This is God’s day

Being a Christian is a 24/7 activity.

Judith Hardy Olson

A young woman I once met had just attended her first Sunday worship service. It was in a Christian Science church. When asked what she got from the service, she paused, then answered, “I learned there’s a whole lot more to being a Christian than sitting in a pew on Sunday and trying to be a good person.”

Wow! She got a lot from that one hour, I thought. While I probably felt something similar my first time attending a Christian Science church service, she verbalized her experience so well. I don’t know exactly what that “whole lot more” meant to her at the time, but it was enough to begin her sincere and serious study of Christian Science.
