Upcoming Events

Back to School Backpacks Collection
Sunday, July 14 - August 4, 2019

We are collecting school supplies for theVillage. Children in foster care start behind their peers and we want them to be ready for the start of the school year. We have the backpacks and we need your help to fill them. Pick up a backpack during coffee hour and a list of school supplies to go in it. If you prefer, we will also take your cash donations and we will do the shopping for you. Look for the table during coffee hour starting Sunday, July 14 through August 4.

Summer Parking
Starting July 22, 2019

Most of the Lancaster Avenue parking lot will be closed during the Storm Water Abatement construction in July. 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 let Rachel Carnahan know.

Summer Pickup Choir

Summer Pickup Choir will sing in worship. No prior rehearsal or experience necessary — just come to the sanctuary at 9:30 AM. We will learn some easy but excellent music to sing during the service. You might remember the success of this event last year; let’s make it even better this time around!
