Latest update 10/6/24)

  1. From Message to The Mother Church for 1901 by Mary Baker Eddy:  "To my sense the Sermon on the Mount, read each Sunday without comment and obeyed throughout the week, would be enough for Christian practice."  Following on this thought, everyone is invited to assemble in our Reading Room on the first Monday of the month at 1:00 p.m. for a reading of the Sermon on the Mount.  The next session (on October 7) will include reading of the Sermon from the Amplified Bible.  If you have a copy, please bring it with you.  (updated 9/10/24)
     
  2. Latest Sentinel Watch:  Tackling the Underlying Threat to Democracy
    This Sentinel Watch features Mark Sappenfeld, Editor of The Christian Science Monitor.  Here is a description:  "There are signs of deep political divisions around the world. Many have polarized into camps in which each side is convinced it is right and is unwilling to listen to the other. What's the remedy? [Mark Sappenfield has] been thinking and praying a lot about this. He shares what he feels is one of the key underlying issues in this divide, and how we might pray about it, too."  Deb notes that much of Mark's presentation refers to the Sermon on the Mount.  Click the following to access a page with a link to this presentation:  https://sentinel.christianscience.com/sentinel-audio/sentinel-watch.   (added 8/26/24)
     
  3. Hymn sing plan
    Our after-church hymn sings will be held only on the first Sunday of even-numbered months.  Accordingly, the next hymn sing will be after church on December 1.  Of course, the focus will be on Christmas hymns and carols.  The second-Sunday plan will remain, alternating between gathering in the Sunday School and going out for lunch.  (updated 10/6/24)
     
  4. The Sermon on the Mount at The Mother Church's Reading Room

  5. Press-Tribune ad - September
    Every week for many years, we have had an ad in the Press-Tribune's "Community Worship Services" section, along with similar sections in the Rocklin Placer Herald and the Loomis News.  For most of that time, the content of the ad has changed very little.  For the month of Sepember, our ad will highlight Sunday School.  Click here to see the ad.  (updated 8/20/24)
     
  6. Jointly Maintained CS Reading Room Facebook page
    With the imminent dissolution of the Jointly Maintained Reading Room, its Facebook page will be terminated effective August 30.  Special announcement:  The Davis Church will assume sponsorship of the page within the next few weeks, and it will include daily inspirational postings as before.  The new page address will be announced here when it is available.  (updated 8/26/24)
