Why everyone is needed - Finding value through feeling God's love
James Shepherd, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, will present his talk, "Why everyone is needed," at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 15 at the Rock Island Library, Watts-Midtown Branch, 2715 30th Street, Rock Island.
The talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible, especially in Christ Jesus' life and teachings, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free, open to the community, and sponsored by First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Moline.
"I love exploring the nature of God, infinite Love, as the only cause, and our unbreakable connection to God as God's offspring," says Shepherd. "This connection gives us our purpose and worth by seeing everyone from a more God-like, or spiritual, point of view. I've experienced how this has an impact on my life and on the lives of others."
James Shepherd has been a Christian Science practitioner for many years, helping people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer. He travels from his home base in Eugene, Oregon, to speak to audiences as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
