The Third Commandment: Remember the Sabbath Day, To Keep It Holy
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 9 Nov, 2025
(Exodus 20:8) The Hebrew word for “Sabbath” means rest. Physical and mental “rest” is relatively easy to obtain but a holy day of rest requires a different mindset and a different skill set. This commandment draws our attention to the fact that the quality of our Sabbath Day is directly proportional to how things go during the "six days of labor" leading up to it, and how we view the challenges and difficulties of our work week. | By Rev. Derek P. Elphick , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Building on a Sound Foundation
Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 2 Nov, 2025
How we develop our minds on a firm foundation of knowledge and truth is a subject that has been of keen interest to those interested in New Church education over the years. Two stories that deal with this are building our house upon a rock and the children of Israel leaving Egypt and taking their gold, silver, and garments with them. Come and see if it is really safe to borrow from the Egyptians and what it means to build your house on the rock! | By Rt. Rev. Bradley D. Heinrichs , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Holy Fear
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 2 Nov, 2025
Fear is really not our favourite thing to feel. We would usually ask the Lord to remove our fears, and He tells us not to be afraid. And yet there are other parts of the Word that talk about "the fear of the Lord" as a good thing! It turns out that there is something like fear, that even feels like fear, and yet that is also a good thing that comes from love. Even as the Lord removes our fears, He inspires us with holy fear, a fear that relates not to danger but to love. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA
