In her article, What Christmas Means to Me, Mrs. Eddy wrote, “Christmas to me is the reminder of God’s great gift, -His spiritual idea, man and the universe….” This gift is Christian Science healing; the Comforter promised by Jesus.

As we reflect on this Christmas season, we are grateful for many things. One of those is the services of Christian Science nurses. Midland-at-Home’s benevolent fund is available to support the training of Christian Scientists that would like to nurture a ministry in this healing art. The Christian Science nurse is receptive to the Christ fully equipped with inspiration and expectation of healing when assisting others. The Christian Science nurse enters the sickroom with their thought spiritualized, uplifted, and free from fear or anything that would attempt to limit or thwart this most holy of activities. He or she also has the practical knowledge, wisdom, and skill to care for the patients’ physical needs. In other words, the Christian Science nurse brings the Christ into the sickroom.

We owe a great, deep, and heartfelt debt of gratitude to those fine Christian Science nurses who are devoted to caring for the needs of those relying solely on Christian Science for healing. Midland-at-Home has been able to financially support training for a few nurses here in Indiana the past two years. We would like others interested to contact us for more information.
