Deacons' Ministry

Overbrook has a Board of Deacons, consisting of fifteen men and women who are ordained and called to a special ministry of care and compassion. They maintain a prayer list so that we are aware of one another’s joys and concerns. They visit sick, hospitalized, and homebound members. They offer support and care to people and families in times of transition. They provide or coordinate transportation to those who need a ride to church or a doctor's appointment. They ensure meals are provided for those who are sick or bereaved. They create opportunities to build community and fellowship. They are sometimes able to provide financial assistance to those going through times of crisis or hardship. To contact the deacons, call the Church Office or e-mail the Moderator of the Board of Deacons.
