Memorial Service - February 17, 2016
Memorial Service for Caroline Royale Lester written by Rt. Rev. Peter Buss Sr., originally delivered on 13 February in Canada, and delivered by Rev Malcolm Smith at New Church Westville. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAElijah, the Widow, and Love That Never Runs Out
Worship Service: Sermon only - February 14, 2016
This is our annual "Honoring Caregivers" worship service. We consider the miracle that the Lord performed through Elijah ensuring that the widow's small amount of flour and oil never ran out. It is the same with our capacity to love. This is because love is continually flowing from its source, which is the Infinite God of love. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZThe Heavenly Marriage
Worship Service: Sermon only - February 14, 2016
This morning we will be talking about a concept that is so simple, and yet so profound: The Heavenly Marriage. God is Love and Wisdom Itself. Within God these two realities are perfectly united. They are one! This perfect union between love and wisdom that within God Himself is referred to as "The Heavenly Marriage". Today we will explore various aspect of this Heavenly Marriage, including the following: - This Heavenly Marriage between love and wisdom can be found in all things created by God... - As individuals, we should all be working to establish this Heavenly Marriage within our own hearts and minds... This week reflect on the simple and yet profoundly beautiful reality of the Heavenly Marriage between love and wisdom... | By Rev. Matthew L.

Married love is a gift from the Lord for those who approach Him and peruse a chaste love of their married partner. A person in a state of true married love loves their partner's happiness more than their own. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PALiving Gratefully Part 2: The Gift of Freedom
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 14, 2016
From the time that Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden, God has offered us choices. Sometimes it seems like life would be easier if we didn't have to work so hard to choose to do good. Other times we don't feel very free at all. But still, most of recognise that freedom is an incredible gift from God. Why is freedom so important? And how can we experience genuine freedom - freedom from our own selfish impulses and habits? Join us for this second week in our "Living Gratefully" series as we talk about the first gift of Divine Providence: freedom. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSALet Your Light Shine

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven." (Matthew 5:16) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralDisciples for the Lord
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - February 14, 2016
When the Lord began His public ministry He started gathering disciples. He taught them and sent them out to teach others. We can serve the Lord much like the disciples did when we share what we know to be true with others.

Worship Service: Sermon only - February 07, 2016
This week we think about how challenging elements in our own imperfect natures can cause us to feel weak or fragile. The way the Lord deals with this is captured, in part, in the story of His turning out of the temple those who bought and sold, the money changers and those who sold doves. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZSwedenborg Made Simple - Regeneration (Spiritual Growth)

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - February 07, 2016
This Sunday evening we begin our Living Gratefully program. “Living gratefully” - it sounds good but does it feel like something you could do or just like something for really spiritual people? Is it possible to live gratefully in the midst of the mess of a normal person's life? What does that look like? What difference can it make? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAFinding the Book of the Law
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - February 07, 2016
The Israelites did not always know what the Lord wanted them to do. In fact, one time they found a copy of the Word and nobody even knew what was in it. What do we do when we find the Word?

| By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn CathedralCrying Hosanna! or Lord, Save Me From Myself!
Worship Service: Sermon only - January 31, 2016
This message reflects on the Matthew version of the Palm Sunday story. The focus is on the cry, "Hosanna!" This is a word that literally means, "O Save!" The question is: Save from what? The "saving" that we think about here, is saving from the negative voices that want to discourage us. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Phoenix, AZSwedenborg Made Simple - Deeper Meaning of the Bible
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - January 31, 2016
The Bible or Word of the Lord is given to us with layers of meaning folded into the very details of the way it is told. The beauty of power of this telling connects us with heaven and the Lord. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PABeing Content With Our Daily Bread

Worship Service: Informal Family - January 31, 2016
This year, our school theme is Living Gratefully. How do we notice the blessings in or lives and remember to thank the Lord for them? In particular on Founder's Day, we remember and thank the Lord for all the people who have contributed to Kainon School, and all the ways that Kainon School has been a blessing to the world. And we also ask: what is the best way to demonstrate our thankfulness, to not simply say “thank you” but to live gratefully. | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Westville, RSA
