Upcoming Events

Summer Parking
Starting August 6, 2019

Most of the Lancaster Avenue parking lot will be closed during the stormwater abatement construction in August (click here to learn more about the project). You'll need to use the City Avenue entrance to the parking lot.

Please do not let this prevent you from coming to church. We still will be worshiping.

You are urged to carpool with others from your neighborhood--see the sign up board in the Wistar Morris room--or park at the Overbrook train station and ride shuttle cars to the church, or just walk across the bridge. You can also park on nearby streets. You must leave extra time for parking: don't forget to leave home earlier than usual!

If you are able to drive one of the shuttle cars either before or after church, please sign up here or let Rachel Carnahan know.

The Farmers Market will also be running as normal from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday mornings, so be sure to stop by for farm-fresh produce.

Summer Pickup Handbell Choir
August 21-25, 2019

This opportunity is for new and experienced ringers alike; it involves a few days of rehearsals, then ringing during the service. Here is the schedule:

Whether you’ve played bells for years or you’ve never rung a note in your life, this event is for you, and we can all look forward to a great handbell experience. Please join us to celebrate music this summer.

Red Cross Blood Drive
Friday, September 6, 2019

Save the date for Overbrook’s Red Cross Blood Drive! You can sign up online or during coffee hour.

Taste of Overbrook Dinner
Saturday, October 19, 2019

Save the date! The OPC community will gather once again to to share special dishes from around the world and participate in the auction to raise money for the church programming. Please consider volunteering to help.

Your Stewardship Committee is asking for donations of items for this year’s Taste of Overbrook auction. This is our premier fundraising effort in the fall. We raised over $7000 last year and have set a goal to raise $8,000 this year. If you have a talent that you can contribute — gardening, sewing, pottery, cooking — we would love to auction off your talent. As well, if your employer, neighbor, or business that you frequent would like to contribute, we’d gladly accept donations. Particularly fun to have in the auction would be a weekend “down the shore” or up in the Poconos at some kind benefactor’s vacation home. Know anybody who would donate? Please contact Laurie Geers with donations.
