Christian Scientists love the Bible! So our Reading Room sells Bibles (in several languages) and Bible study aids. We also sell Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy’s book that helps us understand the spiritual power of the Bible. Her other writings are also of interest to spiritual seekers, and we stock them, too. We have all the publications of the Christian Science Publishing Society, including church magazines and The Christian Science Monitor, an award-winning international newspaper. We have biographies of Mary Baker Eddy, books on church history, and CDs of inspiring music. All these items are available to buy, borrow, or read in our study room. Many are also available online. Our Reading Room is in downtown Edmonds half a block south of the Edmonds fountain on 5th Avenue. Free parking is available in the lot behind the building. Everyone is welcome here, so please drop in! 
Jesus's Sermon on the Mount Readings
All are invited to attend Tuesday evening group readings of Christ Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, Matt. 5-7. These will take place on Zoom during the first three weeks of each month on Tuesdays, 7:30-8:15 pm. The Zoom access is the same as for our church services—please contact the clerk at [email protected] for more information.
Mary Baker Eddy commented in her Message to The Mother Church for 1901, To my sense the Sermon on the Mount, read each Sunday without comment and obeyed throughout the week, would be enough for Christian practice. If you would like to develop your Christian practice, please bring your Bible and join us! Please feel free to invite your friends, too. You may choose to read a section of the Sermon aloud or just listen. |
Upcoming Special Events at our Reading Room
The Christian Science Reading Room in downtown Edmonds hosts a program most Fridays at 12:30 PM exploring a topic of interest using the wealth of audio, print, and online resources available in Reading Rooms. From the oldest issues of The Christian Science Journal to the newest podcasts, from Concord to JSH-Online to The Mary Baker Eddy Library website, from Bible references to lectures to biographies of Mary Baker Eddy to lesser known books, we dive with enthusiasm into all kinds of materials in search of inspiration, new skills, deeper understanding, and lots of surprises.
