Dear Friends, Do you know of a friend who might enjoy being on the conference calls? If you do, have them call Sue Merrill (no relation to me) at 281-808-3731 or email sue@suemerrill.com to sign up. She will send them an email with the procedures and the call-in numbers.
To sign up, we will need their email, their phone number, and their name. All five times (Tuesday 7:00 am, Tuesday 7:00 pm, Wednesday 11:30, Thursday 11:30, Thursday 1:30) are available, open, and FREE. On the Monday of the week, they will receive handouts in their email that I’ll use during the lesson sessions.

ATTENTION: ST LOUIS-ILLINOIS CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS:
If you live in the St Louis area, my sister Kristy Christian will be giving a two-day Bible workshop sponsored by Peace Haven Association and Biblos Foundation. It will be March 1-2, 2019 at Peace Haven on 12630 Rott Road. The cost is $195.00.
"God Giveth Us the Victory" (I Cor: 15:57)
“. . . thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Cor. 15:57), Paul writes to the church in Corinth. He also comments that “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal” (II Cor. 10:4). Are we not prompted to ponder the nature of a war that does not require material weapons, nor does it demand that we wrestle against flesh and blood (see Eph. 6:12)? Join us March 1 and 2, 2019, for a deeper study of this “divine method of warfare” (Science and Health 568:6), as outlined in the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s writings.
Our discussion will cover several narratives in both the Old and New Testaments which develop our theme and reveal how, with God, we can expect complete victory over any challenge that might confront us.
A few of the questions that we will explore:
What is our spiritual means of defense?
What is the significance of the “whole armour of God,” described in Ephesians?
Over what do we become victorious?
