A pair of quotes adorn the walls inside Alameda’s beautiful, bright and airy Christian Science church, at Walnut Street and Central Avenue: “God Is Love” and “Divine love always has met and always will meet every human need” from Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy.
We convey the Alameda experience, both past and present, through an informative, financially viable community newspaper, in print and online.
