Photo Directory

cartoon camera  

Church council is putting together a photo directory/roster of our membership. We hope this will help us get to know each other better and become closer as a church family.  

 

We will be taking snapshots of everyone after regular services on each Sunday in June. If you have vacation plans, please be sure to attend at least one Sunday in June and be sure you have your photo taken. Photos will be made as individuals - so please don't worry if your entire family can't be together at one session. We will assemble the family associations in post-production. It will be a quick and easy process!  Thanks!

Rummage Sale Success

  

Many thanks to Pamela Merry, who led and organized a very successful rummage sale this year! She and her great team, including Adriana Olivas and Carole Williamson, worked tirelessly to make this fundraiser fantastic. Thanks also to the many volunteers who helped sort, sell and clean.

 

Message from Pamela:

 

Christian life consists of faith and charity. -Martin Luther

 

Organizing the rummage sale fundraiser for our church and school brought in needed revenue. It also served to richen our community as members worked together to support a common goal!

 

Please remember that fundraising brings people together to fulfill a common cause. A successful fundraising effort creates fellowship among our church and school members!

 

I was overwhelmed, but with superstar volunteers - we did it! SOV appreciates you all. I am so thankful for my cohorts in action and that all of you took the time to hunt under your bed for "hidden treasures."

 

Vacation Bible School

July 14-18

 

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.

 

LRCC Camps 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. 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!
