Although I don’t remember lots of specifics about Sunday School as a child, I know it provided me with a strong foundation in Christian Science. I accepted without question that God is Love and that Love heals. I know that came from all of the loving guidance I received from my parents and from my Sunday School teachers. I also became familiar with Bible stories and hymns, which gave me comfort and brought healing when I wasn’t feeling well. It wasn’t until high school, though, that I really started using Sunday School as a resource.
At the time, I was playing soccer on two different teams, working hard to get good grades in school, and trying to figure out who I was and who I wanted to be. These were all reasons for me to turn to Christian Science to find answers and healing.
Each week, my Sunday School teacher would begin class by checking in with me. We’d talk about my week, my interests and challenges, and then we would discuss which ideas from the weekly Christian Science Bible Lesson, the Bible, or Mary Baker Eddy’s writings, we could apply to those challenges. This process continued to solidify a strong foundation and taught me how to become a more independent healer.
