Young Adults Doctrinal Class - The Gospel of Mark
2026-05-12 19:00 - 20:30 | Bryn Athyn Church Office, 600 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA
About This Group
The goal of this group is to have a chance to discuss doctrine and application and have a good time with other young adults (aged 21 to 40) who have a desire to learn from the Lord and follow Him.

Current Series: The Gospel of Mark
This time, instead of studying a book of the Heavenly Doctrine, we’re going to study the Gospel of Mark. We’ll dig into it a couple of chapters at a time.
You don’t have to commit to come to all of the classes. You can just come to one of them to try it out.
There will be extra copies of the Word available for people to use during the class, and you can bring your own if you’d prefer.
These classes will just be in-person.

Timing & Location
Instead of weekly Saturday mornings we’re going to try monthly Tuesday evenings. The first meeting will be Tuesday, April 14 from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. in the Church Office (600 Tomlinson Rd.). After that we will meet on May 12th and June 9th. We will then make a plan with those who are coming as to whether to continue during the summer or wait for the fall.
Because we’re only meeting monthly (instead of weekly), we’re going to try meeting for an hour and a half instead of one hour.

Spring 2026 Reading/Topic Schedule
You are encouraged (but not required) to do the reading listed by each date before the class on that date.

April 14 – Mark 1
May 12 – Mark 2
June 9 – Mark 3-4

Any Questions?
If you have any questions, or would like to help make this class happen, contact Benjamin Alden at benjamin.alden4@gmail.com

Rise Above It Monthly Meeting
2026-05-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Asplundh Assembly Hall, 600 Tomlinson Rd, Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006, USA
A 10-month program that will take you deeper into the joy of living the 10 commandments.
Would you like to improve your life? Your relationships? Are you ready for some breakthroughs? If so, we’ve got good news for you!
Bryn Athyn Church will be focusing on the Ten Commandments this school year in several of our worship services and special events. A significant part of this focus will be inviting you to join large and small groups to study and practice the Ten Commandments using the book “Rise Above It.” We are thrilled to have the authors Rev. Ray and Star Silverman leading this effort!
This program will continue throughout the school year, meeting once monthly, with all the small groups together. Ray and Star will present the information and lead us through the activities, while participants sit with their group for discussion and to complete the tasks. Small groups can be a rotating collection of people, or you can sign up with a specific leader or with your ready-made group of eight. Groups have the option to meet with just themselves partway through the month for discussion, inspiration, and community building.
Here is a little more information about Rev. Ray and Star Silverman’s book:
If you want to enter into life – a joyful, peaceful, vibrant, and deeply spiritual life – the path is simple: believe in God and keep the commandments. Sometimes, however, this is easier said than done.
This book explores each of the Ten Commandments and demonstrates how we can apply them in our daily lives. Drawing from different sacred texts, including the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, this book shows how, by living a life according to the commandments, we can be happier here on earth and continue into the next life.
Filled with candid and inspiring journal entries from seminar participants, and enriched by the teachings of the great religions, this book invites you to enter into a life of ever-increasing love, wisdom, and service.

All are welcome. Join the meeting.

How Community Worship Services Work

There’s just one service.
The service starts at 10:00 am. We recommend coming 15-20 minutes early to have plenty of time to find parking and a seat.
After the opening part of the service the children and their families are invited to come and sit up in the front for a Children’s Talk.
After that, the children are invited to go to different areas based on their age group. (More details below.)
If your child is 5 or older, you can leave them in the Council Chamber and rejoin the service for the adult portion. You can drop them off or they can go on their own but please ask your children to wait for you to collect them at the end of the service.
If your child is younger than 5, they can participate in the activities if you (or another responsible family member) stay with them.
After the service, please collect your children from the Council Chamber or Undercroft and join us for refreshments in the Social Hall, or outside in the cloister.

This Sunday’s Service
Music
This Sunday’s music features the Cathedral Choristers, and the last prelude will be an arrangement of the stirring Welsh hymn “Calon Lân” (Pure Heart) sung by the choristers and the Cathedral Choir. Come early if you want to hear all of the beautiful preludes. Doors open and music begins at 9:40. For those that like to practice the hymns before coming, we’ll be singing “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” (850), “Give Me Oil in My Lamp” (a handout), “Only in God” (1035), and “The Lord Bless You and Keep You” (1123).
Want to Bring Refreshments?
We would love it if you’re able to bring some refreshments this Sunday. It’s definitely the more the merrier. Please bring finger food that is totally ready-to-go—that is, no additional preparation or plating needed. Please drop it off on the table in the social hall as you arrive. If you bring refreshments on non-disposable dishes, please remember to take those with you when you leave. Thanks!
The Children’s Program
After the Children’s Talk, the children will be invited to go to specific areas based on their age group. (See the map below.) They will not be allowed to roam around and choose from all of the possible activities regardless of age.

Infants to 2nd Grade will be invited to go to the Council Chamber to play with toys, color, or listen to storytelling with Anne Grace Glenn. If your child is younger than 5, they can participate in the activities if a responsible family member stays with them. If you have an older child accompanying a younger child, please tell them to go to the area for the younger child.
3rd to 5th Grade will be invited to go down through the Undercroft to play outside on the East lawn.
6th to 8th Grade will be invited to meet in the Social Hall. They will then be taken outside to the sitting area overlooking the valley for a discussion and activity.
High school age and up are invited to stay in for the adult talk.

After the service, please collect your children from the Council Chamber and Undercroft. Meet your 6th to 8th graders in the Social Hall.
