A vivid memory of my time as a pupil in the Christian Science Sunday School is the love that my Sunday School teachers had for the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, and for the Bible Lessons from the Christian Science Quarterly, consisting of citations from those two books. These dedicated teachers introduced me to the teachings and healings of our Way-shower, Christ Jesus. I also learned about many other men and women in the Bible, and gained a familiarity with the books of the Bible. And I learned how Science and Health sheds light on the Bible and on Christ Jesus’ words and works.
My clearest memory is of the teacher I had when I was in seventh grade. She was a single mom with two children. In spite of her busy schedule, each week she prepared a list of questions relating to that week’s Bible Lesson and sent it to the students in her class. We each read the Bible Lesson during the week to prepare for the class discussion on Sunday. This Sunday School class sparked a realization that the weekly Bible Lessons would help meet our individual needs.
