The annual Carytown Watermelon Festival draws a huge crowd - over 100,000 people on foot in the shopping district where our church's Reading Room is located. With our doors open - literally - to the festival-goers, we distributed free literature, cold water, and our loving presence in the community. Several people came into the Reading Room to browse, some saying they'd always been curious about Christian Science. We had some lovely conversations, corrected some misimpressions, and re-filled the cold water jug constantly.
Everyone and anyone is welcome to visit the Reading Room at 3431 W. Cary Street, Richmond, Virginia. The Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, as well as other authorized literature and research volumes, are available to be read or purchased. We also sell The Christian Science Monitor.
