MLK Day at Overbrook
Monday, January 21, 2019
9:00 to 11:30 AM
With "We are all one humanity" as our 2019 theme, the focus of OPC's Martin Luther King Jr. Day will be to serve the broader community...in a spirit of unity, respect and compassion. Activity stations set-up throughout the church will include: Cooking for shut-ins, assembling breakfast bags for the elderly; making baby blankets for teen parents; expressing gratitude (designing thank you cards for military personnel stationed abroad and for Philadelphia first responders); creating the Memorial to the Lost (tee shirt memorial to those who lost their lives in 2018 through the use of illegal guns); assembling care kits for women and children in safe shelters; packing breakfast bags for the elderly; respecting OPC (a work project designed to "refresh/restore" our church building).
Overbrook is a registered Philadelphia MLK Day of Service site, and all are welcome to participate. There will be service opportunities for all ages. We request that preschool and elementary students be accompanied by an adult.
To sign-up to serve, please sign up online or sign-up in the Wistar Morris Room following worship.

The Care at the Crossroads MobilePack will be at Bonner & Prendie High School. It’s not too early to mark your calendar and consider setting aside a jar to collect quarters until then. Remember 1 meal
costs just 22 cents, so each quarter you set aside = life-saving nourishment for a child. Thank you in advance for your prayers, support, and generosity. Stay tuned for more updates!
