God’s Life-Changing Love Topic Of Message

Mark McCurties, a practitioner of Christian Science healing, will present a talk titled, "How God's love can change  your life and  the world" at 2 p.m. Saturday at First Church of Christ, Scientist, Warsaw.

"We all have a natural desire to improve ourselves and the world around us,” McCurties said. “In my own life I've found that letting God, divine love, guide and direct my efforts brings permanent and meaningful results."

The ideas in this lecture are based on the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible, and as discussed in “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy.

McCurties spent a number of years in the field of education, where he worked as a camp director, experiential educator, resident counselor and athletics coach. While working with young people, he said, he had many opportunities to witness the healing power of God, and these experiences eventually led him into the full-time public practice of Christian Science.

McCurties is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. He travels from his home in Ann Arbor, Mich.

The church is at 1011 Mariners Drive, Warsaw.
