Young Adults Pub Night
August 23 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
We’ve finally got another Young Adults Pub Night on the calendar! We’re going with Friday, August 23rd down in Philly at Yards Brewing Company on Spring Garden Street.
Pub Night Details
Because it’s been a while since we’ve had one of these pub nights (and because we’ve added some more people to this email/text list), let me tell you what a pub night involves:
– It’s a chance to have a free drink or two and hang out with Derek Elphick, me (Malcolm Smith), and other young adults connected to the New Church. (You can get a non-alcoholic drink or some small food item instead of an alcoholic drink on our tab, if you would prefer.)
– Come around 7pm (or whenever works for you) and stay as long as you want. Derek and I will probably close the tab and leave between 9 and 10 but you can keep hanging out for as long as it’s fun.
– We’ve had times when less than 10 people came and times when over 50 people came.
– Because it’s a Friday night, there may be a bit of a wait before we get a table(s) but we can just hang out outside while we wait. If you let us know that you’re coming and when, we can try to get enough tables sooner.
– Who qualifies as a “young adult” you ask? 21-35 years old, give or take a few years. If you’re a bit young or a bit old but want to come, come!
Want to carpool from Bryn Athyn?
A number of people have said that they would like to carpool to the pub night from Bryn Athyn. Ethan and Anna-Katrine King have both kindly offered to drive people in extended vans. If everyone fits in the vans, then just the vans will go. If there are more people than fit in the vans that want to carpool, I will leave it to whoever is there to negotiate who drives and who goes in which vehicles.
Meet at the Bryn Athyn College Center parking lot at 6:15pm and people will be trying to leave for Yards at about 6:30pm. If you let me know that you’re wanting to carpool, I can give your name to Ethan and Anna-Katrine so they can know to watch for you.
Are we trying to bribe you?
I will admit that when I first heard this idea it seemed a little… insulting to young adults – like you would only want to come to something if we offered you free alcohol. But it’s been clear to me that people are not coming to these pub nights for one free beer. People want to spend time with other young adults connected with the church and they want to talk about real and important things (and they also want to hang out and have a good time). These pub nights are just one way to offer an opportunity to do those things.
RSVPs are helpful
You don’t have to RSVP to come but it is helpful to have a sense of how many people might be coming. Can you email me or text me today to tell me where you’re at with this pub night? Even a message like, “I’d love to make it, but I don’t know yet whether I’ll be able to.” is helpful.

Using the Calendar
It Will Display Differently on Your Phone
Some of the features of this calendar only work when viewing on a bigger screen. If you’re on a phone, look for these icons to search and change your view.
When you tap on the magnifying glass, a search box will appear below the color-coded categories. Use the icon on the right to change between month and list views. List view is recommended for mobile use.
The Reset Calendar Button Is Your Friend
If the calendar is behaving strangely, start over again by clicking Reset Calendar. It’s at the end of the color-coded categories.
Click on an Event for More Information
Many events have more details than will display at first. On a computer you can hold your mouse over an event title to see a summary of the description. On a computer or a phone, if you click the title of the event it will display more information, often including links to the full details for the event – the location, the cost of the event, where to buy tickets, etc.
Search
There’s a search box that you can use to search for when specific events are (e.g. you could search for Community Worship to know when the next Community Worship services are). It doesn’t work to search for a specific date to see what’s happening on that date. After you search, make sure that you’re in List View to see events from more than the current month.
Go to a Specific Date
To jump to a specific date, click the ⌄ next to today’s date and select the date or month you want to go to.
See Only Events from Certain Calendars
If you click one of the color-coded category labels, it will show you only events for that institution. (You may want to switch to List view to see events for more than the current month.)
On the left-hand side, under Filters, click the + next to Select Calendars to View and then click the checkboxes for which institutions you would like to see events from. This doesn’t seem to be working in mobile view at the moment.
Other Notes
This is kind of clunky
Yup. This calendar isn’t as good-looking or user-friendly as it could be but we decided to make it available to you anyway, before we have all the bugs worked out. If you might be able to help make it work better, please get in touch (malcolm.smith@brynathynchurch.org).
Want to Add Something to the Calendar?
Before you contact us to add something to the calendar, please read these notes:
- This calendar is for events happening in the 19009 zip code and generally for events at least somewhat associated with the Bryn Athyn Church or General Church.
- This calendar is for events that are relevant to a large group of people. We are not, for example, including the complete ANC Secondary Schools and Bryn Athyn College athletics calendars in this community calendar because all of those games would not be relevant to a large enough group of people. (You can, however, find links to those calendars below.)
- We reserve the right to remove your event or not add your event to the calendar.
- Rather than adding your events manually we would prefer you to set up a digital calendar and then send us the feed from it so that we can add your events automatically.
