Church edifice
God is Speaking to You
Well over 100 people filled the church including numerous invitees and visitors. There were about 6 young people in the audience. Several African American visitors came, one with a little girl. One visitor was a woman in charge of something regarding the Catholic diocese. She took a lot of notes as we talked about how to pray. There were a couple visitors who would be similar to the homeless population, although not necessarily homeless who spoke with me and several members afterward.
A grown daughter came to her first lecture at her mother’s invitation. She loved the lecture and told her mother afterward that she was so glad she’d come. She understood what her mother had been trying to tell her about Christian Science.
A retired Baptist minister told me how much he’d enjoyed the lecture and that he’d heard every word even though he’d been having a problem hearing for awhile. He was grateful that he could hear every word of the lecture.
Several people came to tell me how God had spoken to them and the healings they’d had. One woman shared a healing of blindness which she’d had with a local Christian Science practitioner. She’d been legally blind for 15 years and was healed in Christian Science. She loved the lecture and commented on the Christly atmosphere.
Several people brought spouses or friends. One woman said everyone she’d invited came to the lecture and enjoyed it. Another woman said she’d invited a Jewish friend who even took down the New Testament references. Another visitor said she realized that she needed to tune out the static more, that was what was hindering her prayers. Several Christian Scientists mentioned that they got a lot out of the lecture yet it was stated in terms that someone not familiar with Christian Science could understand.
There was a very special holy atmosphere in this lecture which was felt by everyone including me.

Although there were lots of other things to do on her list for Sunday, my fifteen year old grandaughter came with us to Elise Moore's lecture, "God is speaking to you". What a blessing! Late Sunday night, my grandaughter e-mailed me (subject line: "Thanks for taking me to the speech!!!!!!") She said a friend from school had texted her that he was planning on using pills as a method to commit suicide. She remembered a story Mrs. Moore related at the lecture, and texted back to her friend to think of ten things that were good in his life. She also told him the good things far outweighed the bad, which would just disappear from his life when he thought of the good. She continued messages to him reminding him of the things he did well, and he responded with "Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow!" She was so happy to tell me that all is well. This was proof that lots of us were listening for God's voice speaking to us.
