Good Friday 2025
Shortly after Jesus’ crucifixion, two of his disciples left Jerusalem for Emmaus wondering if the mission of Jesus had failed. They thought the Messiah had died on the cross. They were in for a big surprise. Have we fallen into thinking that the glory days of Christian Science are over, and that our ability to practice it is becoming a thing of the past? This Easter we will explore some modern-day parallels in a talk titled “Our Walk to Emmaus” by Brian Webster.
Please join us in person on Good Friday, April 18 at Third Church of Christ, Scientist, 583 Park Ave and 63rd Street in NYC. The talk will begin at 7:30 PM Eastern Time, preceded by inspirational organ music at 7:20 PM.
You are invited to remain after the talk for a Q&A with Brian. If you have a question about church or your own walk to Emmaus, Brian will discuss your question after the talk.
We hope to spend this special time with you in person at 583 Park Avenue, where childcare will be lovingly provided for those too young to join in the festivities.
You can also join us online at thirdchurchnyc.com. We will provide live simultaneous Spanish translation. Watch for Easter updates on our website.
