Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 01, 2019
This week we continue to explore the Teachings of the New Church and what they can mean for us. One of the more unusual aspects of these works is the descriptions of conversations with spirits and angels and the surroundings in which they took place. Swedenborg did not just share ideas, but also the things that the Lord allowed him to see, hear, and feel. Although unusual, what can these experiences teach us about heavenly life that mere ideas could not? | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAFinding Safety

Worship Service: Informal Family - August 25, 2019
Last week we focused on doing useful physical tasks that support our worship community. This Sunday, as we take service to a higher level, we will be looking for ways to serve each other's SPIRITUAL needs. We all need to be USEFUL, to LEARN and grow, to have COMMUNITY, HOPE, spiritual HEALING, and FREEDOM. These are ways of serving the six different kinds of spiritual neighbors that the Lord mentions in Matthew 25. We will be looking at how these show up in Isaiah 58. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallA New Name
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 25, 2019
We get to witness two baptisms as part of the service this Sunday. When someone gets baptised we talk about them being baptised in the Lord’s name. There’s a lot that’s contained in that simple idea. This Sunday we’ll talk about what it means to take on the name of being a Christian and how we can find a new sense of identity in the Lord. | By Rev. Malcolm G.

An Unfair Fight? Dominating Evil Spirits and Gentle Angels. Then God spoke to Noah, saying, "Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you." (Genesis 8:15-16) | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralLove Commands-4: Love The Lord

Conclusion of the series "Love Commands" | By Rev. Glenn (Mac) Frazier | Mitchellville, MDMemorial Service for Edward Palmer
Memorial Service - August 25, 2019
On the 18 August 2019, Edward Palmer peacefully passed away at the age of 86. It's always a hard adjustment when someone passes away, even when they've been sick for a long time like Ted had been. While we grieve his passing, we also are glad for him that he is no longer encumbered with a sick body but instead can enjoy the full use of his spiritual body and can again walk, run, talk easily with people, explore, and eat whatever he wants. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Informal Family - August 18, 2019
This Sunday we’ll be having another “service” service. We did this two years ago. The service will not have a preacher or a talk. Instead, the service will be focussed on all of us doing useful things. “Worship of the Lord actually consists in useful behavior” (Secrets of Heaven 7038). We’ll start with some songs and open the Word, and have a short time for prayer and some readings. But we’ll spend most of our time having a “work party.” People can choose between various jobs including: organizing the costume cupboard, making new candle holders for the Christmas midnight service, sharpening pencils, organizing the altar-making materials, organizing props, sorting through the songbooks, cleaning chairs that need it, etc. We’ll close the morning with closing of the Word, and discussion. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 18, 2019
People are often intimidated to try reading Emanuel Swedenborg’s books. He wrote a lot of books and they get into some pretty deep and complex topics. And yet in his own words, these books are "the coming of the Lord." So how do we approach these books in a way that moves beyond philosophy and enters into a real, living relationship with the Lord? | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSAHow Do We Treat the Things Others Care About?

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 11, 2019
There's a lot about life that is beyond our control and so it's easy to feel like life is just happening to us and we are being dragged along for the ride. Despite that we do still have choices to make--big ones and little, day-to-day ones. How do we make good choices? What things do we need to have in place in our lives to give us the best chance of making good decisions in the midst of our busy, stressful, or just overwhelming lives? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAWhich Gateway?

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. (Matthew 7:13-14) | By Rev. Erik J. Buss | Bryn Athyn Cathedral
