Our Reading Room is always staffed by a church member who will listen and talk with anyone who wants to learn more about the Bible, Christian Science and how prayer heals.
In our comfortably furnished study room, you can read the Weekly Bible Lesson, listen to CDs or tapes, or read the Christian Science Sentinel and Christian Science Journal—both of which have published confirmed testimonies of healing for more than 100 years.
