NCL Service: Conflict with Ourselves

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

Every human being is a mix. Blessed and broken. Saint and sinner. True self and false self. How can we hold all the conflict in a healthy way as God would have us hold it.

NCL Service: Finding Faith

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

Many of us want more faith in our lives. “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief” seems like a common experience. And God does answer that desire. It’s an answer far more about a living faith than a static set of beliefs. Let’s look a bit closer at finding faith vs belief.9/3/23

NCL Service: Slowing Down

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

We live in a time in which we relentlessly pursue efficiency.  Efficiency has many positive attributes but it rapidly can cost us presence.  How can we learn to be more present to God and to others?  Maybe a little less efficiency could serve us well.

NCL Service: Love is Patient

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

One of the most powerful definitions and descriptions of love can be found in 1st Corinthians 13.The first line is… “Love is Patient.”Why is being patient key? How can we, with God’s help, learn how to be patient in our lives and with those we love?

NCL Service: What Are Heaven and Hell?

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

Is there a place of eternal reward called heaven? And a place of eternal punishment called hell? Join us as we explore Heaven, Hell, and how they both might be more familiar than we think. With Curtis Childs

House Building 101

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

Jesus asks us to build our house “on the rock.”  What is the “rock” we can build on?  What are the “sands” we need to remain leery of?

NCL Service: Do Not Worry

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

We live in an anxious time. How can we rediscover a God-given trust that helps lessen the anxieties that haunt us?

NCL Service: Strong and Generous in the Face of Hate

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

We will all have “enemies” of a sort – those who committed an actual wrong that in some way harmed.When facing such harm, how can we find that higher place, a place where forgiveness and reconciliation might someday be possible?

NCL Service: How Love Works in Heaven

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

Sure, we talk about love a lot. We look for it, we sing about it, but do we really know what it is or the kind of power it has? Let’s learn more about this crucial part of existence by peering into the spiritual side of life.

NCL Service: The Sermon on the Mount: Staying Kind in Hard Places

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

The Sermon on the Mount is considered Jesus’ “magnum opus” or “great work”. In ways very subtle, the message gently calls to look at life in a new way … and to live in new ways even in hard places. The key notes are struck in the famous beginning to the sermon, commonly known as […]

NCL Service: A New Creation

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

One of the most beautiful promises of a spiritual life centers on newness. As Paul phrased it “…the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” How do we welcome that newness?

NCL Service: God Will Wipe Away Every Tear

Mitchell Performing Arts Center, 800 Tomlinson Rd, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009, USA

The Bible is full of strife, pain, disruption, and hopelessness, but it actually has a happy ending! Our lives can have a lot of the same hard things in them, but guess what? There’s a “happy ending” carefully being built for your life right now.

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.

More questions? Get in touch with Malcolm (malcolm.smith@brynathynchurch.org)
