Christian
Science Society, Gulfport, Mississippi
Hurricane
Katrina destroyed the building used by the Christian Science
Society in Gulfport, Mississippi. Located near the coastline
of the Gulf of Mexico, this area received some of the most
devastating damage from the storm surge itself.
Following
the hurricane, the members of the Society who were still
in the area, began to conduct services from private homes.
This continues even today as the members look for property
to build their new church and Reading Room. The Society
has received help from Christian Scientists and CS churches
across the country, including the receipt of the entire
contents of a California branch church Reading Room which
was closing. The Society even had some pews in storage which
were not damaged in the storm — which are now ready
for a new church home. The Christian Science Society in
Gulfport reports no special needs at this time.
The
Society holds Sunday church services at 10:30 a.m. Please
call 228-832-2398 or 228-860-8723 for the current location
of church services.
