The Next Service is Sunday, November 3, 2024, 10:00 am at the Bryn Athyn Cathedral
Rev. Malcolm Smith – "Prepared"
Have you ever felt well-prepared for something? It feels good to feel like we have the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual resources to handle a particular situation. Something comes up and we have what we need to respond appropriately. Great! Are you feeling prepared for the election next week and whatever happens after it? As we gather as a community to worship the Lord together (even as we will not all be voting for the same candidates), what would it look like for each of us to be better prepared by our Heavenly Father? The Lord can make a difference in our individual lives and in our community by preparing our hearts for these times of contention, stress, and fear for the future. Let’s talk about how.
NOTE: There will be no Informal, Young Children's, or Adult Service on this date.
Music
This Sunday we'll hear an interlude and postlude from the Bryn Athyn College Chorale who will also lead us in the hymns. The Cathedral Choir will join them for a new favorite "Ancient Words" as the final prelude.
Note

Upcoming Community Worship Service Dates
We are not offering Community Worship services in April or June because we will already be gathering as a whole congregation in that month for Easter and New Church Day. Also, the Community Worship Services will be on summer break in July and August.
Check out the Community Calendar for more on upcoming services and events.
How to Get Involved
This service will have many opportunities to get involved in helping to make it a rich community worship experience. Here are some of the areas we will need help with:
- Greeters – helping people find what they are looking for
- Refreshment contributions, set-up and clean-up
- Supervisors and assistants for children’s’ activity “stations” – mixed ages
- Art/craft projects leadership, set-up and clean-up
- Discussion leaders
- Families to help with chancel set-up, ushering, etc.
Please contact Nina at nina.dewees@brynathynchurch.org or 215-947-6225 ext.206 to learn more and describe where you would most like to volunteer.
We look forward to how this new church service will blossom into worship that will serve many people together.
