I became a member of The Mother Church in November 2011, and I am so excited to have made this commitment. It has helped me feel more a part of something that I care so deeply about.
I had just joined my local branch church in Bothell, Washington, in August 2011, after attending Sunday and Wednesday services there for a couple of years. I had learned about Christian Science from a co-worker, and was drawn to the sense of love that I felt each time I attended church. Once I learned more about Christian Science, I realized that the healing component made sense to me, and that this movement was
something I wanted to be a part of. I felt that as a member of both my branch church and The Mother Church, I could be more connected to the goals of the Church and the goals of Christian Scientists—to be healers for their individual communities and for the whole world.
I feel that being a member of The Mother Church comes with its responsibilities. We don't become members simply to be passive attendees at church, or just to have a piece of paper that says we are a member; there is more to it than that.
