The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

Thank you for this post. There is something so utterly uplifting about hymns that I feel they are heaven sent and one of the greatest gifts. There is a God-blessed reason that churches have magnificent organs and as Christian Scientists we are blessed with an especially wonderful hymnal.

Some of the most memorable testimonies I have recalled involved singing hymns at a piano into the night, or just simply singing hymns, one after the other. The uplifting effect inevitably brought healing, and it’s that state of joy that hymns lift us into that brings about the needed release from whatever earth-weight was the problem. I sometimes sing through Mrs. Eddy’s hymns, and it is always transformative.
