Title: In-Person lecture: WHAT REALLY MATTERS
By Nicole Virgil
Sat, April 4, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET (Saturday before Easter)
Location: At the church- 1048 E Morehead St., Charlotte, NC
When finding solutions seems difficult, it's often because we are having trouble knowing what matters. But the right kind of vision (hint: it's spiritual) allows us to discern what is actually important. Christian Science reveals what is essential, brings solutions, and enables us to live God-impelled lives that bless our families and communities.
The talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible, especially in Christ Jesus' life and teachings, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free, open to the community, and hosted by
"You have to be able to sort out what matters from what doesn't matter." Virgil adds, "If you've heard the expression, 'garbage in, garbage out,' you know we don't want to start with garbage. Start at the beginning. Start with God. Going in order wakes us up from a distorted view of reality."
Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Virgil will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves.
Sunday Services
Our Sunday morning service includes a sermon, prayer, and the singing of hymns and a solo. We also provide Sunday School instruction for young people up to the age of twenty.
Our sermon focuses on a unique topic and includes readings from our pastor, with citations from the Bible and our denominational textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by the founder of our church Mary Baker Eddy.
Each weekly Bible Lesson sermon is available for study in advance and designed to address personal, global, social, and political issues–and most importantly help congregants discover the blessings of Christian living.
The same sermon is delivered in Christian Science churches around the world, uniting us with our global membership.
Church on Sunday provides fellowship and healing inspiration that enriches lives in countless ways.
