Chatting about terror attacks

As people around the world are assessing anew the lessons of Sept. 11 2001, and the progress that’s been made, there is still plenty of room for prayer. Come to the Christian Science Reading Room Tuesday, Sept. 13, at 11 a.m., 721 SW 20th Court, Oak Harbor, and bring questions and concerns to two guests who were in their respective cities, New York and London, when major terrorist attacks took place and who will offer healing, restoring thoughts.
