They will be with us the weekend of July 15 – 16. A variety of events will be planned so that we can meet them and learn about their work.
Vacation Bible School Sunday, July 30 through Thursday, August 3, 2017 5:30-7:30 PM: This year VBS has a mission theme: “Clean Water for All God’s Children!” Daily Bible stories — all based on a water theme — will include the creation story, Jesus’ baptism, Jesus talking with the Samaritan woman at the well, and more. Children will learn that water is a good gift from God, that we are called to be good stewards of water, and that water is a gift to be shared. Registration forms are available online here or in the church office.
OPC Youth Mission Trip August 6-12, 2017: Thirteen of our youth and their adult leaders will serve for a week in Philadelphia with The Center for Student Missions (CSM). Participants will serve in various mission projects throughout the city.

Adult Education

Christian education is not just for children and youth. It is a lifelong process of growing in faith. At Overbrook, we offer a number of different opportunities for adults to explore the Christian faith in depth, and to work out the meaning of our faith in today’s world.

Adult Forum

Adult Forum meets in the Chapel from 9:15 to 10:15 am each Sunday morning during the school year, and provides a forum for study and lively discussion of the Bible, theology, ethics, and contemporary issues.

Bible Study

A weekly Bible Study group meets each Wednesday morning in McMillan Chapel, from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm. Usually led by one of the Pastors, this study sometimes explores the lectionary texts for the upcoming Sunday, and sometimes focuses on a particular book of the Bible or biblical theme. It offers a discussion-based format where all people can contribute and learn from each other.

Other Opportunities

Occasionally, other programs and events are offered for adults. These include lectures, retreats, workshops, book clubs, film discussions, museum tours, and short-term study groups. Check our Upcoming Events to the left.
