Greetings! \u00a0It’s been a while since we published anything on CSNorcal.org, but hopefully it will soon start seeing some activity again. \u00a0We’ll\u00a0be exploring\u00a0healing in the Northern California area and also encourage innovation and new thinking and inspiration around the topics of both individual demonstration as well as\u00a0our collective missions.
\nDo you have any inspiring stories, topics, events, activities or talks you’d like to share with the local community? \u00a0Please contact us and let us know so we can share it far and wide.
\nIn the meantime, you can find local activities in\u00a0ChristianScienceCalendar.org.
