Community Worship Services

An opportunity for the whole community to come together once a month to worship the Lord.

The Next Service is Sunday, February 25, 2024, 10:00 am at the Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Sermon- Rev. Derek Elphick - “Who are you following?”

We are all “followers” of one thing or another – a favorite athlete, team, musician, artist, brand, expert – the list goes on. We tend to follow whoever or whatever interests us and, depending on the intensity of the interest, we allow it to influence us in small or big ways. This Sunday, we’ll be exploring what happened the day after the Feeding of the 5,000 when many of the followers of Jesus “walked with Him no more” (John 6:66). It’s been a while since we’ve had a Community Worship so it’ll be great to come together again as a congregation. Feel free to bring a friend!

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.
