Title: The kingdom of heaven: at hand and within

Speaker: Joan Hellmund, C.S.

Assignment:  

In times of seeming personal, political and social upheaval, who doesn’t yearn for more “heaven”? We sense something of this kingdom of heaven well up in us at Association when we hear “Welcome home.”  It is central to the teachings and healings of Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy.  

In these next months, as fellow students of Christian Science, let’s seek a deeper understanding of this ever-present kingdom of heaven – in Jesus’ parables, the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord’s Prayer with its spiritual interpretation, the Daily Prayer, in hymns and throughout our Leader’s writings. Then, when we come together, we can share the discoveries, healings, and possibilities through living in this kingdom where “with God all things are possible.”
