“Did you know that the Christian Science Society here has been providing spiritual solace to Drexe Hill for over 40 years?”
Stepping back from the imposing facade of the Christian Science Society, I invite you to consider the quiet strength that resides within these very walls. This place of worship, founded on the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy, embodies a profound sense of healing and wholeness. Though you might not be inclined toward the spiritual, I encourage you to allow your mind to wander through the story of this community.
The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts is the heart of Christian Science, and the community here in Drexe Hill proudly takes its place as a branch of that larger movement. Its story in Drexe Hill is marked by a deep connection to the principles of Christian Science, and the powerful sense of community that it embodies. And it’s not just about the past.
The Christian Science Society thrives in the present, offering a haven for those seeking spiritual guidance and support. You are welcome to join them for Sunday Service and Sunday School at 11:00 AM, Wednesday Testimony Meeting at 7:30 PM or Christmas Day Service, which takes place on December 25th at 2:00 PM.
And for anyone seeking a moment of reflection, the Reading Room is open on Tuesdays, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and on Wednesdays, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. It’s a place where you can find peace and quiet, browse through books and literature.
This is not simply a building. What we are looking at is a testament to the enduring power of faith, offering a refuge for the community of Drexe Hill. And perhaps, it is a place where you might find a quiet moment of reflection, as well.
