Worship Service: Sermon only - May 29, 2016
In this message we consider how complex we all are, especially when we think about our spiritual natures. Only the Lord knows everything about every part of us. If we allow Him to shed some of His light on the details of our life, and the details of the lives of those around us, we can work more fully with Him as He gently prepares us for heaven. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Sermon only - May 15, 2016
The teachings of the New Church outline 4 steps of repentance. This Sunday we're digging into the 3rd step: praying to the Lord.

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - May 15, 2016
Part of maturing with children is realizing that sometimes a choice has to be made. This reality shows up in an old proverb, "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Not only do we have to make choices, but another part of maturing involves seeing the relationship between choices and the consequences they bring. The Lord wants us to recognize the spiritual consequences of our choices. Copyrighted music not included. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralYadah Heinrichs Alden Memorial Address

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 08, 2016
(By Coleman Glenn read by Malcolm Smith)The teachings of the New Church outline 4 steps of repentance. This Sunday we're digging into the 2nd step--a step that is easy to overlook but essential to real repentance: recognising and acknowledging our sin. Sin is a scary word but learning how to recognise and acknowledge it in ourselves in a healthy way is a key step in moving beyond it. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAHonoring Mothers
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 08, 2016
The Lord teaches us to honor our mothers. Honor means to add weight to. The opposite would be to detract from. We should honor our mothers, but we should also honor our spiritual mother in the church. Video testimonial available at https://vimeo.com/165714114 | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA
