This will provide an opportunity for our church family to get to know one another and support each other besides the quick 15 minutes after services or Sunday School. The Bridge the Gap luncheon schedule is published on the website just prior to each event.

OEPC partners with the Glenside New Life Presbyterian Church Food Cupboard. Food items are collected on the first Sunday of each month. Donations should be placed on the table in the Papermill road Narthex. Canned meat (tuna, ham, chicken, etc.), baby food/formula, peanut butter and boxed goods are appreciated. There is an ongoing special need for crackers and canned fruits. Also appreciated are paper grocery bags. See the Carillon (newsletter) for detailed information about the food cupboard.
OEPC is gathering servants to prepare and serve the meal provided on Tuesday nights at the Glenside New Life church. OEPC plans to provide one meal per month. Most of the meal preparation will be done in your home. We need 6 people to prepare a main dish (recipe will be provided), 4 people to provide salads and 10 people to warm and serve the food. The time commitment for servers is approximately 5:45PM-7:30PM (set-up and clean-up time included). If you would like to serve through this ministry but cannot get to the church at serving time, you can prepare the main dish and deliver it to the church on Sunday (label it for the Glenside New Life Church meal and put it in the refrigerator in the kitchen next to the fellowship hall).
Service Opportunity: Please contact Janice Kulp if you would like to serve through this ministry.
