Bread from Heaven
Worship Service: Informal Family - September 22, 2024
Every day for over 40 years, the Children of Israel were fed with miraculous manna. But Jesus said that He Himself was the true bread from heaven, more miraculous than manna. How do we receive the bread of life from the Lord? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

A New Name
Worship Service: Informal Family - September 08, 2024
Partially inspired by the baptism which will be happening today, we will be talking about being given a new name by the Lord. It’s useful to reflect on the ways that we think about ourselves - the names and labels that we take on. What name would the Lord like to give you and how can you work with Him to become the person He created you to be? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

The Lord Always Blesses Us
Worship Service: Informal Family - September 01, 2024
When we learn the Lord invites us to do good work which will bring a blessing, like the laborers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), we learn gratitude is a gift from the Lord. "In a spiritual religion the main focus is charity, in which the Lord is present, by means of which he binds himself to humanity, and through which he alone accomplishes everything good." (SH 1069) | By Rev. J. Clark Jr. Echols | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

Encouragement
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 25, 2024
One of the values of gathering for worship is to invite the Lord’s encouragement in a group setting. In spiritual community, we can be encouraged by the Lord and encourage each other. During this coming week, in preparation for the service, practice being an encourager. Notice any successes and challenges. | By Rev. Nathan D. Gladish | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

You Are Holy
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 18, 2024
It's a simple statement, and might seem strange for some, but obvious for others. Throughout the Word, we see the Lord connecting with people about holiness, telling them they are on holy ground, or in the presence of holiness, or will receive the Holy Spirit. So what is holiness, and how are you holy? | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
Worship Service: Informal Family - July 28, 2024
Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, the Lord teaches us to love others who are different from us. But how are we supposed to love them, and how are we supposed to love ourselves? | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

Bitter Realizations, Sweet Resolutions
Worship Service: Informal Family - July 21, 2024
Our lives can build up quite quickly with “shoulds” – “I should be more patient with ______.” “I should apologize for ______.” “I should reach out to _____.” These “shoulds” stack up whenever we give our old self, our ego, free reign. We have our reasons – we’ve had a long day, we tried before, we’re super busy, etc. – but what we often don’t realize is that the truth we know we should act on will remain bitter and unpleasant until we follow the Lord’s advice and, like Moses, throw “wood” into the situation. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

Peace! Be Still!
Worship Service: Informal Family - July 14, 2024
When the disciples feared for their lives during a storm at sea, they felt like the Lord did not care about them - He was sleeping instead of helping them! But He calmed the storm, and they were safe. How can we allow the Lord to calm the storms in our lives? | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

A Higher Law
Worship Service: Informal Family - July 07, 2024
The law said that someone who prayed to anyone other than the king would be thrown into the lions’ den. But Daniel followed a higher law. America was founded in part on a belief that the laws of justice transcend temporary edicts of a king. How do we love our country while looking first to the Lord’s higher law? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

The Cherubim around the Throne
Worship Service: Informal Family - June 09, 2024
In Revelation 1 John sees the Lord with seven lampstands on the Isle of Patmos. In chapter 4 he enters heaven and sees Him on a throne surrounded by many more things, including four cherubim in the forms of a lion, a calf, a man and an eagle. The roles that these cherubim play in the ongoing story in Revelation are the same roles that they play in the lives of every one of us. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

The Seven Churches
Worship Service: Informal Family - June 02, 2024

Remembering the Lord and Others
Worship Service: Informal Family - May 26, 2024
As we look toward Memorial Day, we consider the important part memory plays in feeling gratitude. How and what we remember is directly tied to our affections, what we love and what we choose. The Lord invites us to remember the blessing He offers us, if we choose. How? Come and see! | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

Mothering Moses
Worship Service: Informal Family - May 12, 2024

True Humility
Worship Service: Informal Family - February 04, 2024
Jesus told a parable about two people who were praying (Luke 18). One gave thanks that he was better than other people; the other would not even raise his eyes to heaven, but simply asked for mercy. How can we recognize our immense need for mercy and forgiveness without giving in to despair? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

Struggling
Worship Service: Informal Family - January 28, 2024
The mysterious incident of Jacob “wrestling” with God all night speaks to an important principle – as much as we may try to avoid spiritual pain and suffering, these struggles are nevertheless the mechanism which enables us to grow and mature. Jacob’s new name carries the idea of being tied up with God’s purposes. How do we become more “tied up” with God’s purposes? | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft

Feeding the Five Thousand
Worship Service: Informal Family - January 14, 2024
With just five loaves of bread and two fishes the Lord fed 5000 very hungry people till they were all full, with 12 baskets of food left over.

The Lord's Presence in Times of Transition
Worship Service: Informal Family - January 07, 2024
The story of Jacob’s dream seemed like a good story to focus on for our first Informal Family Service in the Cathedral Undercroft. At that point in the story, Jacob is in a time of transition, in an unfamiliar place, and yet — even there — the Lord was in that place. Can we learn to become aware of the Lord’s presence, even in times of transition and uncertainty? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft
