Service to Others
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 25, 2020
The final week of our series on Resilience is about focusing on others. Service to others makes us healthy, whole and happy, which is the Lord's goal for us. The purpose of all the challenges for Joseph and his brothers was that the Lord could provide for them and all of Egypt through the work He would do through Joseph. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Resilience: Focus on Others
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 25, 2020
Resilience helps us get through difficult times, and an important factor in being resilient is focusing on others and being of use.

Nature - Part 1 - The Mineral Kingdom and Structure
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 25, 2020
For the next few weeks we’re going to have a bit of a change of pace—we’ll be doing a sermon series on the natural world and its connection to the spiritual world. This Sunday we’ll be talking about the least alive parts of the natural world—the rocks and minerals. In future weeks we’ll talk about vegetation and animals. This Sunday we’re also going to talk about the structure and design of it all with maybe a little chemistry and physics thrown in for fun. The goal is that you’ll come away from the sermon looking at the world around you with a fresh perspective. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

Connection with Others

Compassion and Brothers Reunited
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - October 18, 2020
Joseph's brothers had hated him, resenting Joseph's dreams of them bowing down to him. In spite of all the brothers had done, Joseph was able to forgive them and even recognize that God had been guiding all that happened to care for them all. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Compassion and Reconciliation
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 18, 2020
The story of Joseph is both a story of intense family conflict and on a deeper plane a story of how the Lord miraculously creates our minds anew. Underlying both is the theme of compassion and seeing the Lord's loving care for our lives leading us to a happier and more useful life then we could ever imagine. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Stages of Life - Part 4 - Old Age
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 18, 2020
Old age can be a time of great reflection: looking back on what has been, looking forward with wonder to what is to come after death. It can also be a time of trial and tribulation: as the body and mind fail, doubt and despair can creep in. Moses, at the end of his life, was able to reflect on the past and from that gracefully hand over his wisdom to the next generation. As we look at this concluding stage of life in this world, we will look at how we too can gracefully age and handover to the next generation. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Stages of Life - Part 3 - Adulthood
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 11, 2020
In our series on the stages of life, this Sunday we come to the stage of adulthood. We will follow the story of Moses as he is called by the Lord to do something great. And we will also see how he tries to get out of it any way that he can. Moses eventually grows into one of the greatest leaders of the Children of Israel but he also experiences a lot of ups and downs, victories and defeats along the way. Such is adulthood and the Lord’s Word can help us to find our way through it. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSA

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

Re-Seeing Challenges
Worship Service: Informal Family - October 04, 2020
