First Church of Christ, Scientist, Sunnyvale

These days, life can feel like it has been turned upside-down. What was relied upon as normal and safe no longer stands on solid ground. Some might even wonder if there is really a reason to hope in these stressful times. But there is.
A free talk and discussion, “A Spiritual Revolution: The Quest to Experience God,” by Christian Science practitioner and international speaker Giulia Nesi Tetreau, explores the ongoing search for a spiritual perspective on living that can lead to an expectation of good and a better life experience. It’s ultimately about a search for the nature of an all-good God, and the practical and inspired effect of God’s nature in life.
1:30 PM Live Music 2:00 PM&nbsp;Talk by Giulia Nesi Tetreau, CSB
Remote listening with live audio (no video) will be available&nbsp;at&nbsp; ChristianScienceSunnyvale.org on the day of the lecture.
Childcare is available.
Giulia Nesi Tetreau, CSB is a Christian Science practitioner and teacher. She is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. For more information about Giulia and this talk, visit cspaloalto.org.
We hope you can come and bring a friend!
This event is a gift to the community from the members of the Churches of Christ, Scientist, in Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, and Los Altos.&nbsp;
