| By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn CathedralPrayer: 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 HallLearning for a Purpose
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - February 20, 2022
As the title suggests we engage in learning to be able to do things based on that learning. In spritiaul terms the Word is our guide and a spiritual life with our version of usefulness is the outcome. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn CathedralMy Father's Business
Worship Service: Sermon only - February 20, 2022
At age twelve, the Lord declared that He must be about His Father's business. We too are called "to perform a use in accord with the Lord's gracious purposes" (Arcana Coelestia 1103:2). Our focus this Sunday is on our life's purpose or our way of contributing uniquely to the Lord's Kingdom. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn CathedralLed by the Holy Spirit

In Matthew 5:38-42, we hear a call to put energy into the things that matter most. We will explore together the value of working out differences, pursuing spiritual goals, and self-improvement. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn Heilman HallA Fruitful Life
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - April 11, 2021
The Lord asks us in the Gospel of John 15:4 to be a branch that brings forth fruit. A fruitful life is a useful life. With the Lord's guidance, our desire to help can "branch out" in many useful ways as we become more and more capable of serving. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M.

Worship Service: Family (may include music) - June 21, 2020
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of New Church Day, our focus is on the sending out of the 12 disciples on June 19, 1770. We have the opportunity to remember together the Christmas Tableaux and the June 19th Pageant, and to ask ourselves what it means to be a disciple of the Lord. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn CathedralSent Out and Sent Out Again
Worship Service: Sermon only - June 21, 2020
The Child born to the woman clothed with the sun, described in Revelation 12, represents "the doctrine of the New Church" (see Apocalypse Revealed 543). Our opportunity is to focus on the revelation of the Heavenly Doctrines as the fulfillment of that prophecy. Beyond appreciation is the act of being sent out. The real impact of that revelation is people like us choosing to live an authentic New Church life as described in its pages. | By Rt. Rev. Peter M. Buss, Jr. | Bryn Athyn CathedralThere Must Be a Place
