Purpose in church

From the January 2023 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A couple of decades ago when I was elected to conduct the services of my branch Church of Christ, Scientist, as First Reader, I remember looking forward to my new upcoming responsibilities and also wondering what my purpose would be as a First Reader. I knew I wanted to serve God and my fellow man, and I knew I wanted to witness church growth.
