Keeping association meetings fresh and lively

From the February 1988 issue of The Christian Science Journal


No two seasons, no two summers or springs, are ever just the same. An annual meeting of the Christian Science Students Association in which we may be a member is individually distinguished, too; as unique as the particular season in which it falls. Its very heart is divine Life and Love affirming itself—and Life, timeless and ever new in its self-revealing, never merely echoes itself. Life expresses itself with unending liveliness and brilliance. And does so eternally and omnipresently.

Association meetings, spiritually approached, can't have any of the grays of repetitiveness. An annual event, yes, but not one that is stamped out of a mold. We're informed of such human details as time and place. But primarily we need to be aware of the spiritual realities of the day, seeing the uniqueness of the event, the reality of it as a divine happening.

Our association meeting is not just a traditional occurrence to be observed, or merely one more listing on our Christian Science calendar. Nor is it only a gathering we're attending just because we belong to the Christian Science denomination and have had class instruction in its teachings. It is one evidence, among a multitude, of divine Life revealing its own nature as man's very substance and being.
