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;

“Sketching and journaling leads to contemplation; contemplation leads to self-discovery and self-discovery leads to the center of your heart” ~ Georgesse Gomez

Serenity: the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled.
Viewpoints Gallery is thrilled to present “Walking Toward Serenity,” a collection of luminous new works by local artist Georgesse Gomez.&nbsp;This new collection reveals Georgesse’s expertise in traditional oil painting, showcasing her exceptional ability to depict a sense of place, emotion, and atmosphere inspired by meaningful moments and locations from her past.&nbsp; 
As long as she can remember, Georgesse has been a contemplative. She loves to study, read&nbsp;and reflect on the world around her. Since her childhood, Georgesse has used prayer,&nbsp;books, drawing, painting and hikes in nature to escape from the rough edges of the&nbsp;world and find her center. She has come to learn that developing a recollected sense of&nbsp;one’s life is a powerful way to remain grounded and true to one’s inner voice. When she set foot in Italy seven years ago, Georgesse rediscovered that inner voice and she&nbsp;has returned to Italy twice since that first trip. Looking back through sketchbooks, notes and&nbsp;photographs from her trips, she discovered that reflecting on her past provided her with a path forward and helped her take the next steps into her future.&nbsp;Georgesse’s latest collection of luminous landscapes demonstrates how revisiting memories and sketches from significant periods of her life can serve as inspiration for innovative new works.&nbsp;Join Georgesse on her journey inward as she steps into the past and walks toward serenity.

More information about Georgesse’s latest collection is available on Viewpoints Gallery&nbsp;website,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.viewpointsgallery.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">http://www.viewpointsgallery.com</a>&nbsp;and on Georgesse’s website at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.georgesse.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">www.georgesse.com</a> as well as her Instagram&nbsp;@georgessegomez.
