A few years ago when a cousin and I were praying together, she told me about a healing her grandfather had that became our family’s introduction to Christian Science. This man, my mother’s eldest brother, had exhausted all medical means and was healed of leukemia in its final stages through Christian Science treatment.
A church formed in our community, holding services in my uncle’s barbershop. And my Sunday School years began soon after.
A few months before my graduation from Sunday School, my dear Sunday School teacher asked me to ponder and pray about what I had to give to branch church membership. This seemed like an odd idea, as I believed that you join church to get, not give something. But I happily considered it.
