  • What Life After Death Can Teach Us About Life Right Now

    Worship Service: Informal Family - 3 Sep, 2023

    There are a lot of things to think about, care about, and stress about in this world.

Smith , Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall

  • Why is Heaven Such a Happy Place?

    Worship Service: Family (may include music) - 6 Mar, 2022

    There are many ways of explaining the happiness of heaven. All of its blessings are a gift from the Lord. Part of how this occurs is the result of each angel receiving good things from all the other angels. | By Rev. Eric H. Carswell , Bryn Athyn Cathedral

  • Heavenly Happiness - Each Angel is the Center of All

    Worship Service: Sermon only - 6 Mar, 2022

  • The Journey of Life (and Death)

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 13 Feb, 2022

    For all of us, life will end in death. But it won’t really end there: after the body dies the spirit continues to live. This Sunday we will look at the journey of self-discovery that awaits us on the other side, and give some thought to how it might shape how we live in the her and now. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA

  • Stories from Heaven and Hell

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 28 Feb, 2021

    In the New Church we talk a lot about the afterlife. A few weeks ago we talked some about the structure and process of the afterlife. But raw information never shows the full picture. Stories of daily interactions and interesting anecdotes flesh things out. That is why we are looking to the stories from the Teachings of the New Church that lay out just a glimpse of what we can expect in the afterlife. This week we will hear stories that take place in heaven and in hell. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn , Westville, RSA

  • Stories from the World of Spirits

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 21 Feb, 2021

Why were these stories included and what can we learn from them about how things work after death? | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA

  • What Do People Do After Death

    Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - 7 Feb, 2021

    A lot of people have lost loved ones recently. When someone we love dies we can have a lot of questions. First, how do we know that they are still alive somewhere? If they are alive somewhere, what is their experience like? What do they do with their time? Is it a pleasant experience; is it an unpleasant experience? There is a lot of information about the afterlife in the teachings of the New Church. This Sunday we will scratch the surface of that body of teaching and try to cover some of the important basics of a New Church understanding of what life is like after death. | By Rev. Malcolm G. Smith , Westville, RSA
