Talk considers God’s perfect creation
On Sunday, March 7, come to the Christian Science Church as the congregation explores what it means to be free from the belief that we are less than perfect or that God would create anything less than perfect.
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness … So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Genesis 1:26).
“The admission to one’s self that man is God’s own likeness sets man free to master the infinite idea” (“Science and Health”).
Services begin at 10:30 a.m. at 15910 Highway 525 (just north of Bayview and across from Useless Bay Road). Everyone is welcome.
