Congregational Life
The purpose of the Congregational Life Committee (CLC) is to develop a sense of community among the OPC community by planning, executing and/or provide support for church-wide events that in general are related to hospitality. The work of CLC must be done in an inclusive, flexible manner allowing all church members and friends to give input, participate and contribute.
An example of the activities in which the CLC is involved: Coffee Hour, Christmas Eve Dinner, College and 12th Grade Students Luncheon, Game Nights, Gingerbread House Decorating on Christmas Eve, Narberth Community Theater Concessions, OPC Talks and Walks, Oral History Project, All-Church Photo Directory, Prayer Breakfasts, Retired Person’s Café and Vesper Simple Suppers.
For more information about CLC, to give input and/or feedback, to find out how to get involved in one of the activities listed above or suggest another activity, please contact either of the Co-Chairpersons, Raelyn Harman or Artia Benjamin.
Fellowship Hour
Every Sunday, worship is followed by a time of sharing food and conversation in the Wistar Morris Room. Hosted each week by volunteers from the congregation, it provides a great chance to connect with each other. Overbrook serves fair-trade coffee from Equal Exchange.

Activities
Throughout the year, we offer a number of different opportunities for fun and fellowship. These include our annual picnic in June with music and activities for kids, our annual Chinese New Year’s Banquet, a monthly women's book group, and periodic potluck dinners and movie nights.
Community
In addition to fostering community within the church, Overbrook is also a gathering place for the wider community. We host our neighborhood association, a variety of community groups, and a wonderful farmers' market on Saturday mornings from May to November. Overbrook also serves as the home of Overbrook Preschool & Kindergarten.
