Among the Churches

Current Notes

RICHMOND, STEGE, CAL.—Second Church of Christ, Scientist, held dedicatory exercises in their church edifice on Bay Avenue, Stege, Sunday, Nov. 21, 1915. In July, 1912, the members of this organization secured their building lot. They erected, furnished, and occupied their church in ten days, and have been holding regular Christian Science services in it ever since it was constructed,—a period of over three years.

Wednesday evening, Oct. 2, 1910, fourteen residents of Stege and two invited guests from Berkeley, all of whom were interested in Christian Science, gathered at a private home. They decided to begin services and continue them for six months. The following Sunday the first service, with a congregation of twenty-seven, was held in a small room in a building on Bay Avenue, Stege. In one month the accommodations were outgrown, and it was found necessary to move into larger quarters at the same location. When the six months had expired, a Christian Science Society was organized, with twenty-four members enrolled. The society in June, 1912, was merged into Second Church of Christ, Scientist, Richmond, Stege, Cal., with thirty-one charter members.
