Responding to Opportunities for Growth
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 03, 2021
The beginning of a new year is a time that encourages people to think of the poast year and reflect on the new year beginning. Most of us would acknowledge that the last nearly ten months have been far from easy for many of us. What would the Lord like us to take away from these experiences? How can they serve the Lord's goals for our lives now and on to eternity? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralMemorial Service for Edward K. Asplundh

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 20, 2020
What would it have been like to be a shepherd watching over his flock at night? The angel appeared to the shepherds in their lonely vigil, which says something about how the Lord sends His angel to us too. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralLoneliness and Community in the Christmas Story
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 20, 2020
At Christmas we normally celebrate by gathering together to rejoice in the Lord's birth. Sadly, that will not be happening this year. We will explore images and instances of loneliness in the Christmas story and reflect on its meaning for our lives, especially this year. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Shepherd's Way
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 13, 2020
"There shall be one shepherd for them all; and they shall walk in My judgments, and keep My statutes and do them." (Ezekiel 37: 24) | By Rev. Philip B. Schnarr | Bryn Athyn CathedralMemorial Service for Robert F. Klein
Memorial Service - December 12, 2020
February 3, 1931 to December 7, 2020. Bob Klein was a volunteer for New Church Audio and its precursor, the Sound Recording Committee, for over fifty years. He was key to the recording, editing and uploading of thousands of recordings on the New Church Audio website. He operated the sound system at Bryn Athyn Cathedral for many years and worked with the recordings from the services to make them available to all. He recorded doctrinal classes, lectures, and other events. He also digitized thousands of reel to reel tapes into mp3s for this website. We thank him and his family for his dedication and service. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Lord Was Born So We Can See and Love Him
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 06, 2020
The teachings for the New Church are clear: We cannot come to love or sense that we are loved unless we see and believe that the Lord is both Human and God. He was born as a tiny infant in Bethlehem as part of this process. Prophecies of old had long promised His coming, | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralWhy it is So Important to Turn to the Lord as both Human and God
Worship Service: Sermon only - December 06, 2020
If the Lord had not been born into this world at the first Christmas, we would be missing a very important recognition of who He is. It is impossible to truly love or feel loved by a God who is just an ill-defined forced, no matter how powerful that force is thought to be. We are invited to worship the Lord as both Human and God. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Glory of the Lord
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 29, 2020
In the Christmas story, we find Simeon prophesying that the Lord will be "the glory of my people Israel." Does this simply mean that Israel will be proud of the Lord or that He will make them great? What does "glory" really mean? The Lord came into the world to "glorify" His human. Is this "glorification" somehow related to "glory"? | By Rev. Stephen D. Cole | Bryn Athyn CathedralA Light for a Revelation to the Gentiles
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 29, 2020
The Lord came to provide a revelation to the gentiles. But who were these gentiles and what was revealed to them? And is this simply a happy thought about something that the Lord did for others, or is there some way in which this can have personal meaning for each of us? | By Rev. Stephen D.

The Lord did many miracles when He was on earth. We don't see those kinds of miracles today, but we do experience them in our lives if we look hard enough. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralMiracles Today

Candidate Justin Schorran. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." The Lord wills to be a part of our house and our lives. What can we do to bring Him in? | By Rev. Justin Schorran | Bryn Athyn CathedralReceiving Good Things from the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 08, 2020
The Lord constantly works to give good things to us beyond measure, but we don't always feel well cared for by Him. Why is this sometimes the case and what can we do to increase our awareness of the blessings He is bringing to our lives? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralWalking on Water
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 01, 2020
Theme: Trusting in the Lord. Peter walked on water to the Lord, an incredible act of trust. We can experience that miracle in our own lives too. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralTrusting in the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 01, 2020
We know we are supposed to trust in the Lord, but at times it certainly is hard to do. We will look at what trust means and how we can go about it better. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralService to Others
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 25, 2020
The final week of our series on Resilience is about focusing on others. Service to others makes us healthy, whole and happy, which is the Lord's goal for us. The purpose of all the challenges for Joseph and his brothers was that the Lord could provide for them and all of Egypt through the work He would do through Joseph. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
