RELIGION NOTES | Start the year with a loving God


January 4, 2013 · Updated 4:30 PM 

Start the New Year out strongly with the knowledge that God knows and loves everyone: “God has heard me; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer” (Psalms 66:19).

Sometimes the physical world and its demands and limitations create the feeling that spirituality exists in such a different realm that one can never reconnect with that peaceful aspect of life. Yet, we have examples from the Bible to illustrate that connecting is possible in the here and now.

On Sunday, Jan. 6, the Christian Science service explores the permanent connection to the spirituality that Jesus taught and that can never be broken.

Services begin at 10:30 a.m. at 15910 Highway 525, just north of Bayview and across from Useless Bay Road. Sunday school is available during services. Everyone is welcome at this New Year’s first service to celebrate the omnipresence of God and at every service.
