Real Immunity: How this is Possible Right Now
2021-04-15 12:00 | MI, United States
In today’s heightened concerns about our health security, Michelle Nanouche, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, will present a live online talk, “Finding your immunity from disease,” on April 15, noon-1 pm ET, which will be available for replay online through July 15.
The talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Bible, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience. The talk is free, open to the community, and sponsored by First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Glen Arbor.
“This talk shares a reassuring message: the prayer that reduces fear brings out one’s natural immunity to disease and heals the symptoms of disease,” says Nanouche.
Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Nanouche will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy.
For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.
Michelle Nanouche has been a practitioner of Christian Science healing for many years, helping people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer. Based in Paris, France, she speaks to audiences around the world as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

In today’s heightened concerns about our health security, Michelle Nanouche, practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, recently presented a live online talk, “Finding your immunity from disease,” which will be replayed through July 15, http://bit.ly/FindImmunity15April
The talk focuses on universal healing precepts found in the Bible, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is sponsored by First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Glen Arbor.
“This talk shares a reassuring message: the prayer that reduces fear brings out one’s natural immunity to disease and heals the symptoms of disease,” says Nanouche.

Nanouche also touches on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, a mid-nineteenth century woman from New England, who came to understand, confirm, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand, “He that believes on me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go unto my Father” (John 14:12).
For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.

Rescuing Food In Northern Michigan
2021-06-05 11:00 - 12:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
Taylor Moore, program manager of Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan, is in conversation about how this Traverse City organization feeds people and supplies food pantries with fresh, healthy food. This outdoor program is offered as part of the GAAC’s exhibition Food Is Art / Art Is Food, in the GAAC gallery through August 19.
Since 2008, Food Rescue has collected soon-to-expire, fresh, healthy food from groceries, restaurants, and food processors. With a network of volunteers, it distributes this reclaimed harvest, and distributes it to the Northwest Food Coalition’s 70-plus food pantries and community meal sites. Food is delivered the same day it’s picked up, and provided at no cost to its distribution partners. Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan is a project of Goodwill Northern Michigan.
For more information about this free program or the Food Is Art/ Art Is Food exhibition, call 231/334-6112.
