| By Rt. Rev. Brian W. Keith | Bryn Athyn CathedralWrestling with Faith
Worship Service: Informal Family - April 24, 2022
The name Israel means “wrestling with God.” That name says something about the quality of faith. With faith there are forms of wrestling that are healthy that contribute to growth in wisdom and love, and there are forms of wrestling that are unhealthy that can tear one another apart. We will focus on the healthy wrestling that leads to finding spiritual solutions to life’s toughest problems. | By Rt. Rev. David H. Lindrooth | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallMemorial Service for Wren Hyatt Doering

Easter Festival Service | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick | Bryn Athyn CathedralFinding the Risen Lord
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 17, 2022
Easter is of course about the Lord’s Resurrection after His Crucifixion. But just because the Lord rose and lived again does not mean that we ourselves feel His living presence within ourselves. There is a process of being led to Him; it is a process that involves both the head and the heart, a process that involves grief and joy, faith and doubt. This Easter Sunday we will explore what the Gospel of John has to tell us about finding the Risen Lord in our own lives. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSARisen

On Easter morning the angel said: “He is risen! He is not here.” (Mark 16:6) What does it mean for the Lord to be “risen” in our lives? Where do we sometimes look for the Lord, and where should we be looking instead? | By Rev. John L. Odhner | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallPalm Sunday: A Happy or Sad Event?
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 10, 2022
As Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday many people rejoiced and Jesus wept. Why on this day of apparent triumph was Jesus sad? | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralPalm Sunday: Jesus Wept for the People of Jerusalem
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 10, 2022
Jesus' responses to events on Palm Sunday are reflections of His perfect love for all people and also His efforts to stop harmful events. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell | Bryn Athyn CathedralConfess the Lord
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 10, 2022
In the Gospel of John, Palm Sunday is described in the context of the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead. There were those who knew of this miracle and hated the Lord for it; there were those who knew of it but kept quiet from fear; and there were those who knew of it and so joyfully confessed the Lord as their king. It was this last group that welcomed Jesus with palm branches. This Sunday we will explore how we too can bear witness to the Lord and rejoice in His coming. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSARiding on a Donkey

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 03, 2022
When the Lord raised Lazarus from the dead He showed He had all power, even power over life and death. He also showed that in using his power, He always acts from love and for love. We can't do everything the Lord can do but the Lord gives us the power to do good when we follow the path the Lord modelled for us. (John 11) | By Rev. Barry C. Halterman | Bryn Athyn CathedralJesus Wept: The Human Side of God
Worship Service: Sermon only - April 03, 2022
Throughout the history of religion, God's various qualities have been depicted in various ways in the many different cultures across the globe. In coming on earth as Jesus Christ, the Lord showed us the crucial missing element: God's Humanity. Connecting with God as a Divine Human Being changed the world and it can change us. (John 11:35; TCR 370, 109) | By Rev. Barry C. Halterman | Bryn Athyn CathedralLegitimate Authority
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - April 03, 2022
We see so much abuse of power in the world—countless examples of people using their influence on other people in harmful ways. But what does legitimate authority look like? What sort of claims to authority by other people should we reject and resist and what ones should we comply with? And what kind of authority over other people should we aspire to? Let’s see what we can learn about this from the One who is all-powerful. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith | Westville, RSAPrayer: Leaving the Lord to Decide
Worship Service: Informal Family - April 03, 2022
In the stories leading up to Easter, prayers feature often. In every case, even with the Lord Himself, they’re about getting centered and remaining open to the Lord’s leading. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
