Activities after lecture in Wichita KS

We had some great results from the meetings we scheduled in our Reading Room
after your lecture and I wanted to share them with you. These were meetings scheduled for the next few weeks to listen on the spirituality.com site to "chats" from the past, with subjects specified in our lecture handout.

At the first chat that we scheduled, I think we had 6 loyal members, and that was a very icy, snowy, cold day! At the second one last week we had 10 people! One was brand new to Christian Science from the lecture. She said her husband's grandmother is a Christian Scientist and she admires her, saw our lecture ads, and came. We also had 6 members, 1 regular attendee, one new attendee, and one out-of town Christian Scientist from 60 miles away. In addition, at the beginning of the chat a young lady came in (perhaps noticing a crowd gathering) and asked if she could buy
a paper here. I told her we had the CS Monitor. I think she was really initially looking for the Wichita Eagle, but she bought a Christian Science Monitor! And at the end of the chat, another young lady came in, asking about Christian Science. Barbara talked with her, answered a few questions, and invited her to come back next week for the next chat. She indicated that she would try.

By the way, we did receive some more information about the shooting at a wake the weekend of the lecture that you asked me about. It was apparently part of a continuing battle between two gangs from Laos. We didn't even know we had them here, but we (and others in the community) are working on that now.

Thank you again for coming to Wichita!
