In this series, individuals share how taking Christian Science Primary class instruction has strengthened their spiritual understanding, and brought increasing inspiration and healing to their lives.
Class and a college kid
He went on to explain that class provides an individual with a complete prayer “tool kit” that can be used in any situation, whether you need healing, want to prevent negative thoughts from creeping in, or are looking for guidance in the midst of lack, loss, or confusion. This teacher added that the instruction is valuable at any age, but particularly early in life. I requested an application right then and there, and was accepted into his class that summer.
I worked three jobs for the first part of the summer to afford attending class toward the end of the season, and every early morning waitress shift and closing-time cleanup was worth it! When I arrived at class, I discovered I was among the youngest, but there were others in their teens, as well as several people I befriended who were my parents’ age and older. We were all of a kindred spirit and bonded beautifully. In nearly four decades since that time, hardly a day goes by when I do not feel deep gratitude for the firm foundation of class instruction. It provided me with a deeper understanding of Christian Science and clear direction about how to pray effectively for myself, my loved ones, acquaintances, and people around the world.
