INTERESTED IN BECOMING PRESBYTERIAN OR JOINING OVERBROOK? The Membership Committee is conducting an inquirer’s class beginning September 21 from 9:15 – 10:15 a.m. for 4 weeks in the Library.

FRIENDS OF OVERBROOK LIBRARY gather next Sunday, September 14 to review their progress and finalize plans towards an improved library. Please plan to join us in the library between 11:45 and 12:15 for this important update!

KNOW THY NEIGHBOR. Do you recognize everyone sitting around you in church? Do you remember their names? The Membership Committee is designating September as “Wear your Nametag Month”. The Committee is encouraging everyone to wear their nametag during the month of September and hopefully to keep wearing them thereafter. You may exchange your nametag that has a pin clasp for one with a clip. Clip-on tags will be available at the nametag board. You are encouraged to get creative with your nametag, if you desire, by adding color, logos, borders, decorations. A member of the membership committee will be available before and after the service at the nametag board to assist you with finding and replacing your name tag.

CHRISTIANITY’S FAMILY TREE – Ever wondered what theological ideas set Pentecostal, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox or Baptist beliefs apart from those of Presbyterians? How do the LDS compare to other forms of Christianity? Please join us One Sunday a month this year to learn about how the other branches of American Christianity compare to Reformed (Presbyterian) thought. Beginning September 21 we’ll meet with Deb Bowsher right after worship on the third Sunday of the month to compare and contrast these traditions. We’ll look at Anglican beliefs this month! Our text, Christianity’s Family Tree, can be bought at the church office for $10 but is NOT required.

CELEBRATION GARDEN BRICKS. We are putting together an order to have bricks engraved for the Celebration Garden. Now is the time to order your brick to celebrate a special event in your life – new child, graduation, birthday, or just to celebrate and honor the life of someone special. Memorial bricks are also available to honor the memory of a family member or friend who has passed away. The cost is still $50 for each brick. Order forms are available in the office.

NEWS FROM A PRESBYTERY SPECIAL MEETING. A special meeting was called on July 8 by The Presbytery of Scioto Valley. One purpose was to examine Collin Adams for ordination to ministry of Word and Sacrament and to approve the call of the Columbus Westminster Church to him as pastor. Collin’s Statement of Faith can be found on the bulletin board in the Narthex. Collin is a dynamic and personable young man who will be an asset to his church and the faith here in Central Ohio. He comes from the Presbytery of Northeast GA.
