Remembering and Not Forgetting
Worship Service: Informal Family - March 22, 2020
The Word has many passages that talk about "remembering" or "not forgetting." In the story of Noah's Ark, "remembering" is mentioned 3 times. How are "remembering" or "not forgetting" different? How are they the same? What should we be remembering? The video version of this service is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqkrXDj7wCM | By Rev. Kurt Hyland Asplundh | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallFinding Jesus in the Life of Elisha: Persistently Seeking the Lord
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 22, 2020
In the challenges that we face, and that many of us are facing right now, it is important that we continually go back to the Lord. Spiritual life does not just happen: it takes intentional and persistent work, work that goes on even when life is at its hardest. Remember that this service will be streamed live online at 9:30am this Sunday at https://www.facebook.com/newchurchwestville. There will be a children's talk before the adult sermon. We encourage you to not just watch the video, but to actually experience worship: open your own copy of the Word, light candles, kneel for the prayers, sing some worship songs before or after the service, and so on. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAWaiting by the Waters

"While I am coming another steps down before me." (John 5). A man had been waiting 38 years to be healed. He'd watched while others found healing in the waters of the pool of Bethesda. The Lord "knew" that he'd been there "a long time." Why didn't He help sooner? | By Rev. Grant H. Odhner | Bryn Athyn CathedralPowerless
Worship Service: Sermon only - March 22, 2020
So much of life is out of our control. We can feel helpless in the face of that. The Lord experienced similar circumstances when He was in the world. Before He was glorified, His conscious awareness was bound by limits, just as ours, so that He could be attacked by hell. In these moments, He was able to overcome because He could draw on an inner power that was His own. We are indeed powerless in such moments; but the Human God is with us. Can we trust in him? | By Rev. Grant H. Odhner | Bryn Athyn CathedralSamson and Delilah

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 15, 2020
The New Church teaches that, at their deepest level, the stories in the Word are all about the Lord and what He went through while He was in this world. We are going to be looking for connections to the life of Jesus in the dramatic and sometimes quite confusing stories of the prophet Elisha. In this first part we will be looking at the relationship between Elijah and Elisha and exploring how the Lord in the Word made flesh can help us with our real problems and challenges. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Informal Family - March 08, 2020
Today's service includes the baptism of one of our newcomers: Elizabeth Savino. The talk will focus on the story of the children of Israel entering the Promised Land by crossing the Jordan river (Joshua 3-4). The Jordan river was where John the Baptist baptized people, and it was also the way by which people would enter the Holy Land. We will talk about how this story and the sacrament of baptism both symbolize being led by the Lord into a new state of life. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallRender Unto Caesar
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - March 08, 2020
The teachings of the New Church point out how important it is to distinguish between things that are spiritual and things that are natural. This might sound like a bit of abstract philosophy, but you've probably run afoul of doing it wrong: have you ever felt like a bad person for cheating on a diet or wearing the wrong thing to a wedding? That guilt comes, in part, from lending spiritual weight (being a bad person) to a natural rule (diet or dress code). If we can do better at distinguishing spiritual from natural, it will lift an unnecessary weight from our lives. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAUnder Siege - III: Pray
