Establishing a Christian Science Reading Room for your community

Advertising your Reading Room
Inform your community about their local Christian Science Reading Room—what a Reading Room is, what goes on there, and what it can do for them. Unlike product flyers, this one just talks about the Reading Room itself, highlighting features and services that make the Christian Science Reading Room in your community every bit as necessary and useful as the local post office or deli. Enlarge it for your window or share flyer-sized copies with customers, church and Sunday School visitors, business neighbors, and at events.

Establishing a Christian Science Reading Room for your community

Christian Science Reading Rooms may only be established and maintained by branches of Christ, Scientist—churches or Christian Science societies; and only those branches and their Reading Rooms that are advertising in The Christian Science Journal may use the name "Christian Science Reading Room."

(Informal groups may not sponsor a Christian Science Reading Room, though they may apply for an account to order products from the Christian Science Publishing Society. Use the contact information provided below to apply for an account number.)

To organize a branch church or form a Christian Science society, please see information posted on The Mother Church website about Starting a Branch and feel free to send questions about starting a branch to tmcbranch@csps.com.)
