Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 19, 2020
"Mattocks and Pruning Hooks." We live in a contentious time, just as Easter was a contentious time. Yet the Lord says that life does not have to be that way. How can we use our words and actions to heal? | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralThe Spirit of the Lord: Finding Safety

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 19, 2020
The Tabernacle was a tent that served as the centre of Israelite worship. But in this archaic structure we can also see a heavenly model for our own minds. This week we will explore how the materials willingly given by the Children of Israel represent the many pieces of our hearts and minds out of which the Lord builds a place for Him to dwell within us. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Lord’s Healing Power

Worship Service: Chapel Talk - April 17, 2020
Reading from Matthew 28:16-20, the story of the "Great Commission" when the Lord sent out His disciples to baptize and teach. Please join in saying Recitation from Luke 24:30-31 Please join in singing "Jesu, Jesu" Liturgy #1042 We close with "O Canada" | By Rev. Michael K. Cowley | Toronto, ONWhen We Think the Lord is Absent
This chapel message is about how sometimes, though the Lord is present, we feel like He is absent. Most of the time we feel that way because of what is going on in our own life. Maybe we are in pain, and hoping for a miracle to happen, and we are not seeing anything yet. Maybe we have the COVID-19 virus and we wonder why the Lord didn’t prevent it from happening to us. Maybe we are fighting a huge battle and we feel like the Lord is totally absent. And the list goes on! Yet we are reminded in the Word of God that we are not alone. In fact the Lord has always been there, and He will always be there for us. So why don’t we feel His presence in those moments? [Audio from the YouTube video available at https://youtu.be/X3-xLmopdVs] | By Rev. Jean Atta | Phoenix, AZWhere is God?
When we see bad things happening, sometimes we might want to ask, "Where is God?" During our spiritual tests, we are apparently left completely alone, although in fact we are not alone--at those times God is most intimately present at our deepest level giving us support.

Worship Service: Chapel Talk - April 13, 2020
A chapel service created for Olivet School for Tuesday, April 14th, 2020. This service is about the events of Easter morning, and the question that we explore is, "The Lord had already raised people from the dead--so what made Easter morning so wonderful and so powerful?"

Worship Service: Informal Family - April 12, 2020
For the disciples, the Easter story took place during a time of fear and sadness. Many of them had lost hope. But Easter morning represents renewed hope, and the truth that the Lord doesn’t let anything happen that He can’t bring goodness out of. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallWhy the Lord Appeared First to Mary Magdalene
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 12, 2020
This Easter Sunday we are going to be focussing on the women at the tomb. Mary Magdalene, Mary (who had given birth to Jesus), and some other women were the first people at the tomb on Easter morning. And Mary Magdalene was the first person to see the Lord in His resurrection. Why was this and what can we learn from this about what in us will be most able to see and believe in the risen Lord? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAMary, Peter and John

Lesson Luke 24:1-9 Recitation: Mark 16:5-6 | By Rev. Michael K. Cowley | Toronto, ONRejoicing in Hope
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 05, 2020
When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday the crowds greeted Him with joy. Yet at that point, nothing had changed: after merely looking around, Jesus left the city again to spend the night on the Mount of Olives. The joy and hope of the crowds was only realized after the events of Jesus' capture, trial, torture, death, and resurrection. Even so, the joy of Palm Sunday is an important part of the Easter Story. Many of us, I am sure, are feeling that we have little to rejoice in at the moment: we have a long struggle ahead of us. But even if we cannot rejoice in the conclusion of this process yet, perhaps we can rejoice in the hope that the Lord will lead us to victory. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAThe Lord as Our King
Worship Service: Informal Family - April 05, 2020
On Palm Sunday we celebrate the Lord’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem as a King. In times of crisis it’s comforting to know that Someone is in charge. But how exactly is the Lord a King in times like this? And how do we turn to Him as our King? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
