Stages of Life - Part 2 - Teenage Years
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 04, 2020
This week we continue our exploration of the stages of life as seen in the story of Moses. As a young man Moses faced the challenges of putting his ideals into practice. On the one hand he could see with clarity the injustice his people faced. On the other hand, he struggled to reconcile how his own people treated each other, and in the end was forced to flee to a foreign land. These experiences illustrate well the dichotomy of the teenage years: a growing sense of right and wrong, tempered by growing awareness of the complexity of life. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Worship Service: Informal Family - October 04, 2020

Technology - Useful Tool or Useless Distraction
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 20, 2020
We live in a world of technology, all the more so since the advent of COVID-19. This pandemic has highlighted the blessing of technology, as it allows us to carry on work safely, to connect with loved ones around the world, even to attend church while not being able to attend in person. But it has also highlighted the downsides of technology, as we yearn to get back to in-person connection and struggle with the frustrating limits of technology. As with any tool, technology will be useful or useless depending on how much it is used in the service of what is spiritual. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Being Free to Choose a Better Life
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - September 06, 2020
The Lord healed a man who had been possessed by demons. These demons kept him from being near others and caused him to harm himself. The Lord has promised that this kind of possession can no longer take place but He does want us to recognize how evil spirits try to influence our thoughts and actions in ways that also separate us from others and are hurtful to ourselves. He would heal us of this influence with our cooperation. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Hope that We Can Change
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 06, 2020
Subtitle: Healing a Demon-Possessed Man. Sometimes we can feel stuck in a pattern of reacting to people and events in ways that aren't good for us or for the people around us. Even as we recognize something of the problem, our efforts to change may not apparently have much effect. The Lord has given us many stories of how He healed people while He was in the world. As we understand these stories, they can give us hope that the Lord can bring about profound changes within our lives that will be blessing to all. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
