Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 31, 2022
John had followed Jesus for three years. But now John was an old man living on the Island of Patmos. And here the Lord appeared to John in a totally new way. John heard a loud voice and he turned to see the Lord standing in the midst of seven golden lamp stands. We will see what this is like in our lives when we hear the voice of the Lord calling us. | By Rt. Rev. Thomas L. Kline | Bryn Athyn CathedralJohn's Vision of the Lord
Worship Service: Sermon only - July 31, 2022
When John saw the Lord appearing before him on the Isle of Patmos, he was able to see and behold the very essence of God. John's vision is a vision that each of us is to behold as we come to see Him revealed in His Second Coming. This first chapter in the book of Revelation describes the miracle that each of us is to experience in our relationship with the Lord. | By Rt. Rev. Thomas L. Kline | Bryn Athyn CathedralGod the Creator

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 31, 2022
At the Last Supper, having shared bread and wine with His disciples, the Lord commanded, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” Holy Supper is an opportunity to remember the Lord: to remember what He did for us in giving His life; to remember the Divine Love that He shares with us; to remember the Divine Wisdom that inspires us. But remembering the Lord is not just a matter of thought; it is a matter of doing what He commands us. The best way to “remember” the Lord is to actively follow His teachings. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSATruth 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 HallCome and See

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 24, 2022
When Moses ascended Mt. Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments, the Children of Israel were left to wonder what had become of him. As the days dragged into weeks, they lost trust in both him and the Lord, and so turned to worship a golden idol. When we feel abandoned by the Lord, with no sense of His deep presence, we also turn to our own idols, idols of pleasure or comfort. This Sunday we’ll look at how to notice this tendency in ourselves and push to reconnect with the Lord when He seems absent. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAWait on the Lord

Jonah was sent to offer a second chance to people who, in his opinion, didn’t deserve one. How can we overcome grudges to serve even people we don’t get along with? | By Rev. Coleman S. Glenn | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall"Go Forward"
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 17, 2022
Even though the command to "go forward" seemed like certain doom, the Israelites did it anyway and the Red Sea was miraculously parted. But as the Israelites crossed the dry seabed, they looked back in horror to discover Pharoah's army driving towards them in chariots, but then the wheels of the chariots fell off! That changed everything. We will consider the spiritual significance of "wheels" and how they symbolize the power to go forward. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn CathedralGot Momentum?
Worship Service: Sermon only - July 17, 2022
When we have momentum in our lives, things go well, when we lose momentum, we get frustrated and lost. In the account of the Red Sea Crossing (Exodus 14) we learn how the Lord "troubled" the Egyptian army causing the wheels of their war chariots to fall off. We will consider how the Lord "fights" for us (v 25) by cutting off our negative momentum and replacing it with true, lasting momentum, the kind that carries us forward to happier, peaceful states. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn CathedralMaking Faith Our Own
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 17, 2022
When you were born you knew nothing about the world and how it worked; nor did you know anything about the Lord or spiritual life. These were things that had to be taught to you, from a young age, both through education and through the examples set by the people around you. As you matured your faith became your own. No longer did you have to rely on others: you could enter into an adult relationship with the Lord and an adult understanding of spiritual life. Yet as simple as that sounds, we can all stand to reflect on how much of our faith is really our own, and how much work still needs to be done to move past what we were taught and live our faith for ourselves. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAMemorial Service for Marian M. Nelson

Worship Service: Informal Family - July 10, 2022
David had been anointed as the next king, but Saul was trying to kill him, and so David had to leave his wife Michal, and his best friend Jonathan, to run away and hide (1 Samuel 20). During this time David wrote many psalms about trusting in God. How can this story about David help us to trust in God as well when things aren’t going the way we want them to? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallYou Shall Go Out with Joy and Be Led Out with Peace

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 10, 2022
What is the Lord’s? In a broad sense all things are the Lord’s: He created and sustains everything in the universe. Yet we also feel as if we are our own masters. There is an innate sense that what goes on in our minds and hearts is ours and ours alone. Yet even here all that is good and true belongs to the Lord. Miraculously, when we acknowledge that truth and live it, we can actually feel more, not less, ourselves. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAStronger Through Adversity

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - July 03, 2022
With a clear and stark warning, the Lord places Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, telling them that if they eat of the tree of knowledge and evil, that they will die. They do eat of it. They don't die. Did God break His own rules? Or did He break ours? | By Rev. Charles E. Blair | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
