Attend a lecture in Southbury Saturday, May 26 at 1PM
Attend a lecture in Southbury on May 26 by Mark Swinney which is titled: "Eternal Life: Could it be that God didn't intend for you to age?"
The location of the lecture is to be announced.
"Claiming one's identity as God's offspring brings countless freedoms," says Swinney. "As God's spiritual creations, we don't necessarily need to be slaves to time. We don't need to wait to become fully who we are. Time doesn't have the power to erode who we are, dilute our intelligence, or sap our strength."
Swinney's ideas 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.
A practitioner and teacher of Christian Science healing, Mark Swinney, has devoted more than twenty-five years both to praying with people and empowering people to pray effectively for themselves. A prolific author with more than 250 published articles addressing numerous facets of prayer and healing, Mark's love for God shines very brightly. He has traveled much of the world speaking about his heartfelt love for God and Christian healing, and is known for his honesty, humor, and candid style.
