The Science of God and its Power to Heal Us
Misconceptions about ourselves and the world we live in are often corrected by advances in science which bring paradigm shifts to our ways of thinking and understanding existence — like discovering that the earth revolves around the sun, rather than the other way around.
The current matter-based scientific model leaves many questions unanswered and has some thinkers and scientists questioning if it is still the right model. It is interesting to consider if the time has now come for another major paradigm shift in science – a shift that would include God as the center and circumference of all existence. This paradigm shift in thought begins with the questions - how does science relate to God and is there a science that explains God?
Nikki will address these questions and show how the Science of God explains Jesus’ healings, and teachings, makes God knowable and understandable, and provides humanity with a safe and reliable means for caring for ourselves and each other.
Nikki will also share some of her own experiences of the transforming, healing power of God gained through understanding this Science of God, or Christian Science. She will explain how this healing happens, and what role consciousness plays in the process.
Come for a talk by a Christian Science practitioner Nicola O'Hagan, CS on Sunday, November 8th at 1 p.m. All are welcome.

The Science of Christianity: Divine Love in Action
Science and Christianity might seem to be incompatible, but in fact they underpinned the teachings and healing ministry of Christ Jesus. The Science of Christianity teaches us about God, Love, in a new way—a way that helps us more clearly understand the truth about ourselves and about God. This Science, when applied, helps us to feel God’s presence, sets us free from problems we are facing, and changes our lives and the lives of others for the better.
Come for a talk by a Christian Science practitioner and teacher Edwina Aubin, CSB on Tuesday, October 20th at 7 p.m. All are welcome.

Ann Kneeland, a Christian Science practitioner and lecturer, shares real-life examples of spiritual healing.

We can all experience joy and freedom through a deeper trust in God's presence and power.

When finding solutions seems difficult, it’s often because we are having trouble knowing what matters. But the right kind of vision (hint: it's spiritual) allows us to discern what is actually important. Christian Science reveals what is essential, brings solutions, and enables us to live God-impelled lives that bless our families and communities.

An Afternoon with Maestro Hector Olivera
Join us for An Afternoon with Maestro Hector Olivera, a passionate, gifted, and unique musician, whose personal interpretations of both classical and popular music have amazed and delighted audiences around the world.
Born in Buenos Aires, Mr. Olivera was appointed organist of the Church of the Immaculate Conception at age 5.
In 1965, New York’s prestigious Juilliard School of Music offered him a scholarship. He immediately moved to the United States to study with Vernon de Tar and Bronson Reagan. Three years later, Mr. Olivera won the National Improvisation Contest sponsored by the American Guild of Organists, thereby launching his outstanding professional concert career.
Most famous for his prodigious technical proficiency and charismatic stage presence, Mr. Olivera’s amazing effect on audiences has made many of the most sophisticated and demanding organ aficionados claim that Maestro Hector Olivera is “one of the greatest organists in the world today.”
Enjoy the concert on our Casavant pipe organ (Opus 3942, 3 manuals, 40 ranks, 2018) in our historic, Dallas church.
