Title: THE SCIENCE OF GOD AND ITS POWER TO HEAL US
By Nikki O'Hagan
Tue, April 14, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET
Location: Darien, CT - Location To Be Announced
The churches of Darien and New Canaan are hosting a lecture by Nikki O'Hagan on Tuesday April 21.
Misconceptions about ourselves and the world we live in are often corrected by advances in science which bring paradigm shifts to our ways of thinking and understanding existence - like discovering that the earth revolves around the sun, rather than the other way around.
The current matter-based scientific model leaves many questions unanswered and has some thinkers and scientists questioning if it is still the right model. It is interesting to consider if the time has now come for another major paradigm shift in science - a shift that would include God as the center and circumference of all existence. This paradigm shift in thought begins with the questions - how does science relate to God and is there a science that explains God?
Nikki will address these questions and show how the Science of God explains Jesus' healings, and teachings, makes God knowable and understandable, and provides humanity with a safe and reliable means for caring for ourselves and each other.
Nikki will also share some of her own experiences of the transforming, healing power of God gained through understanding this Science of God, or Christian Science. She will explain how this healing happens, and what role consciousness plays in the process.
Sunday Services
We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings as we sing hymns, pray and hear the weekly Lesson-Sermon read from the King James Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Together these two books are the Pastor for Christian Science churches worldwide, speaking in a way that reaches every age and culture. These services are conducted by a First and Second Reader elected by the membership.
In each weekly Lesson, Bible passages are amplified and explained through correlative passages from Science and Health. The Lesson, outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly, is studied during the preceding week by Christian Scientists throughout the world. Please feel free to join in this search for a deeper understanding of God and His creation.

Everyone up to the age of 20 is welcome here! Sunday School, held year-round, is a happy environment where each child learns of God’s love for them.
