The 2014 Overlook House Annual Meeting featured a keynote address by Lesley Pitts, former Executive Manager and President of The Mary Baker Eddy Library. The talk was entitled “Christian Science Nursing- a natural activity for us all”.
This meeting, held at LockKeepers Restaurant in Valley View, OH, on November 8th, during this national month of thanksgiving, brought together an enthusiastic group of supporters representing 10 Northern Ohio churches.
The Board Report’s theme of history as inspiration for the present and future of Overlook House and the Upward Wing Visiting Christian Science Nursing Service was presented through a question and answer format engaging with the audience. We learned about Christian Science nursing through the keynote speaker’s historical talk focusing on Christian Science nursing’s spiritual foundations. Board President, Jon Ferrell, remarked that the venue’s warm and lovely atmosphere and luncheon were an expression of Soul. Reminding us of those chilly, but faith-filled days in November 1947 when The Northern Ohio Trustees gathered to incorporate Overlook House.
Thank you all for a successful meeting!

I loved hearing about how well the Upward Wing [Christian Science] nursing service is being run and with what thoughtfulness and eagerness to do what is best for those needing [Christian Science] nursing care and for the CS movement.
You are all an inspiration with your selflessness and grace.
