ONE WAY TO SHINE

OK, LET'S ASSUME you're a member of this Church. What's the most important position in the Church of Christ, Scientist? A Christian Science lecturer? Serving on the Board of Directors? Heading up the House and Grounds Committee?

Think about it. A good case could be made that simply being a Mother Church member, and then signing an application for another's membership puts you in the most important and significant, the most essential and "powerful" office our Church has to offer. How so? Because it's you who plays the defining role in providing for the makeup of our future Church membership. That's a unique way to shine.

Mary Baker Eddy's little book, Manual of The Mother Church, establishes important opportunities for a member. Serving as a practitioner of healing. Valuing the Discoverer of Christian Science. Supporting her Church and its publications. Caring for yourself. In fact, read through the Manual and you'll see some wonderful duties—and ways to serve. But don't skip over your role as an "approver" of applications for membership. That's a vital job. It's one we need to fill and value.
