The
main focus of the Sunday service is a Lesson-Sermon taken from
The Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
These two books were ordained to be the dual and impersonal
pastor
of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Together they preach a sermon
each week that is "...undivorced from truth, uncontaminated
and unfettered by human hypotheses, and divinely authorised."
The
Bible Lesson-Sermons are published in the Christian Science
Quarterly Bible Lessons and designed to be studied in advance.
They are available in several different
formats. The Lesson-Sermon may also be studied at the church's
Reading Room.
Services
are conducted by two lay readers elected from the church membership.
The
Sunday service also includes hymns, prayer, scriptural readings,
and a solo.
Sunday
School for young people up to the age of twenty is held
at the same time as the service. Child care for children too
young for Sunday School is available.
