Ideas for studying the lesson on "Sacrament" for July 12, 2020

Dear friends,

A friend sent me the link to watch “The Book of Daniel” on youtube, so it is FREE. It’s a good movie to learn about Daniel and the kings that he served. I can’t seem to get it up on the blog, but if you want the link, just email me and I will send it to you. www.louryn4@gmail.com

WHY DO WE KNEEL AND PRAY IN THE COMMUNION SERVICE?

Praying in Communion Services: by Mrs. Eddy  CSJ August 1889 & quoted in Mrs. Hoag's article below:

"The sacrament shall be observed ... by a short interval of solemn and silent self-examination by each member, as to his or her fitness to be called a follower of Christ, Truth; as to his real state of love toward man, and fellowship and communion with Christ; as to whether he is gaining in the understanding and demonstration of Truth and Love, coming out from the world and being separated from error; growing less selfish, more charitable and spiritual, yea, walking worthy of his high calling.”

“One should turn into his consciousness with renewed carefulness the ever- searching light of Truth. Shall it not be a specific time for purging from one's thought all that is unworthy and untrue?”
