Open House TODAY – March 18

We will be opening our doors to the general public, as well as to visitors from other religious and spiritual communities, today, Sunday, March 18, 2012 between 2-4pm.

This event is the sixth installment of the Sharing Sacred Spaces project, in which eight different communities of faith and practice in Chicago are inviting others in for an opportunity to observe, experience and learn what makes their space sacred.

Come and learn what Christian Scientists believe and practice. Learn about our focus on spiritual education and healing. Find out what Christian Science Reading Rooms are all about. Explore our distinctive building and spend time in our sacred space. Bring questions, engage with others.  The doors will be open. Come on in!

Moment of Silence 3/11/2012

Quote

The first shocks of Japan’s tsunami came on March 9, 2011.  One year later the challenges our neighbors there are facing are huge.  You are invited to join in a global moment of silence Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 2:46 pm (your time) to reflect and offer your prayers for this region of the world.  Following the moment of silence everyone is invited to Twitter with the hashtag #oneyearlater to let the Japanese people know of our continued support.

This event is being sponsored by Japan Society and GOOD.

Click on the photo below to listen to an inspiring series of “Love notes to Japan” compiled a year ago.  Let the messages of love continue to flow:  More resources about “Praying for Japan” can be found on this link at christianscience.com.
