| Dear Friends “Hurrah!” A shout from the happy 4th and 8th graders. “We are back at School!” And more classes to follow…. The Management have been very busy these last months streamlining administrative and accounting processes. We have a fantastic new bus and a new deep borehole which provides water for our children, and also for our School farm. We are most grateful to kind donors for these. We are happy to share with you our film of our 2019 Open Day. Enjoy the happy enthusiasm of our Sunrise children! We also attach comments here from some of our students who read parts of the books: “We Knew Mary Baker Eddy.” We are most grateful to our resigning Australian Representatives, Sholto Bowen and Merilyn Hart, for faithfully assisting us tremendously over the years! We now welcome Robin Clarke and Linda Pooler, our new Australian Representatives, to our Sunrise family! We regret that Catalina McIsaac sadly has resigned as our USA Treasurer, explaining that “circumstances have dictated that I step down, but I have great respect for what you are doing for the children in Kenya. Thank you for all you do.” We thank Catalina for everything she has done for Sunrise. We have one of our wonderful board members, Tom Creighton, covering the treasurer position while we look for another person to fill this role. Do you know anyone who would like to work in this very fulfilling position? If so, please reply to this email with your interest. It is not much work as Michelle is handling all the PayPal donations, which is the most usual form of donations from Churches and individuals. The USA Treasurer’s work includes mainly a) the receiving of a few transfers and cheques; b) the handling of the Sunrise of Africa School Charitable Foundation Inc Bank account; c) the few bank transfers to Sunrise in Kenya, and d) the signing of a few annual IRS forms prepared by our Sunrise tax consultant, Ms Debbie Henderson. It is rewarding work to be part of the warm and welcoming world-wide Sunrise family. Our former Treasurer, Lizabeth McKibben, fell in love with our beautiful, joyful and charming Sunrise children! If you would like to donate to this great cause, to help us with our ongoing costs to educate our beautiful children, please do so via our Not-for-Profit 501c3, Sunrise of Africa School Charitable Foundation, or via our Sunrise bank accounts in various parts of the world. All details are on our website here: https://www.sunriseofafrica.com/donate/. We are looking forward to a great year in 2021. Thank you so much. We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving Day! With love and blessings, Corinne, Samuel and Michelle  |

With the example of Christian Science practitioners in her family and the many healings she experienced and witnessed first hand, she knew at an early age that she wanted to devote her life to serving the Cause of Christian Science. She grew up in New York City and Wilton, Conn. After graduating from Principa College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History, she moved to Boston and worked for Longyear Museum where she gained a deep appreciation for the early workers and history of the Christian Science movement. From Boston, she moved to Mount Pleasant, SC where she was first listed in The Christian Science Journal as a practitioner of Christian Science healing in 2011. Over the past several years, in addition to her full-time practice, Chrissie has worked remotely for The Mother Church and the Christian Science Publishing Society. Since 2012 she has worked for the Bible-Lesson Products department in adminstrative and editorial processing of the weekly Christian Science Bible-Lesson Sermon. She currently lives in Alexandria, VA with her husband Andrew Heining. They are both active members of Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, Washington D.C., in Georgetown. We so look forward to “seeing you” on November 20. With love and gratitude,  Marivic Mabanag Executive Director |

| This past summer gave us the opportunity to serve our local community by offering a day camp for the first time.

Dear Friends, We’d like to introduce you to a new ministry at Tenacre Foundation in Princeton, New Jersey called Rose Cottage, Shared Residence. Rose Cottage is open to members of The Mother Church who would like to live independently in a home-style setting with other Christian Scientists. We’ve learned that there are many workers for the Cause who would like to live with like-minded thinkers and workers while continuing their practice of Christian Science. Having received many calls for this type of housing arrangement over the past few years, we are now ready to open our doors to active adults devoted to meaningful living. To the question, “What am I?” Mary Baker Eddy presents this scientific response, “I am able to impart truth, health, and happiness, and this is my rock of salvation and my reason for existing” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 165:18). Residents will enjoy the following benefits: The ability to furnish their own private bedroom and bath Living among and interacting with other Christian Scientists Meals and light housekeeping Gathering at mealtime in the home’s dining room Planned activities such as Bible studies, hymn sings, and lectures Transportation, if desired, for planned shopping, concerts, church services, etc. Freedom to come and go on their own schedule Nature trails, walking, identifying birds, and seeing deer on our 100-acre campus Deepening and furthering their study of the Bible and Mrs. Eddy’s writings through reference materials in our Spiritual Resource Library Continuing to fulfil their God-given purpose of praising God and blessing humanity through their active practice of Christian Science Individuals are invited to apply for admission on Tenacre’s website. Please call or email Jane Hickson if you have questions. We’d love to hear from you. Sincerely, Jane Jane Hickson Resident Manager Rose Cottage, Shared Residence Mobile: 609-917-4122 rosecottage@tenacre.org |
