Thank you to all of you! I had just read in the previous weeks a book and was pretty sad about the decline of membership numbers in Christian Science. I didn't know how to deal with it. Then you come along with your message of "unity," the way my daughter [who came to the Hamburg meeting] expressed it, "unity as a basic metaphysical principle." A big light bulb went on for her. And I, too, know now what I have to do.
I experienced something else that was wonderful. Before I left the house for the meeting I read again very thoroughly the letter of December 28, 2009 [the invitation to the meeting by The Christian Science Publishing Society]. I was filled with such a warming sense of gratitude in a way I have truly never felt before. That included the hosting church. Result: I realized while still on the way that I'm going to get a credit card as soon as possible. And that the cost is not going to be important to me. And then I put some cash into the donation box of Second Church. I was so thoroughly happy and grateful for everything. Thank you! Thank you!
