 A year-long centennial celebration is a tremendous
challenge, but it’s also a tremendous tribute to people and their faith. So
many things do not last a hundred years. So many things can not stay
centered for that long. What is it that holds together through generations
an assembly of people who may otherwise be very different? For us at Bryn
Mawr, the answer is pretty simple. This is a church where volunteers come
forward eagerly, where we often know what to do before we’re asked. Our
talents and our tasks fit into the whole in grace and harmony. This is a
church that belongs to its people and people who belong to their church. We
are a people who honor God and one another, guided by Christian principles
that have endured for centuries; and we believe, through good times and bad
times, that these principles will prevail.
This is the place. You can see it as soon as you
enter, you can see the glow as light pours into the narthex, you can feel
the glow as it warms you. This church, this congregation, welcomes you
instantly, and you know that this is the church you have been looking for.
This is where faith and community commitment come together, where all ages
and all interests work in harmony to create a center for worship and
general activities. In 2009 Bryn
Mawr Church
will celebrate 100 years of active participation in worship and the world,
and we look back on both a long history and a recent history of expansion.
In the last four years we have seen phenomenal growth, doubling the size of
our social hall and remodeling and enhancing our narthex and parking area.
This is a center of joyful worship and loving interaction. This is a church
that welcomes everyone, that honors Christ’s living words telling us to
bless all who enter. Here you will find a Sunday experience that touches
your entire week with elegance and grace. It is here we have true shalom.
