While in my teens, after going through a very challenging time in my life, I took up the study of Christian Science. I attended a branch church, read the Christian Science Bible Lesson and the periodicals, and spent a lot of time in prayer. I found much comfort and needed direction in my life, and I developed some wonderful friendships at church, which met a real need for companionship.
A few years later, I decided to join The Mother Church because I felt so blessed by Christian Science and wanted to be a part of the worldwide movement. I really appreciated the tender, mothering love the Church extends to its members in all parts of the world. I wanted to contribute financially and prayerfully to the activities of The Mother Church. The all-inclusiveness of this Church reminds me of what Mary Baker Eddy says on page 19 of the Church Manual, “… thus to reflect in some degree the Church Universal and Triumphant.”
