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

"The Wisdom of Matthew’s Nativity" - Rev. Jeffrey O. Smith For anything we do, it is important to have an idea of how to do it before we just jump right in.

The Little Things
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - December 03, 2023
“The Little Things” In Micah’s prophesy, Bethlehem is identified as the birthplace of the Messiah. The emphasis placed on this town is its smallness, its seeming insignificance, and yet out of Bethlehem will “come a Ruler who will shepherd My people Israel” (5:2). This description of the Lord’s birthplace contains deep spiritual significance and foretells a spiritual virtue we all need which, in the eyes of the world, seems insignificant and unremarkable but which, in reality, is “the little thing” that counts the most. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

We Have Come to Worship
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 03, 2023
Worship is not something we think of as difficult. Yet there is a lot more to worship than meets the eye. The deeper meaning of worship shows up in the story of the wise men. These men did not simply worship the Lord from where they were. They got up and traveled to find the Lord and give him unique gifts. Likewise, if we want to truly worship the Lord, we have to seek Him out, and offer Him gifts of love, faith, usefulness. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Prophecy and the Lord's Birth
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - November 26, 2023
Christmas commences with prophecy, as the Old Testament foretells the birth of the Lord. This Sunday, we delve into Isaiah's prophecies, considering his message to the people and the possible significance for his original audience. We also reflect on what these prophecies might have meant to those living just before the Lord's birth—the first Christmas. Exploring their thoughts and emotions allows us to draw parallels with our own experiences. Come and see! | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Glory! Truly Seeing the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - November 26, 2023
The Lord's birth marks the beginning of a process often called "glorification." Essentially, it unveils the genuine identity of the Lord – Human. This revelation echoes through prophetic voices, as seen in Isaiah 9: "For to us, a child is born... And he will be called... Mighty God...." The process of understanding God's true nature unfolds through foreshadowing prophecy, followed by the profound experience of witnessing His infancy. Come and see! | By Rev. Pearse M. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

God Made Flesh
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - November 26, 2023
At Christmas we celebrate the birth of the Lord into our world, as a Divine Human with whom we can have a real, direct relationship. In the Holy Supper, we also celebrate the closeness of the Lord, not just nearby but within us. Both events, the incarnation of the Lord 2000 years ago and partaking of Holy Supper in the present day, speak to the Lord’s tangible presence in our lives. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
