Dickens' Christmas Carol
Doctrinal Class - December 19, 2018
Dickens' 1843 classic tale forged an enduring cultural link between the celebration of Christmas and the practices and attitudes of a Christian life. Richard Lines, president of the Swedenborg Society, calls it "Dickens' Swedenborgian Fairy Tale." Dickens apparently wrote it shortly after reading the work "Heaven and Hell" Background tones are from church organ being tuned. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Social Hall

Keeping Watch By Night
Worship Service: Informal Family - December 16, 2018
The shepherds knew that night could be a dangerous time for the sheep, so they were diligently keeping watch. Little did they know of the spiritual darkness that was deepening and creating dangers for human beings. The darkness was suddenly removed with the appearance of an angel bringing them “good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.” We too have times when we need to keep watch within times of spiritual night with the hope and promise for our lives that the Lord’s birth into the world can bring to each of us. (a non-copyrighted song is included). | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Where Is He Who Has Been Born King of the Jews?
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 16, 2018
The wise men pursued the Lord when they knew of His coming. Our knowledge of the Lord can be a star that leads us to Him, and it includes finding Him by way of organized religion and the wisdom collected there. Even when these organizations are corrupted, they are a place where we can learn and find the Lord. | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA

We Have Come to Worship Him
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 16, 2018
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

The Christmas Census
Worship Service: Informal Family - December 09, 2018
The Christmas story takes place during a census, which would have been an inconvenience for Mary and Joseph (Luke 2:1-3). But providentially this led to the Lord’s birth in Bethlehem. What is the “census” in our own lives that leads to the birth of the Lord in our hearts and minds? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Snow White - A Christmas Story ?
Doctrinal Class - December 05, 2018
In 1812 Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm first published their collection of old tales. Devoutly Christian, the brothers believed that "fairy tales are survivals of an ancient faith that goes back to the earliest times, a faith which is expressed in the pictorial representations of things that go beyond the senses."
