Facing Floods
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 28, 2022
This week we are going to talk about being in the middle of the flood, coping with the challenges as we experience them. In the midst of struggle we suffer from doubt but the Lord’s promise is that He has prepared you and that He will bring you through alive, to find a new beginning. There is no challenge that you cannot overcome. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Divine Garments
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 28, 2022
If we read the Gospels we find a description of His clothing in almost every major part of His ministry. The Lord’s clothing, ever changing, is a representation of the many ways He comes to us in our lives. Come and see how He is present with us wearing Swaddling Cloths, the Hem of His Garment, Transfiguration Clothing, Borrowed Clothing, a Towel, a Purple Robe, and an Inner Garment. | By Rt. Rev. Thomas L. Kline | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Don't Add Good to Bad
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 21, 2022
When we have done something wrong, we might want to "fix" it by adding something good to it. The Lord asks us instead to remove the bad first, and that makes room for the good. | By Rev. Scott I. Frazier | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Coming Home
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 21, 2022
We all want a nice home in which we can feel safe and loved. This doesn’t just come with a nice house: we are home among the people who care for us and love us. We are also home when we rest in the Lord and His Divine care for us. We all have a spiritual home. This Sunday we’ll look at ways to find this home for ourselves. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Let Your Light Shine
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 14, 2022
Can a person really "shine?" If so, what is it in us that shines and why would the Lord ask us to do this? Who benefits? We will be exploring the difference between "hiding" our light and letting it shine before others, and how the former is actually a disservice to our neighbor while the latter is an expression of love and gratitude, an expression of charity. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Shine
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 14, 2022
Moses' face was said to have "shone" when he came down from Mount Sinai with the second set of tablets (Ex. 34:29). It was such a startling moment for Aaron and the children of Israel that they were afraid to come near him. We talk about a person's face "shining" or "beaming" (and how pleasant that is) but in the spiritual world this happens quite literally (see TC 209). The Lord wants us to shine, not simply for our own wellbeing and happiness, but for the sake of our neighbor too. We will be exploring why it is that our friends, neighbors and family need to see us shine. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

People Need People
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 14, 2022
The Teachings of the New Church assert that "People are not born for their own sake; they are born for the sake of others." Our lives are intricately tied up in the lives of those around us, and in fact, for better or worse, we cannot help but be defined by the people we come into contact with. No one can truly live isolated from others. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Building Our House on the Rock
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 14, 2022
The Lord told a parable comparing someone who built their house on sand, which then fell during a storm, versus someone who built their house on the rock, which then withstood the storm. What does it mean for us to spiritually build our houses on the rock? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Wanting a King
Worship Service: Informal Family - August 07, 2022
In 1 Samuel 8 the people asked Samuel to give them a king like the other nations. The Lord warned the people about the downsides of having a king, but they didn’t listen, so He told Samuel to give them what they wanted. What does this symbolize in our spiritual lives? | By Rev.

Sharing What We've Been Given
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - August 07, 2022
Sharing is hard - for children and also for adults. When we can remember all that the Lord has given us, it can help us to loosen our grip on what we have and feel less threatened by what the Lord has given to other people. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Breaking Bread
Worship Service: Sermon only - August 07, 2022
As preparation for taking the Lord's Holy Supper, we will be talking about the significance of breaking bread and sharing it. Particularly in Western culture, there can be a lot of emphasis on individuality and working on our individual lives but the Lord's goal for us is to be part of a larger whole in which we give and receive freely. How can we work towards that goal? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Gift of Freedom
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 07, 2022
What does it feel like to have your freedom taken away? We all crave freedom. We all want to be able to act with no restrictions. But freedom isn’t actually about being allowed to do anything and everything; it is about being allowed to do the things that you love. Regardless of what other restrictions may be imposed on us, if we can find what we love, and find a way to act on it, then we will be truly free. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Finding Meaning
Worship Service: Informal Family - July 31, 2022
Finding a purpose in life is one thing: Get yourself a goal and pursue that goal. But finding meaning and feeling like what we do matters is a whole different matter. The rich man in Matthew wanted eternal life but felt he was lacking something. Join us this Sunday as we explore what the rich man was lacking, and how we can “find” meaning in EVERYTHING we do. | By Rev. Jeffrey Smith | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
