Service service
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. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Good News, Fresh from Heaven
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, RSA

What Does it Take to Make Good Decisions in a Difficult Moment?
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, RSA

Which 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

Samuel, Part 3: Less Than Ideal, But Better Than Nothing
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - August 04, 2019
Towards the end of Samuel’s life the Children of Israel began demanding a king. They wanted someone in charge who could defend them from their enemies, and besides, all the neighbouring tribes got to have their own king. God had two responses to their demand: Don’t do it If you do, here’s how you need to do it Even though God knew that having a king was less than ideal, He was also willing to work with their demands and show them a way of doing it that would be successful. Likewise, when we balk at the Lord and demand to be able to do spirituality our own way, God is willing to compromise, provided we remain within a certain framework of truth. This Sunday we’ll talk about that less then ideal but still workable way of following the Lord. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Samuel, Part 2: Beyond Skin-Deep Spirituality
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - July 28, 2019
What makes someone spiritual? Is it how they talk and what they say? Is it the rituals they take part in or the practices they have developed? Is it how they treat other people? All of these things do go into a person's spirituality, but what really makes a person spiritual does deeper, to what is going on in the heart. The Children of Israel's superficial treatment of the Ark of God, and their subsequent defeat, has a lot to teach us about the need to go deeper than just going through the motions and to take what God says to heart. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
