Complete your service hours for the year

The Big Day is near, but do not fear!

You still have time to VOLUNTEER.

From there to here and here to there,

Rummage stuff is everywhere.

We need your help to sort and sell,

So we can help our school do well!

Oh Me! Oh My! Oh Me! Oh My!

I almost forgot another reason why!

Graduation is coming up VERY soon,

For the end of our school year will be in June.

So, have you earned your service credits yet?

It's OK, it's OK, you have not to fret,

For Pamela Merry knows lots you can do,

You can help! You can help! It's so very true

You still have time, lots needs to be done.

LRCC Summer Camp on Campus

June 23-27

TK through sixth grade

Counselors from LRCC's various camps are coming to SOV for a week to share the POWER of God's dynamic love and grace. POWER is an inherent characteristic of God, seen around and within our world. From God creating, through Christ's resurrecting, to the Holy Spirits dwelling in our lives, POWER is the active foundation for an abundant life. In Prayer, Others, Word, Equipping, and Responding, we will "become servants of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given to us through the working of God's power."

-Ephesians 3:7

Take a look at other programs on our summer calendar and register now! Remember you only need to pay $30 to hold your spot. All of our programs are open to the community so please spread the word!

Vacation Bible School

July 14-18

Preschool to sixth grade

God filled the world with a lot of crazy creatures...including our kids! When kids feel weird, different, or even lost in a crowd-nothing compares to the extraordinary love of Jesus.

Sign up now for a week of loving instruction and fun. Cost is $50/child, $40/each additional, $35/child if parent volunteers full time.

Spring in the Garden

Stop by the garden to see how beautifully it's blooming! Don't forget to check out the pizza garden, full of edible plants and veggies.

Please follow us on Facebook! Don't miss out on important reminders and cute photos of our kids on campus and field trips!

If you already follow us, please continue to "like" or comment on the posts - this gives us greater visibility online and in our community!
