COLLEGE STUDENTS NEED YOUR HELP – Do you care about what’s going on with Presbyterian
students at OSU? A new coalition of six Presbyterian churches in our area
is trying to fill the current void of ministry for our OSU students. We
are currently looking for a second representative from Overbrook to volunteer
with the Presbyterian Campus Ministry Coalition. Volunteering entails
attending monthly Coalition meetings, and helping schedule continued
programming of campus ministry. There are no age or alumni
qualifications. We simply need someone
who cares about OSU students and wants to encourage their faith development
through the college years. If you’re interested or would like more
information, please contact Pastor Ludwig.
AMERICAN RED CROSS BLOOD BUS comes to Overbrook parking lot, Monday, May 3 from

kitchen

served before class begins. Sign-up

WE
GATHER
CONVERSATION TIME AFTER WORSHIP – Join us
in the Chapel if you’d
like to talk more about anything from the worship service. This week you may
want to consider:
·
“In Reformed theology, atheism is not the
problem. Idolatry is. The Reformed faith has argued, with Calvin,
following Augustine, that every person knows God.” writes Jack Rogers (Presbyterian
Creeds). Do you think Thomas knows
God? If so, what do you think Thomas knows of God?
·
John’s gospel shows Jesus dealing with a
disciple’s doubt. How would you like
Jesus or others to deal with your doubt, if you have doubt?
·
Jesus said to Thomas, “…. Do not doubt but believe.”
In me it’s not doubt or believe,
but doubt and believe—like the
tides, always in motion, ebb and flow depending on “signs.” How do doubt and believe work or play in
you?
NEW BEGINNINGS, a group for all singles, meets today, in
the South Parlor for potluck lunch immediately following worship.
OVERBROOK’S MEN’S SOFTBALL TEAM opens defense of their 3-peat church
league championship on Monday, April 19 at 6:15 p.m. at Whetstone Diamond #2.
Come out and see us go for 4. We thank Knapp Veterinary Hospital for helping
sponsor our team.
YOUNG ADULT CAMP OUT – Saturday, May 15, at the John Beltz Retreat. Tents, campfires,
s’mores, corn-hole and fun times; what more could you ask for? Get the word out to your young adults and
young at heart. Contact Pastor Ludwig if interested.
SAVE THE DATE!! At its February meeting, Session received
Jon Siehl’s letter of resignation from active ministry effective May 31,
2010. To celebrate his many years of
service to Christ and to Overbrook’s ministry and mission, Personnel and
Session are planning a luncheon in his honor to be held following worship on
May 23, 2010. It will be our opportunity to formally say thank you to Jon and
Judy and we hope you will be able to attend.

display of children’s art, hands-on art activities, sing-a-longs, and
children’s entertainment. In addition
