The preparations of the heart in man,
and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.
Proverbs 16:1

We are but days away from the Annual Meeting of The First Church of Christ, Scientist. Preparations have been under way for some time, and final touches are being put in place in Boston. A warm welcome is awaiting. This year’s theme from Galatians 5:25 “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” encourages true discipleship.

High Ridge House, too, is preparing for this year’s Annual Meeting of The Mother Church. Not everyone is able to attend in person. If that is your circumstance, we welcome you to join us to watch online. There is a sense of unity and community when we participate in our Church’s Annual Meeting together. We would love to share this special time with you.

Although some work is necessary for us to accommodate our staff and guests, the more important work is the preparation of the heart. May we all turn to God for the individual angel thoughts that prepare us to hear and understand and act on the inspired messages that the Annual Meeting will bring to each of us.

Mary Baker Eddy offers an interesting challenge in her Extemporaneous Remarks at a July 4 Sunday Service:

“Will you doff your lavender-kid zeal, and become real and consecrated warriors?
Answer at once and practically, and answer aright!”
(Miscellaneous Writings p.177: 14-15;19-20)

In our preparations of the heart to receive the message that has been lovingly prepared, we also find ourselves prepared to answer with willing hearts the message we receive.

PLEASE JOIN US TO WATCH THE ANNUAL MEETING
Monday, June 4th at 1:00 PM
High Ridge House
5959 Independence Avenue
Riverdale, New York 10471

With gratitude and love from all of us,

Marivic B. Mabanag
