Ideas for studying the lesson on "Ancient and Modern. . ." for December 1, 2019

REMINDER: NO CONFERENCE CALL ON THANKSGIVING THURSDAY!

Dear friends,

Each week I do five conference calls to study the lesson more deeply. They are offered five different times, but the content is pretty much the same. The conference calls are supported by Peace Haven Nursing Association as a gift to the wider Christian Science Community. The purpose is to encourage deeper study of the Scriptures.

If you are interested in joining me on a FREE phone conference call during this week to go more deeply into the lesson on “Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced”, just call me at 618 980 2207 or email me at kathy@peacehavenassociation.org. I will send you the times they are offered and the phone numbers to call in on. On the Monday of each week, you will receive handouts that I will use during the conference call.

2019 Fall Appeal

Thank you for participating in the Bible Study of the lesson sermon each week, the program has grown and we are sharing with an average of 650-700 people each week – that includes onsite and conference call-in participants. Peace Haven is so grateful to be able to share this wonderful resource with the community. If you didn’t already know our care facility is currently conducting its 2019 Fall Appeal that benefits Peace Haven’s Operating Fund. Our Fall Appeal goal is to raise $75,000 by December 31, 2019 and all gifts are being matched by a generous donor. 

Your loving support for all of our programs not only benefits our Christian Science facility, but also helps finance the programs for the community such as this Bible study activity, inspirational articles, metaphysical talks, and more.
