Bread from Heaven
Worship Service: Informal Family - September 22, 2024
Every day for over 40 years, the Children of Israel were fed with miraculous manna. But Jesus said that He Himself was the true bread from heaven, more miraculous than manna.

With just five loaves of bread and two fishes the Lord fed 5000 very hungry people till they were all full, with 12 baskets of food left over.

This Sunday we will be offering Holy Supper (with alternatives) during the Family Service. Read the full description of how the service will go at brynathynchurch.org/holy-supper. The readings and short talk will be about a phrase that comes up repeatedly in the teachings of the New Church: loving truth for the sake of truth and good for the sake of good. As we think about taking the bread and wine from the Lord, we will try to be ready to gratefully receive what the Lord has to offer. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Bryn Athyn CathedralBuilding Community

The story of building the tabernacle (Exodus 35:20-29) tells us about Building Community.

We will celebrate the Lord’s presence in our community with Holy Supper. | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallTwo Gateways to Eternal Life

Worship Service: Informal Family - May 20, 2018
This Sunday we look at the story of “Gideon and the Loaf of Barley Bread” (Judges 7:7-15). Gideon had to reduce the size of his army, and he was now vastly outnumbered against the Midianites. But a strange dream about a ‘loaf of barley bread’ and a ‘tent' let him know that the Lord would still bring victory. In the Gospels, the Lord also fed the 5000 with only five loaves of barley bread. What does all this represent in our own lives? This is a Holy Supper service. | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallConjunction With The LORD In Holy Supper
