Our Gifts for the Lord
Worship Service: Informal Family - December 30, 2018
The wise men brought the Lord symbolic gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh (Matthew 2). We too bring gold when we love the Lord, frankincense when we love one another, and myrrh when we wish to be of service. Yet when we reflect more deeply we see that these are actually gifts the Lord gives to us (Secrets of Heaven 9938.2). | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

Dickens' Christmas Carol
Doctrinal Class - December 19, 2018
Dickens' 1843 classic tale forged an enduring cultural link between the celebration of Christmas and the practices and attitudes of a Christian life. Richard Lines, president of the Swedenborg Society, calls it "Dickens' Swedenborgian Fairy Tale." Dickens apparently wrote it shortly after reading the work "Heaven and Hell" Background tones are from church organ being tuned. | By Rev. Jeremy F. Simons | Bryn Athyn Cathedral Social Hall

Keeping Watch By Night
Worship Service: Informal Family - December 16, 2018
The shepherds knew that night could be a dangerous time for the sheep, so they were diligently keeping watch. Little did they know of the spiritual darkness that was deepening and creating dangers for human beings. The darkness was suddenly removed with the appearance of an angel bringing them “good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.” We too have times when we need to keep watch within times of spiritual night with the hope and promise for our lives that the Lord’s birth into the world can bring to each of us. (a non-copyrighted song is included). | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

We Have Come to Worship Him
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - December 16, 2018
Worship is not something we think of as difficult. Yet there is a lot more to worship than meets the eye. The deeper meaning of worship shows up in the story of the wise men. These men did not simply worship the Lord from where they were. They got up and traveled to find the Lord and give him unique gifts. Likewise, if we want to truly worship the Lord, we have to seek Him out, and offer Him gifts of love, faith, usefulness. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA
