TO HEALING

Free lecture by Lisa Troseth, CSB

Sunday, March 17, 2024 @ 2:00 p.m.

Oxford Exchange
420 W. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa, FL

About the Lecture
Fear can seem inevitable–part of who we are. But understanding God’s all-embracing love can overcome fear, reveal peace, and move life forward.

Lecturer Bio
“What should I do with my life?” Lisa often wondered during her early twenties. She wasn’t sure where she was headed, but she was praying to be of service to humanity. That’s when it occurred to her: If we’re motivated by love in whatever we’re doing, even if our efforts seem small on the surface, then we’ll be living in accord with a power that genuinely makes a difference—the power of God, which the Bible says is Love itself.

Never Too Late to Experience Freedom

Free talk by Patricia Woodard, C.S.

Sunday, April 2, 2023 @ 2:00 p.m.

First Church of Christ, Scientist, Tampa
408 Grand Central Avenue, Tampa, FL

About the Lecture
A fresh perspective on God and God’s creation brings healing now, just as it did in Jesus’ time. Talk about freedom!

Lecturer Bio
I discovered Christian Science as an adolescent and soon thereafter experienced the complete healing of a broken arm through Christian Science treatment, to the amazement of my mother, a registered nurse.

After working in New York City in the fashion business, I realized I wanted to help children learn how to learn. So I returned to school and got a Masters of Arts in Teaching. This desire to help others and my love of Christian Science impelled me to set time aside to pray for others. While a mother of two children, I became a full-time Christian Science practitioner, and have pursued a lifelong career of learning about God, sharing Truth, and witnessing God’s love for mankind.
