Worship Service: Ordination & Sermon - June 28, 2020
Ordination of Richard M. Glenn into the first degree by Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. Sermon by Richard Glenn. In a deeply troubled time of Elijah's life, an angel gave him food and drink which sustained him for the next forty days. In the same way, the Lord can comfort us during the many trials of our lives. He urges us to take care of ourselves, and he will sustain us, all with the goal of renewed energy and purpose to serve. | By Rev. Richard M.

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 21, 2020
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of New Church Day, our focus is on the sending out of the 12 disciples on June 19, 1770. We have the opportunity to remember together the Christmas Tableaux and the June 19th Pageant, and to ask ourselves what it means to be a disciple of the Lord. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn CathedralSent Out and Sent Out Again
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 21, 2020
The Child born to the woman clothed with the sun, described in Revelation 12, represents "the doctrine of the New Church" (see Apocalypse Revealed 543). Our opportunity is to focus on the revelation of the Heavenly Doctrines as the fulfillment of that prophecy. Beyond appreciation is the act of being sent out. The real impact of that revelation is people like us choosing to live an authentic New Church life as described in its pages. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn CathedralNew Church Day, 2020
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 21, 2020
This message looks at the birth 250 years ago of the era of the New Church. It considers the role of the New Church, not only on ending slavery, but on every aspect of human life. The end effect is a heaven from the human race in the Lord's heavenly kingdom, His Holy City New Jerusalem. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PALiving in a Post-Apocalyptic World, Part 3: The Future of the New Church
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 21, 2020
What's going to happen in the future of the New Church? What are things going to look like in the next 50 years or the next 1000 years? Will there be a need for another new church? This Sunday, as we celebrate the founding of the New Church 250 years ago, we will try to get a picture of the future of the New Church and an understand of what our role is right now. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 14, 2020
The Lord wants us to know that we make much better decisions when we can see ourselves and the choices before us in the light of heaven. Harmful things that might seem desirable when we aren't thinking clearly can be seen for what they are. This process is what much of the Book of Revelation describes. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralSeeing in the Light of Love and Wisdom
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 14, 2020
Many people reading the Book of Revelation see within its pages a description of an angry and condemning God who inflicts terrible punishment on people who are doing evil things. The teachings of the New Church call us to see these images completely differently. The Lord is revealing the true nature of things as they can be seen in the light of His love and wisdom. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralLiving in a Post-Apocalyptic World - Part 2 - New Foundations
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 14, 2020
The New Church teaches that the Apocalypse has already taken place: in fact, it took place over 250 years ago, as the New Church was being born into the world. Understanding the spiritual events from that time period can help us better understand the world we live in today. Last week, Malcolm talked about how the mere existence of the New Church did not automatically make people better: even New Church people have, and still can, support abhorrent practices. This week we will talk about the difference the New Church does make, and why it matters that a New Church was established and continues to exist. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAHealing Christianity I - Christianity is Damaged

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 07, 2020
In Revelation 5 the Lord is pictured as a Lamb that appeared to have been slain. It is a picture of how humanity has been continually trying to destroy innocence. This is because He is Innocence itself. In our world of racial conflict and pain, imagine how better things would be if we were all more innocent. | By Rev. Garry B. Walsh | Sarver, PALiving in a Post-Apocalyptic World - Part 1 - The Larger Narrative
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - June 07, 2020
Things in the world these days can seem rather apocalyptic. Intriguingly the teachings of the New Church say that the apocalypse has already happened, over 250 years ago in fact. What does that mean for us today? How can that larger narrative help us to understand what's going on in the world at the moment? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAJerusalem a Rejoicing
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 07, 2020
The Lord wants us to be happy and rejoice. The Holy City New Jerusalem is a picture of the joy and hope the Lord offers us. To find it, we have to change ourselves, and through us, the world around us, to fit with what the Lord says. | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralI Create Jerusalem a Rejoicing
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 07, 2020
The Lord's promise for the New Jerusalem is that it will be a joyful place full of His presence. Our world today seems a long way away from that promised place of peace. What can we do to bring Jerusalem present within us right now in a way that promotes peace, respect, integrity, and love in our world? | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn CathedralLoving Ourselves Part II: God's Plan
