Mark McCurties, a practitioner of Christian Science healing, will present a talk, How God’s Love Can Change Your Life and the World, at 2 p.m., October 23, at the First Church of Christ Scientist, in Naples. The ideas in this lecture are based on the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible and in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.

“I will explain how God’s loving and saving power is the greatest agent for change, and that through a right understanding of God, His power can be seen and felt right here and now, bringing health and peace to the world,” says McCurties.

After graduating from college, McCurties, based in Boston, worked as a camp director, experiential educator, resident counselor and athletics coach. While being with young people, he had many opportunities to witness the healing power of God, and these inspiring experiences led him into the full-time practice of Christian Science and membership in the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
