Dear friends,
The Blog “www.csbibleinsights” is not sponsored by Peace Haven Nursing facility. I do the blog on my own time to share some of my ideas and research about the lesson with the field.
However, the conference calls are supported by Peace Haven as a gift to the wider Christian Science Community. Join me on a phone conference call during this week to go more deeply into the lesson on “SOUL”. if you would like to know more about the conference calls, contact me at kathy@peacehavenassociation.org or 618 980 2207.
