We meet monthly on Zoom on the first Wednesday of each month, 7:15-8:30 pm. Contact Nina at nina.dewees@brynathynchurch.org to get the Zoom link or learn more about the group. We would love to welcome you to this understanding and caring group.

Community Worship
2026-11-08 10:00 - 11:00 | Bryn Athyn Cathedral, 900 Cathedral Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, United States
Community Worship Services offer a chance to gather for worship, reflection, and connection as a community. There is one service on this Sunday, beginning at 10:00 a.m., and you may want to arrive a bit early to find parking and a seat. (There is no Informal, Young Children’s or Adult service on this date.)
Early in the service, children are invited forward for a children’s talk. Following this, they can head to the south end of the building to take part in a variety of supervised activities which vary by season. Children ages 5 and up will be invited to go to specific areas based on their age group, with the understanding that they will picked up afterward by their parent or guardian. Children younger than 5 are also welcome to participate, provided a parent or responsible family member stays with them.
After the service, families are invited to gather for refreshments in the Social Hall, outside the cloister, or by the porte cochère—a great opportunity to connect and enjoy time together.

Zoom Discussion
Please join us on Zoom for an online small-group discussion of this Sunday’s Community Worship Service. This discussion is hosted by the team that regularly meets on Sundays to discuss the Informal Family Service. Feel free to join this meeting at any time between 11:30 and 12:30 on Sunday. All are welcome.
Join the meeting.

BA Church Board Meeting
2026-11-17 19:00 - 20:00 | Bryn Athyn Church Office, 600 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

Four Gospels Seminar: Mark
2026-11-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Asplundh Assembly Hall, 600 Tomlinson Rd, Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006, USA
The Gospel of Mark
We are still deciding on the exact start time and length, but the seminars will be on Wednesday evenings in Asplundh Assembly Hall, with a potluck dessert partway through the evening, similar to the Rise Above It sessions we had this past year. (We will still have some Community Suppers on Fridays, but they won’t be part of this series.)
Hearing about the gospels in four seminars will only be scratching the surface, and so we are hoping that people will also slowly read through and study at least one of the gospels in its entirety this year. You can do this individually, but it will be a much richer experience if you do it as part of a doctrinal class or small group and get to hear other people’s thoughts as they reflect on and grapple with the gospels. If you are already part of a group or a class, we invite you to consider putting one of the gospels on your schedule for the year. If you’d like to be part of a group, stay tuned for more information about when and where groups and classes are meeting. We will also have resources available for individual and group study, including commentaries by New Church authors.
In Revelation 11 we read that the two witnesses “will prophesy 1,260 days” and Apocalypse Revealed 491 explains that this means “an acknowledgment of the Lord and a life in accordance with the Ten Commandments, which are the two essential elements of the New Church, must be taught until the end and a new beginning [of the church].” We have a responsibility to teach these two essential elements of the church. Last year we focused on the Ten Commandments; this year it seems right to focus on acknowledgment of the Lord Jesus Christ. What better place to do that than the four gospels? We hope that you’ll join us and that, by the end of the year, you will have grown in your understanding and love of the Lord.
