The Campership Fund identifies, encourages, and financially assist individuals to attend the camp for Christian Scientists of their choice.

We strongly feel that finances should never prevent a child from being able to attend one of these camps.

Because we recognize that each camp is special and that each camper/family situation is unique, we support the individual camper rather than any particular camp. Parents/campers apply for assistance, explaining their family’s need. Our Board meets to prayerfully consider each application to help meet the needs of each family, so their children are able to attend camp.

Glad tidings of good things are coming your way in a live web talk A New View of God and its Effect on Well-being Phillip Hockley, CS, will give the talk Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2:00 pm (CST). Divine Love erases suffering from our lives as naturally as sunrise banishes night. Phillip says: “When most people think about life-changing moments, they may not think of a lecture on Christian Science. That wasn’t why I attended a lecture for the first time; I didn’t expect to walk out a new person. But I found something in that lecture that was indeed life-transforming.” Your church members and friends are lovingly invited to this live talk hosted by the Christian Science churches in Glen Ellyn, Hinsdale and Elmhurst, Illinois. Please feel free to forward this email on to others. You can watch a brief introductory video and register for the talk by clicking the button below. Video Preview Please let your members know!

Our mission is to heal through practical, operative Christian Science December 2020 Click Here For A Print-Friendly Version Christmas: The Gift of Love In What Christmas Means To Me—And Other Christmas Messages, Mary Baker Eddy lovingly wrote: The last appearing of Truth will be a wholly spiritual idea of God and of man, without the fetters of the flesh, or corporeality. This infinite idea of infinity will be, is, as eternal as its divine Principle. The daystar of this appearing is the light of Christian Science—the Science which rends the veil of the flesh from top to bottom. The light of this revelation leaves nothing that is material; neither darkness, doubt, disease, nor death. The material corporeality disappears; and individual spirituality, perfect and eternal, appears—never to disappear (p. 21). What a precious gift this Science of the incorporeal Christ is for each of us—and for the world! At Christmas, we feel special reverence for Christ Jesus and our hearts embrace all mankind in generous love. Our affection during this holiday hints at God’s ceaseless — season-less! — love for all of His children. Speaking of year-round love, we at HVCSNS are aware that God’s solicitude is constantly evidenced in the tender care with which Christian Science nurses minister to their charges. We need no further proof of their gentle love than the following paean of praise written by an appreciative Houston-area family to our Journal-listed Christian Science nurse, Susie Petersen. Though lightly edited, the words are authentic: To whom it may concern, Our family wants to express our gratitude to the Houston Visiting Christian Science Nurses. We would especially like to highlight the outstanding work of and the blessings we have received from Susie Petersen. We have a family member who has been receiving the assistance of Christian Science nursing since December 2018, so we have had experience with many different caregivers over the past two years. Susie stands out as truly exceptional amongst all the caregivers. Her skills are deep and diverse. They include helping a difficult patient prepare for a three-hour journey, aiding in showering and personal grooming, and styling her hair beautifully. Although the practical needs vary, Susie’s approach never varies. Whatever she does is done with love, care, and patience. What I most value in Susie is her understanding and practice of Christian Science. On many occasions I have spoken with Susie about practical nursing advice. During these discussions, I am grateful to come to know Susie’s clear understanding of man as God’s expression. It is such a help to me that Susie sees my family member correctly; namely, she doesn’t see a mortal patient, but God’s spiritual idea. When I think of Susie’s nursing, I’m reminded of Mary Baker Eddy’s statement about Christ Jesus in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, where she writes: “The divine nature was best expressed in Christ Jesus, who threw upon mortals the truer reflection of God and lifted their lives higher than their poor thought-models would allow, — thoughts which presented man as fallen, sick, sinning, and dying” (259:6). Susie has — on every occasion — exhibited the above sentence in her practical nursing. She lifts her patient’s thought because she always comes prepared for a case with the highest standards of what it means to be a Christian Science nurse. Sincerely, A grateful family* *The family has given permission for us to publish their letter without a signature.
