- Silent prayer, followed by the Lord's Prayer with its spiritual interpretation, which can be found on pages 16-17 in Science and Health.
- Second hymn
- Announcements about any upcoming church-related activities and events
- Solo
- Explanatory Note
- Golden Text
- Responsive Reading
- Reading of the Bible Lesson-Sermon (this part of the service takes about half an hour)
- Collection
- Third hymn
- Scientific Statement of Being (page 468 of Science and Health)
- Correlative Scripture (I John 3:1-3)
- Benediction
Our Wednesday meeting begins at 6:00 p.m., and like the Sunday service, it lasts about an hour.
- First hymn
- The First Reader reads passages he (or she) has selected from the Bible and from Science and Health on a specific topic of his choosing
- Slient prayer and then the Lord's Prayer
- Second hymn
- Announcements about any upcoming church-related events and activities
- At this point in the meeting, anyone in the congregation may stand and share any experience they've had in relying on prayer to solve a problem. Sometimes people just share an idea that has inspired them - and sometimes they just talk about what they're especially grateful for. But anyone is welcome to enjoy the readings, and then just listen to those sharing remarks and testimonies.
- Third hymn
