WE GIVE

 

LET’S GO KROGERING! Every little bit counts! Do you ever shop at Kroger? If so, you can sign up to help Overbrook earn monetary contributions.  Overbrook is now part of the Kroger Community Rewards Program, earning contributions from the Kroger Company based on the amount of money our participating members spend when using their Kroger Plus Card.  This program does not affect your Kroger Plus Reward Points in any way, so it is harmless to you but could be very helpful to the Church.  You can sign up to participate on the internet at http:// www.krogercommunityrewards.com. You must have a Kroger Plus Shoppers card to register and participate so get yours out and sign up to participate now. If you do not have access to the online sign-up method, please call 1-800-837-4483 to learn about the alternative sign-up method.  We will soon have a link on the Church web site, www.overbrookchurch.org, just click on the “SUPPORT OVERBROOK THROUGH THE KROGER COMMUNITY REWARDS PROGRAM and see how we can earnlink on the home page. Thank you for your support and cooperation.  Michael Johnson, Stewardship Chair.

 

CONVERSATION TIME AFTER WORSHIP will not meet today due to the congregational meeting and lunch following worship.

 

MISSION TRIP TO KENTUCKY- This year's youth mission trip will be the week of June 13-19. We'll be traveling to the town of Hazard, KY and working on house repair or construction with the local Housing Development Alliance.  Bob (Bo) Glaeser and Michael (Luke) Ludwig (who will now be referred to as the "Dukes of Hazard") will be in charge of the youth.  However, we're also opening this mission trip to adults, so if you are interested in being part of God's mission to the "102nd poorest county in the nation," please contact one of the "Dukes."
