In a talk  titled, “BREAKING NEWS: FREEDOM IS OURS NOW”, Christian Science lecturer Patricia Woodard will offer a Biblically-based perspective of God that reveals the divine goodness, wellness and freedom flowing into our lives everyday, The inspirational talk, sponsored by First Church of Christ, Scientist, Darien, will be held  Sunday, April 29 at 3 p.m. at the Darien Library. Her talk will explore the practicality of Christ Jesus’ life and works as explained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, the textbook of Christian Science written by it’s founder, Mary Baker Eddy. “The spiritual  discovery of this 19th-century woman—who found freedom from chronic illness and other struggles in her own life—shows the provable relevance of Jesus’ ministry in our lives today,.” Woodard said..” What she discovered through this study she called Christian Science—a view of God and the universe that transforms our thoughts, releasing us from fear and pain and causing us to soar.

The Center for Sexual Assault Crisis Counseling and Education recently unveiled a new campaign, “Reveal to Heal,” using photographs to raise awareness of the harm inflicted by sexual violence. Created with photographer Veleska Martin and local artists, the photo campaign also raises the profile of The Center and the services it provides to survivors of sexual assault and abuse. A series of photographs featuring modestly undressed models with messages written on their bodies, “Reveal to Heal” calls attention to the struggles survivors often face in getting people to believe them, and the many discouraging messages they receive when they do disclose assault or abuse. The symbolic disrobing in the photographs reveals the emotional scars of sexual violence that may never leave the survivor; those wounds are literally “written” on the body. The campaign images will be widely distributed throughout Lower Fairfield County.
