Hymn 66
Scriptural Selection
I John 1: 1-5
Silent Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer with its spiritual interpretation
Our Father which art in heaven,
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Adorable One.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Enable us to know, — as in heaven, so on earth, — God is omnipotent, supreme.
Give us this day our daily bread;
Give us grace for to-day; feed the famished affections;
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And Love is reflected in love;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivereth us from sin, disease, and death.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All.
From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 16-17

HE SENT HIS WORD AND HEALED THEM
Don Humphries, music
Psalm 107, words
O, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good.
For His mercy endureth, endureth forever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
and gathered them out of the lands,
from the East and from the West,
from the North and from the South
He gathered them out of the lands,
they wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way.
Hungry and thirsty, their souls fainted within them.
They cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
and He delivered them from their distresses.
He sent His word and healed them,
He sent His word and healed them,
He sent His word and healed them,
and delivered them from their destructions.
They cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
and He saved them from their distresses;
He brought them out of the darkness,
and the shadow of death.
O that men would praise the Lord,
O that men would praise the Lord,
for His goodness and wonderful works
to the children of men.
He sent His word and healed them,
He sent His word and healed them,
He sent His word and healed them,
and delivered them from their distresses.

Acts 17:24, 25, 28 (to ;), Psalms 23:1–6
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
For in him we live, and move, and have our being;
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Hymn 64
The scientific statement of being and its correlative scripture
There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 468:9-15)
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
(I John 3:1–3)
