If you are interested in “purchasing” a brick, forms are available in the office. The cost is $50 per brick.

ARE YOU WILLING TO RECEIVE OVERBROOK WORLD by E-MAIL?

In an effort to reduce distribution cost of bulk mailing, and to deliver the church newsletter as “fresh” as possible, Session would like to know if some members would be willing to get the newsletter by email or on the church’s website (where each issue would remain for the full month). If you’re willing to receive the newsletter, in a “receiver-friendly” format, easily downloadable with one click or two (so you could print a page to display on your fridge), put your name and email address below and drop it in the offering plate or bring it by the office.
