Young Adults Philly Pub Night
2026-02-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Yard’s Brewing Co. 500 Spring Garden Street Philadelphia, PA
We’ve finally got another Young Adults Pub Night on the calendar! We’re going with Friday, February 13th 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, 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 stand around while we wait. If you let us know that you’re coming and when, we can try to get enough tables sooner.

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 today to tell me where you’re at with this pub night? (malcolm.smith@brynathynchurch.org) Even a message like, “I’d love to make it, but I don’t know yet whether I’ll be able to.” is helpful.
Want to carpool from Bryn Athyn?
People have carpooled to and from Bryn Athyn for previous pub nights. Ethan King has offered to drive people in his van. If you’re interested in participating in that, reply to this email to let me know. They will be meeting people at the College Center at 6pm on the 13th.

Moms' Seven-Week Journey Series
2026-02-19 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-02-26 10:00 - 11:30
Shift – Small Changes, Big Difference
Thursdays through February 26, 10:00-11:30 am
Looking for a little spiritual nourishment and fellowship this winter? We warmly welcome moms of any age (babies and toddlers welcome) to join a seven-week Journey Series with other moms to discuss and practice making changes to become a better you, with the Lord’s help. Using Sasha Silverman and Rev. Malcolm Smith’s book Shift, we will explore the Bible story of the life of Jacob to see what we can learn and apply about making small shifts to see big differences in our daily and eternal lives. Last winter we had a vibrant moms’ Journey group about Practicing Mindfulness, and this connection helped many of us to better survive the challenges of winter. Won’t you join us this season? Contact Nina if you are interested or want to learn more – nina.dewees@brynathynchurch.org or 215-544-1413.

Rise Above It Monthly Meeting
2026-03-04 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.
Visit www.brynathynchurch.org/riseaboveit to learn more about the program.
