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 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 “Man”, 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.

The Bible Lesson on “Man” for this week includes the concept of our ORIGIN throughout the whole lesson. Look for words like: birth, born, origin, offspring, source, Father-Mother, image-reflection, face to face, etc. This lesson handles false concepts of origin such as DNA, genetics, heredity, ancestry, etc.

CHILDREN’S IDEAS:
Keep track of the healings you are going over by highlighting in yellow the names of the healings. For instance, in this week’s lesson there is the “Man with Unclean spirit” and the “Raising of Lazarus”
In a few weeks, ask your class what healings they can name.
