Truth or Bias

Worship Service: Informal Family - July 24, 2022

The Lord’s Word is full of truth given to us to make our lives, and the world, better. How is it that two people can go to Word and still disagree? How do people take these beautiful teachings and use them to cause harm? We all know how easy it can be to listen and learn with a bias that holds us back from a better understanding. What does the Word teach us about bias, its effects, and how to overcome it?" | By Rev. Richard M. Glenn | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

The Lord heals a boy with a mute spirit

Worship Service: Informal Family - November 22, 2020

The Lord heals a boy with a mute spirit. The Heavenly Doctrine teaches that each character in the Sacred Scripture tells us something about our own spiritual lives. So how then, are we like the disciples or even the Scribes in this story? How can we be like the boy who needs healing? In the story, the Lord gives us a very simple answer to the way we find healing through Him. | By Rev. Justin Schorran | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Service service

Worship Service: Informal Family - August 18, 2019

This Sunday we’ll be having another “service” service. We did this two years ago. The service will not have a preacher or a talk. Instead, the service will be focussed on all of us doing useful things. “Worship of the Lord actually consists in useful behavior” (Secrets of Heaven 7038). We’ll start with some songs and open the Word, and have a short time for prayer and some readings. But we’ll spend most of our time having a “work party.” People can choose between various jobs including: organizing the costume cupboard, making new candle holders for the Christmas midnight service, sharpening pencils, organizing the altar-making materials, organizing props, sorting through the songbooks, cleaning chairs that need it, etc. We’ll close the morning with closing of the Word, and discussion. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

We are all Children

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 31, 2019

When the great king Solomon prayed for wisdom in 1:Kings 3:7 he declared himself "a little child," not knowing how to go out or come in. In fact, we are all little children in the Lord's eyes. We explore what this really means and why our acknowledgement of that fact is so important. - MDG The children's talk is based on selections from Joshua:9 on the treaty with the Gibeonites. | By Rev.
