God’s love is for everyone, and a Christian Science lecture is a perfect setting to learn about God’s love and the healing that it brings.

James has seen the healing effects of God’s love since he was a youngster, romping through the woods around his home with his three brothers. They had their share of scrapes and bruises which were quickly healed through prayer. On the rare occasions they felt sick, they relied on Christian Science for quick healings.

In high school his family moved to a ranch where they had cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, chickens, and turkeys. He graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree in agriculture, but realized that serving as a Christian Science healer was the best way he could serve others. He left the ranch and took up the full-time work of helping others find healing through prayer. Thirty years later, he still loves this work as much as ever.

Over the years, James has enjoyed being active in many roles in his local Church of Christ, Scientist, and has worked at summer camps for Christian Scientists and their friends. He has also shared the message of Love’s transforming power in prison settings and youth detention centers. When his four children were little, he coached their sports programs. He finds other ways to help his community, such as by volunteering at a neighborhood church to help cook a free breakfast for those in need.

James loves spending time with his family and doing any outdoor activity. But his greatest joy will always be to find, and to help others find, a more tangible sense of God’s love for everyone and how that improves every aspect of our lives.

What Janet loves about Christian Science is the way it answers pressing questions that come to all of us. Questions like: Who am I? Why am I here? How can I find health and happiness? These questions were uppermost in her thought as she entered college. She studied music composition at Washington University in St. Louis. Then, she moved to Chicago, to earn a master’s degree in music. Around that time, she was introduced to Christian Science and began finding the answers to her questions about identity, purpose, and health, which made a huge difference in her life.

For the next several years, she composed and produced original music for theatre productions and film. Later, Janet and her husband, Jim, ran a music production company, producing music for radio, television, and other media.

Throughout this time, Janet continued to apply the spiritual ideas she was learning to every facet of life. Her growing understanding of the way Christian Science explains existence took the mystery out of living and removed much fear. This new light so changed her life that it stirred within her a desire to help others find spiritual answers. Janet left the music business to enter the full-time Christian Science healing practice, and later became a Christian Science teacher.

Janet’s life has been transformed from living in fear for her health and uncertainty about the future to feeling secure in the spiritual basis for health and having a joyous expectation of good. This transformation showed her the life-changing power of God’s goodness and the healing that results from understanding our oneness with God. These ideas have been useful to Janet in her  healing work, and she loves sharing them in her prison ministry, with interfaith groups, and in the public talks she gives on Christian Science.
