Fourth Church has been planning a fall hymn sing to learn some of the new tunes in the Christian Science Hymnal Supplement and intended to invite all the area CS churches. With all the recent storm events, we were holding off on the announcement about it, but recently found out that two officers from The Mother Church will be joining us!
Clerk Suzanne Riedel and Treasurer Lyon Osborn will be at our hymn sing on October 14th. They want to show solidarity, provide support and encouragement, and send love from the entire Board of Directors.
The hymn sing will start at 10:30 a.m. in our auditorium and last about 1-1/2 hours. Our soloist Lauren Pastorek and pianist Jessica Myers will accompany us — with special performances interspersed as well. Then Fourth Church will provide lunch and fellowship in the Sunday School.
We can’t wait to have our Christian Science friends together on this uplifting day!

First Church of Christ, Scientist, Austin is hosting the Winter 2018 Interactive Bible and Spiritual Life Program on February 9 and 10 with Richard Davenport and Barry Huff.
As in the past, these programs from BSL have proved to be very inspiring and have drawn people from all over Texas and beyond.
Presented by:
- Richard Davenport: Master of Divinity, Doctor of Ministry ABD Chaplain, LtCol, USAF (ret); Former Dean of Students at Principia College; Executive Director, Bible & Spiritual Life Community
- Barry Huff: Ph.D. in Biblical Studies; Religion & Philosophy Department Chair and Assistant Professor of Religion at Principia College; 2013 Principia College Teacher of the Year
This workshop will include deep dives into the Bible and the very best of contemporary scholarship and application of its biblical spirituality to the changes and challenges of our times. These will be reinforced by Spirit-filled songs from the heart that support transformative Bible study in compassionate community.
Saturday morning will examine how the inspired Word functions throughout the Bible as a “sufficient guide” for countering and correcting more narrow, judgmental, and harsh passages, transforming thought and action, healing prejudice, cherishing the “other,” and proclaiming God’s infinite embrace. The implications for how and with whom we practice compassionate community are immense.
Lunch onsite, will include table discussions of questions from the morning session with rotating groups so as to facilitate your own integration of the workshop themes to your own experience. Questions arising will be addressed in the first half hour of the afternoon session.
Saturday afternoon will offer fresh biblical perspectives on creation that inspire our prayers and care for ourselves, our communities, and our environment. These are very helpful to our own demonstration of wellness and our greater effectiveness in joining the societal and generational conversations of today (and tomorrow) on spirituality, ethics, and religion.
