On June 6, 1999, a special meeting was held in The Mother Church Sunday School in Boston to introduce World Wide Weekend 2000, a global initiative of the Church of Christ, Scientist, focusing on healing, youth, and the Christian Science Sunday School.
The meeting opened with a brief description of World Wide Weekend 2000 and its purpose:
To support and engage members and Sunday School students in further recognizing and proving the vital and unique healing role of the Christian Science Sunday School for themselves, their families, their communities, and the world.
