Tubing on the Brandywine River
Saturday, July 22, 2017 at 12:00 PM

Overbrook Youth Group invites youth and families to go tubing on the Brandywine River on Saturday, July 22. We will be meeting at Overbrook Church parking lot at noon to carpool to Wilderness Canoe Trips on Route 202 in Delaware. This is a lazy, meandering river ride in shallow water, about an hour and a half long, that is suitable for ages 5 and up (younger children need to be accompanied by a parent). Cost is $20-23 per person, depending on the size of our group. Scholarships are available so all church youth and members can participate. Contact Pastor Carolyn at 302-528-1797 to sign up or for more information.

Service of Healing and Wholeness
Sunday, July 23, 2017

We invite you to stay for a few minutes after the worship service. Join us up front in the sanctuary. Share your concerns with others. Join us in a time of prayer. Find strength in the community of faith as together we ask God for wholeness.

Celebrating Dennis Elwell
Sunday, July 30, 2017

For nearly 44 years, Dennis Elwell has led Overbrook Presbyterian Church in its musical praise of God with outstanding music. July 30 is Dennis’ last Sunday playing the organ at Overbrook Church. The Overbrook Choir will sing in this special service. Please encourage your family and friends to join us for our 10:30 a.m. worship service followed by a special reception. You might consider wearing Phillies-related attire in honor of Dennis’ favorite baseball team. You are also invited to contribute toward a financial gift from the church to Dennis. Please make checks out to “Overbrook Presbyterian Church” and write “Gift for Dennis” on the memo line. Checks may be handed to Stewardship Committee Chair Will Schick (he will wear a red Phillies hat during the July refreshments after worship) or mailed to our church office. Thank you for helping Overbrook Church honor Dennis and thank him for many wonderful years of service.
