First Church, Pittsburgh is hosting a regional gathering with Glenmont Christian Science Facility Staff and Pamela B. Fitzer, Pennsylvania's Committee on Publication. Sunday, September 10, 2017, at 2:00 PM First Church of Christ, Scientist 201 N. Dithridge at Bayard Street in Oakland.

Glenmont has been awarded First Place in the Ohio Department of Aging's 2014 rating of 963 Ohio Facilities. Lydia Manfreda, Administrator, and Helvi Paasinen, Director of Christian Science Nursing have graciously initiated this event. Ms. Manfreda will explain details involving Medicare, Medicaid, insurance, benevolence and Glenmont's business aspects. Ms. Passinen will discuss the nursing facility and Glenmont's Nursing School.

From Pamela Fitzer, Committee on Publication for PA: As you know, there is a lot in the news about the health care laws being considered. Isn't it comforting to know that Mrs. Eddy has taught us that "health" is in the third degree and that we have perfect and free health care by reflection? (See page 116 of Science and Health)" Third degree: Understanding. Spiritual. Wisdom, purity, spiritual understanding, spiritual power, love, health, holiness." 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#.

The Glenmont presentations and Mrs. Fitzers talk will be 15 - 20 minutes each. Please RSVP to Wren Price, Clerk at: [email protected] or 412-621-5339. It is important to RSVP so that there will be enough Glenmont information packets. Those attending by remote can receive materials by mail.
