Contemplative Dinner

Join us as we explore Musica Divina, or the practice of listening to music as prayer. We'll spend time with the minimalist sounds of Arvo Pärt on vinyl. This is a somatic practice—an invitation to receive music through your body rather than your mind. Lie down, close your eyes, and let the music pray through you. Bring a yoga mat or towel for the full embodied experience, or simply listen from your seat. A meal from Nana's Kitchen follows. Childcare will offered by Deja. Click here to RSVP.

Overbrook Presbyterian Church is Certified as a PC(USA) Earth Care Congregation
Overbrook Presbyterian Church was certified as an Earth Care Congregation by Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s Presbyterian Hunger Program through February 2021. This honor speaks to the great commitment that (Name) Presbyterian Church has made to care for God’s earth.
To become an Earth Care Congregation, this congregation affirmed an Earth Care Pledge to integrate environmental practices and thinking into their worship, education, facilities, and outreach.
The Earth Care Congregation certification is designed to recognize churches that make the commitment to take seriously God’s charge to “till and keep” the garden.
Started in 2010 by the PC(USA), the goal of this program is to inspire churches to care for God’s earth in a holistic way, through integrating earth care into all aspects of their church life. The Earth Care Congregation certification honors churches that make that commitment and encourages others to follow their example.
“It is exciting that Overbrook Presbyterian Church is one of the 264 churches that chose to dedicate themselves to intentional care of God’s earth this year. In a time of much uncertainty and worry about the future, this congregation’s activities and commitment brings hope to their community. Overbrook Presbyterian Church will inspire others to respond intentionally to God’s call to care for the earth,” says Jessica Maudlin, Associate for Sustainable Living and Earth Care Concerns for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
