We invite you to join us this summer for “growth in grace”! (SH 4)
Grace
One way to think about grace is as a deep sense of God’s unconditional love. Grace is not something we have to earn or deserve. Grace — affording abundant joy, loving-kindness, mercy, and gratitude — is a gift, freely received and freely given!
We invite you to explore the many references to grace:
- 159 references in the Bible
- 73 references in the writings of Mary Baker Eddy
- 93 references in the Christian Science Hymnal
- over 25,000 references in JSH Online
Grace Always Wins
We expect the simplicity of this theme to result in healing for campers, staff, cabins, families, countries, and the world. With many issues facing the world today, there seems to be no viable human solutions, and yet, we have grace — and grace always wins!
