For Valerie Unger, “Feed my sheep”—instruction from Christ Jesus that she has been thinking a great deal about lately—serves as an apt job description. As Manager of Branch and Reading Room Activities at The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, she has found this to be a guiding light for her and her colleagues in nurturing its branches and societies, and in helping strengthen their foundation in Christ-healing.
So, last September, when The Mother Church’s Christian Science Board of Directors invited members of its branches and societies to think and pray more deeply about their healing mission—individually and collectively—the office of Branch and Reading Room Activities naturally supported these meetings.
Val, tell us how your office is involved in supporting the church meetings that are going on now.
