“Start at the beginning.
Start with God.”
– Nicole Virgil, C.S., Lecturer
Join us Tuesday evening, March 10th, at 7:00PM in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE INVITED to a lecture by Nicole Virgil C.S., a practitioner and healer of Christian Science. The talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free, open to the community, and hosted by Tenth Church of Christ, Scientist, Los Angeles.
When finding solutions seems difficult, it’s often because we are having trouble knowing what matters…
the right kind of vision (hint: it’s spiritual) allows us to discern what is actually important.
About the lecture
When finding solutions seems difficult, it’s often because we are having trouble knowing what matters. But the right kind of vision (hint: it’s spiritual) allows us to discern what is actually important. Christian Science reveals what is essential, brings solutions, and enables us to live God-impelled lives that bless our families and communities.
“You have to be able to sort out what matters from what doesn’t matter.” Virgil adds, “If you’ve heard the expression, ‘garbage in, garbage out,’ you know we don’t want to start with garbage. Start at the beginning. Start with God. Going in order wakes us up from a distorted view of reality.”
Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Virgil will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy.
Virgil will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, who strove to understand, demonstrate, and teach what she was learning about Christian healing.. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand, “He that believes on me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible).
About our speaker
Nicole Virgil, C.S.
Nicole’s father was a free-lance church organist, and her parents attended services at many different Christian churches in New England. Her mom had been on a years-long search to find out how to practice Christian healing just as Jesus did, and when she started attending Christian Science church services, she found what she was looking for. As a result, Nicole was raised in Christian Science, and developed a deep desire for an intimate relationship with God.
Nicole studied Christian Science with her mom and music with her dad, and found that each discipline complemented the other. Christian Science healed performance anxiety, while learning music honed the skills she needed for spiritual practice — skills such as intuition, listening, patience and diligence. Throughout her life, Christian Science and music have always overlapped: after studying opera at music school, she took her one-woman opera review program (That Can’t Be Opera!) on the road, educating audiences about opera by singing Mozart, Puccini, and Menotti. Christian Science guided her through this entrepreneurial endeavor, just as it led her to start soloing in churches as a teenager (which is something she still loves to do!) — Nicole eventually married, started a family with her husband, and entered the public practice of Christian Science.
Today Nicole enjoys raising children, gardening, soloing in church, and witnessing the healing effect of Christian Science.
