*AFFIRMATION OF OUR HOPE AND INTENT
Gathered by God as
Overbrook Presbyterian Church,
We respond to
God’s mighty acts
in the teaching, life,death and resurrection of Jesus
by
nurturing a culture of personal and corporate responsibility
in
believing, belonging, leading and serving.
To this vision we will:
Express faith and interpret God’s word
in inspirational worship,
drawing from
various forms of music, the arts and the spoken word;
Become a center of support for all our
members and neighbors—
rich and
poor, children, youthful adults, seniors,
traditional
and non-traditional families;
Welcome
neighbors
by developing a relationship with our
community
as a center of information and education about such
matters as Christianity and religion,
tolerance, justice, families, relationships, health, aging and other timely
issues.
Expand our
mission and service,
which is the heart of the church,
by growing our current good work
while sowing seeds of new ideas.
* THE PEACE
The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Peace be with you.

peace)
