Contemplative Dinner
Tuesday, April 14
5:45 to 7:30 PM
Wistar Morris Room
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.

Whether you are new or have walked this path before, come as you are, and together, let's discover the power of caring for ourselves and others.

Music

Since the days of the Old Testament, music has been central to the worship of God. Overbrook has long been known for its excellent music program. Drawing on the talents of both professional and amateur musicians, the goal of our music ministry is to enable everyone to join in the joyful song of God’s praise.

At Overbrook, we love traditional hymns and anthems, but also work to incorporate a diversity of styles as well as music from other cultures and traditions. In all our music, our souls are inspired and uplifted.

Choirs

At Overbrook Presbyterian Church, we offer a variety of opportunities for music-making. To learn more about our choirs, click here.

Organ

Note: Unfortunately, our organ was completely destroyed by fire in January 2024. We are rebuilding and look forward to sharing our new organ once it's completed.

Overbrook’s music program is greatly enriched by a magnificent 78-rank Möller pipe organ. First built in 1939, and dedicated by the renowned organist Virgil Fox, it has been carefully maintained and expanded over the years. Today, the music from its 3,777 pipes fills our Sanctuary with a rich and glorious sound that helps us to praise God in majesty. Learn more about the organ here.
