Who are you?
Christian Science lecturer Bosede Bakarey asserts that it’s important to get a correct sense of identity because whatever you are thinking about yourself, that’s how people will see you. Christian Science teaches how to see yourself the way God sees you-as His image and likeness-and the blessings are immeasurable.

People everywhere are looking for solutions. Whether it’s sectarian violence in the Middle East, genocide in Darfur, or domestic violence, solutions can be found through the dynamics of prayer. Christian Science lecturer, Ron Ballard, says, “Social change begins with a change in thought. There is no more effective way of making a difference than prayer.”
Musician and song writer Michelle Armstrong composed an original song for the DC Summit where she performed it. Her lyrics capture the heart and spirit of the Summit experience and emphasize the world’s need of you, “right here, right now.” Get ready to be inspired by a song.

Christian Science lecturer Susie Rynerson talks about “Friends, foes, and more”-and those situations when one person ends up fitting into all three categories. She gets down to the basics of how God supplies all the qualities of good friendships. And she shares how she’s prayed (and how anyone can pray) through not-so-friendly situations, as well as a few ideas to think about when there’s a desire for someone to be more than just a friend.
