Hello Church Family!
 Good morning from Los Angeles! It's a beautiful day today - praise God! 

I wanted to invite you all to our Friday Night Prayer Watch beginning at 7PM(PST) tonight. You can call-in at (712) 432-1212. The meeting id is: 979-828-671.

Our prayer team has been focusing on contagious disease, specifically Ebola, for the last week in our prayers and now it's time for us to come together and knock this OUT of human consciousness! 

Below are the questions from our facilitator who will be doing the readings tonight, also. 

We hope that you can join us tonight! 

And - ps - here is our video mix for this week. It poses from interesting questions as well - feel free to weigh in through the youtube channel. 


Many blessings!

PS - The Christian Science Monitor will have a talk tomorrow at the Boston Book Festival 1:30PM Eastern Time. Let's make sure to support that in prayer, too! 

Ebola Prayer Watch Questions

1.     How might Mrs. Eddy’s article called “Contagion” from pg 228-229 of Miscellaneous Writings support our prayers for the world at this time? Have you or any of your loved ones ever experienced any healings of contagious disease? (Here is a link from Connie Coddington’s interview with Mark Swinney, CSB that includes a testimony of being prevented from catching Asian flu after coming into contact with several individuals who had contracted it) 

2.     The Oct 9, 2014 Christian Science Monitor article called “Ebola: Are US airport screenings more about controlling fearthan disease?” that is featured on the Time4Thinkers Prayer Watch shows very conclusively how fear is having an impact with the Ebola outbreak. How can we be sure that we remain fearless in the midst of the claim of contagious disease and support the general public in overcoming fear, as well? 

3.     In biblical times, leprosy was considered to be a contagious disease that many people feared. In fact, Leviticus 13 and 14 gives very specific instructions about how leprosy was supposed to be handled, including a diagnosis by a priest and “being shut out from the camp” at least seven days being if an individual was determined to be “unclean.” Individuals diagnosed with Ebola are being quarantined since it is believed to spread through contacts with bodily fluids. What can we do to support people who have been made to separate themselves from society because of contagion? Can we ever truly be cut off from help?

5.     There are many records of leprosy being healed such as Moses, Miriam, Naaman and the 10 lepers. Part of Jesus’ instructions in Matthew 10:8 is to “cleanse the lepers.” What does this mean? Are we taking Jesus’ four commands seriously as Christian Scientists and, if so, how are we doing this? What does cleansing looking like and what might need to be “cleansed” in our thought?

4.     Many doctors and nurses from around the world have traveled over to African countries to help with the outbreak. What ideas from the Bible and Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures can we use to pray for these selfless individuals?

6.     After the wonderful news that Nigeria is now Ebola free and a recent that the first case was diagnosed in New York, how can we be sure that we continue praying about this world issue and be persistent in our prayers?
