Inspirational program on ‘the science of God’ to be held at Naperville library

Nikki O’Hagan, a practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, will present a free program at Naperville Nichols Library on Sunday, May 18, titled “The Science of God and Its Power to Transform and Heal Us.” The event, hosted by the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Naperville, will explore the intersection of faith and understanding through the lens of Christian Science.

The talk will focus on universal healing principles found in the Holy Bible, particularly in the life and teachings of Christ Jesus. O’Hagan will explain how these principles are accessible to all who seek to understand and experience them through the framework of Christian Science. The program is open to the public and will take place in the Community Room at 200 W. Jefferson Avenue.

O’Hagan’s personal journey into Christian Science began after she experienced a seemingly miraculous healing. This experience led her to question whether such healings could be explained by a deeper science. She will share examples from her own life and professional practice to illustrate how Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, offering a method for individuals to verify its effectiveness through prayer and study.

The presentation will also highlight the life and work of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science movement. Eddy described her teachings as a continuation of original Christian healing, inspired by Jesus’ words in John 14:12. This verse emphasizes the potential for believers to perform even greater works through faith in Christ.

For over 150 years, followers of Christian Science have practiced a form of Christianity that emphasizes spiritual healing and the understanding of God’s laws. O’Hagan, who has been a practitioner for many years, continues to help others through this approach, traveling internationally as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

O’Hagan’s talk will encourage participants to consider how faith and understanding can coexist, offering a path to healing and transformation. The event reflects the ongoing mission of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, to share its teachings and practices with the broader community.
