SPECIAL TALK: ''The Real You - No Limitations''
In today's world people of all ages are faced with a sense of limitation – whether self-imposed or imposed by society. But is that really who we are? Many people have found a more spiritual sense of identity, the real you, brings freedom from limitations of all kinds – from mental self-image and physical illness, to relationship problems and personal challenges. Tom McElroy, an international speaker and practitioner of Christian Science healing, will conduct a talk, "The Real You – No Limitations" on Friday, May 10, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at First Church of Christ, Scientist, 887 Concord Street, Framingham. Tom, who lives in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, enjoys sharing his first-hand experiences with others to help them gain a sense of their true identity. Tom has spoken at probation facilities, universities, public schools, churches, and for public service groups -- like those serving homeless and at risk youth. For more information or to get a ride, call the Christian Science Reading Room at 508-872-0442.
