What is a Christian Science Reading Room?
Everyone is welcome at the Christian Science Reading Room. It is an oasis for the community, a peaceful place to take a break from a busy day and be spiritually refreshed. The front area is a bookstore where you can browse and purchase Bibles, biblical commentaries, Christian Science resources, as well as writings of the founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, including her primary work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures which was named in the “Top 75 Books By Women Whose Words Have Changed the World.” The award-winning Christian Science Monitor is also available. There is a children’s corner where kids can color, read children’s books, or play with a handcrafted wooden Noah’s Ark. A librarian is on hand to answer any questions.
The study area is a quiet place to read, pray, and explore spiritual answers to life’s many questions. The current weekly Christian Science Bible Lesson is available to read. There are computer desks for individual spiritual study with access to over 100 years of recorded healings and inspiring articles from the Christian Science Journal and Christian Science Sentinel magazines.
We are located at 14386 Manchester Road, Manchester, MO 63011 (just west of Route 141). Call 636-527-3610 for more info.
