.
Ah, they were faithful, they who heard,
Steadfast their trust in God’s great Word,
Steadfast the Love that prepared it.
Let there be light, the Word shines forth,
Lo, where the new morning whitens;
O church of God, with Book unsealed,
How its page beacons and brightens.
Living stones we, each in his place,
May we be worthy such a grace,
While Truth the wide earth enlightens.
Hymn 176. Words: based on the Danish of Nikolaj F. S. Grundtvig. Music: Kirken den er et gammelt hus, Ludvig M. Lindeman (CHURCH)
