What Really Matters, Christian Science Lecture

Saturday November 15, 2025
10:00 AM

Princeton Theological Seminary, MacKay Hall, 43 College Road West, Princeton, NJ

*main parking is at 25 Library Place

The First Church of Christ, Scientist is hosting a lecture which is free and open to the public. All are welcome and no advance registration is necessary. Free parking and childcare are available. When finding solutions seems difficult, it's often because we are having trouble knowing what matters. But the right kind of vision (hint: it's spiritual) allows us to discern what is actually important. Christian Science reveals what is essential, brings solutions, and enables us to live God-impelled lives that bless our families and communities. Please join us for this thought-provoking discussion with Nicole Virgil, C.S. Learn more at www.csprinceton.org

Saturday November 15, 2025

205 West State Street, Trenton. www.statemuseum.nj.gov.

A century of physics has placed a singular moment of the creation of the universe -- the "big bang" -- squarely in the public eye as a fact about our world. How well does this hold up? In the last few decades, better data and better theories have exposed many holes in this story, and a paradigm shift might be in order. Talk by Joshua Shterenberg, Princeton University.
