Never Alone: how spiritual ideas work in us
The Charlevoix Library hosted a Christian Science Lecture July 24, 2017 by Melanie Wahlberg, CSB* sponsored by the Petoskey Church. It was called “Never Alone: how spiritual ideas work in us.” She explains…
“Two influences on me that I’ll never forget were the Christian Science Sunday School and a mom who turned to prayer and encouraged me to do the same. These influences showed me something of the reliability of God and spiritual inspiration, and trusting this helped me find my way growing up. Significant healing experiences with relationship and food issues, and violence in the community, were also unforgettable. From this, I got an idea of the many ways that Christian Science can transform lives.
After finishing a doctorate in mathematics, I became a college professor and truly enjoyed teaching. I found that teaching was less about telling students something than facilitating the students’ discoveries of new concepts. There was nothing better than witnessing a reluctant student realize that a previously mystifying concept was actually within reach to anyone.
But the higher promise of Christian Science beckoned me to help people redeem and uplift their lives in a fuller way. When students came to my office for help with calculus, we often found ourselves talking about the joy and excitement of growing spirituality. After just two years at the college, I resigned from my position and began accepting calls as a Christian Science practitioner. I wrote articles for the Christian Science periodicals, was a frequent guest on Sentinel radio, and began advertising my practice in The Christian Science Journal in 2004. My husband and I also started a family.
These days I love working from my home office in the Los Angeles area. I like to see lives transformed by the healing ideas of Christian Science, where we ourselves are helped and, at the same time, find we can help others. My life as a mom has a lot of the same focus. And whether the spiritual ideas apply to health issues, school, social lives, or sports, my three teenagers push me to “keep it real.”

The Fruit of the Spirit
It’s harvest time here in Charlevoix. The fruit is on the vine, so to speak. This abundance reminds us another sort of fruit depicted by Paul’s words to the Galatians (5:22-23):
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,”
King James Version (KJV)
On vacation?
Are you here on vacation? We’d love to help connect with you and if you have any questions, about Christian Science…or maybe Charlevoix in general, please feel free to ask us. Our services are loving and very informal. Come as you are. If you are camping at Fisherman’s Island State Park or one of the RV sites nearby, don’t dress on our accounts. It’s your smile we want to see ~
