This Moment of Your Living by Godfrey John
From Ideas On Wings, published 1978 by the Christian Science Publishing Society
You’re alive—not merely existing. You are: you’re not trying to be. Discover the life of the moment—this moment of your living.
NOT YOU
Not you—as an amalgam of happenings, you-as-you-were a decade, a moment, ago: to ask What was I? is to be blind to the fact of presence. Man is not a chronology. Not you as a mosaic of hopes and fears: to ask What will I be? is to stop discovering. Not you content with a status quo: a cup of years spilling satisfaction over the hour. Not even you-as-you-becoming—
BUT YOU BEING
You spiritually. You in the action of being you where being is the emanation of I AM. “I AM hath sent me unto you”: Being, God, impels man, breathes through him Love’s incentives. Soul’s expression now, you go as His fragrance in every place.
This is your felt unity with Him. Moment by moment.
Soul plants pure desires along your days. The innocence of what you are flares through the guilt of what you are not. Like cyclamen in the winter sun: not withholding, not seeking to hold—but giving out help simply by being what it is—moment by moment.
YOU TIMELESSLY
Not you in the moment. But this moment of you—brilliantly, immaculately. Knowing is being. Infinitely. Mind’s allness, Mind’s oneness never stops being known. As man-idea, woman-idea—one idea—in God’s thought, you are instantly understood, always being known; you have Soul’s mobility within this hourless knowing: the dance fulfilling the dancer without end, as beauty in the unspoken, as rhythm in what is still.
DISCOVERING
To ask Who am I? is to be irrelevant. To ask What am I? is to be blind to substance, to the isness of Spirit where you are.
Ask, How am I being?
Man is what he’s being—Love’s pure idea—birthlessly real.
Love’s meaning is your meaning at each moment of new awakening—at the precision-timing of Principle. Here you are learning to be what you are. Beautifully. Brilliantly. Preciously. Agelessly. Mightily. Deathlessly. Yes, as a psalm spills over you. Yes, in this fond discovering of you. You are what you are because I AM THAT I AM. Now. Moment by moment by moment by moment

More about our Sunday Service
During the one hour Sunday service, we sing hymns, pray and hear a sermon read from the Bible and from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. The sermon comes from the Christian Science Quarterly Bible Lessons.
Twenty-six subjects are covered twice a year in our weekly Bible Lessons. Each Lesson is fresh, specially prepared for that week.
Each Bible Lesson sermon offers inspiring, thought-provoking passages from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. These passages provide a basis for ongoing independent study of the Bible and Science and Health.
Wednesday Meeting
The meeting begins with inspirational readings from the Bible and Science and Health. Then individuals share testimonies of gratitude and healing they have are experiencing in their lives.
Sunday school
“And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord;
and great shall be the peace of thy children.”
Isaiah 54:13
Our Sunday school meets every Sunday at 10:00 AM. We are open to all children and teenagers in our community who are under 20 years old.
The Sunday school students are taught from the Bible. Their first studies will include the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, and Christ Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, including the Beatitudes.
As classes progress, lessons are taken from the Christian Science weekly Bible Lessons and include questions and answers appropriate to the students' age.
Sunday school students learn how to apply their understanding of the Bible and God to their daily activities and how to live as modern-day disciples of Jesus.
The Sunday School held a workshop on "How can we be
better healers?" in February 2009. Check out the report!
