If you’re interested in sponsoring one of my lectures, please contact me directly at talkwithnate@gmail.com. If you chose to sponsor a lecture, please fill out the official Christian Science Lecture application form here. Filling out that application is a formal agreement that you will sponsor one of my lectures. After the lecture application is submitted, I may start booking my travel soon after which is often non-refundable.
PREP MEETING:
I find prep meetings very helpful for both the lecturer and sponsoring church. Conference calls generally work well. Freeconferencecall.com gives out free conference numbers, if you don’t have one. Skype works well too. Monday, Tuesday or Thursday nights generally fit my schedule, but please send me a potential date when you have one.
IF I CANNOT ATTEND YOUR PREP MEETING, HERE IS A 16-MINUTE VIDEO MESSAGE THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH YOUR MEMBERS:

ADVERTISING MATERIALS:
For those hosting one of my lectures, here are some press materials that you might find helpful. Feel free to use your own creative inspiration—these are just examples. Keep it mind that you want to focus on the MESSAGE, not the messenger. The loving message of genuine healing through prayer will draw in the hungering hearts. Email me if you have any questions or are looking for an unlisted piece of press material. You might also find helpful information on my Christian Science.com bio page.

Below are templates for a flyer, postcard, and poster which can be used for my lecture. They can be customized to feature your lecture venue, dates, etc., for a small fee. If you are interested in this service, please contact Tara Sorab by email at info@taralight.ca or by phone at 416-423-8410.

NEEDS FOR THE LECTURE DAY:
-A microphone. I prefer a wireless lavalier to clip onto my shirt. Second choice is a wireless handheld mic. Third choice is a wireless headset.
-A small table for my books and a small bottle/glass of water.
-A white screen for my projector (Ideally 6’+ wide).
-I will bring my projector, but if a facility has one built-in, it’s best to use theirs. I will bring my laptop and remote.
-If we’re using my projector, an extension cord and power strip is usually needed. Also, an additional small table is often helpful.
SAMPLE INTRODUCTION:
Good morning! And thank you all for joining us today for an inspiring adventure into prayer and healing.
Our speaker, Nate Frederick, is a Christian Science practitioner who lives in beautiful Boothbay, Maine. Nate loves traveling and sharing insignts into the universal power of God, and how this power can bring about good in our individual lives.
As a former media producer, Nate produced the award-winning “Daily Lift” podcast for The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, the headquarters of the Christian Science church. Nate loves music, being out in nature and baking cakes for his friends. But he would say that his greatest passion is to help people through prayer.
Please join me in welcoming Nate Frederick!
(Please do not make the introduction longer than this and do not share any healing examples from my practice unless they’re approved.)
LECTURE FEES:
Please contact me directly for pricing. I offer a second lecture at half price.
