So many people are looking for positive change in their lives. How much we desire to see this for people who are particularly vulnerable, including the large unhoused population in the Bay Area.

Janet Hegarty, a Christian Science practitioner and teacher will share a powerful spiritual approach to this need in a talk titled, “How to make change for the better” – to be given on January 25 at 2:00 pm at:
