NCL Service: You Are Seen

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

We all struggle with loneliness.  And yet the elemental building block of all creation is love. How can we build there, finding more connection and more meaning ... and coming around to truly understanding that God, with gentleness, assures all of us that we are seen.

NCL Service: Light in the Darkest Moments

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

As it says in the Psalms, when life gets really challenging we can reach a point where "Darkness is my only friend."  How do we get out of that place so that our lives don't get stuck on what is tragic?  How can we move on with the loss and heartbreak and find life anew?

NCL Service: How God Lifts Us Out of Despair

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

God is always there, we just have to know where to look. Come learn about how God uses the truth to lift us up, even when things seem darkest.with Curtis Childs5/26/24

NCL Service: Forward in Faith

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

We all experience hollowness at time, where life feels empty,  Our faith often can feel the same.  How do we get back on track?  What are the new commitments that grow out of a rekindled faith?

NCL Service: It’s All a Miracle

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

When we feel hollow, burned out, God asks us to remember the miracle.  It is not just the miracle of the 1969 "Miracle Mets" World Series Championship.  It is the miracle of life, the miracle of the "countless points of goodness."

NCL Service: From Emptiness to Purpose

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

Abraham’s Journey and Our Spiritual RenewalThere is an emptiness that is life giving. Let’s hold that as spaciousness. And there is an emptiness that feels soul-defeating. Lets hold that as the void. Out of the good emptiness, out of God-given spaciousness, we can find commitment again, a commitment that will help us re-discover purpose and renewal.5/5/24

NCL Service: Learning How to Pray

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

One of the quieter ways to create a space for God is prayer. Prayer, as Swedenborg writes, is simply a conversation with God. What are the different ways we can pray? What can we pray for? What approaches might help?4/14/24

NCL Service: Celebrating Easter

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

On Easter Sunday, let’s gather together to celebrate the miracle of this story – God’s story – where the final answer to death is not death itself, but resurrection and rebirth.3/31/24

NCL Service: Embracing the Hard Stuff

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

The Easter story is rich with darkness, yet it also offers profound lessons on embracing and navigating through it. How might we draw upon these lessons to find strength in our own moments of darkness?

NCL Service: Why Easter Matters

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

The Easter story can generate great meaning in our lives as we come to see God’s providence in the simple yet profound journey of birth, life, death, and resurrection. This is not only the essence of Easter but also mirrors our own journey as humans.3/17/24

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)
