Listen live and up to 24 hours afterward

Every Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, join the online congregation of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, MA, USA. 

You'll hear hymns and readings specially compiled for the day, as well as testimonies submitted by listeners. Readings are from the Christian Science pastor, the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. There is an organ prelude and postlude, plus an online church lobby which will be open for 15 minutes after the meeting.

The meeting is conducted by the First Reader, who also selects the readings and hymns. After the readings, attendees share testimonies of healing and other comments about Christian Science, some of which are read by testimony readers. Bios are available.

All of these will remain posted for 24 hours after the meeting ends, until 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday.
