Mrs. Fitzer will present how the Committee on Publication is working on both state and federal levels to clear misconceptions of Christian Science. This is an opportunity for us to meet Pennsylvania's new Committee on Publication and to learn how we can support Christian Science healing and the Committee's work.
For those interested and not able to attend there will be internet and telephone options. Skype - FCCS.Pittsburgh Free Conference Call - 712 775-7031 code: 410966#.
