Call Sandy's cell phone at 515-332-5677 or email sl_eastlone@hotmail.com to become a prayer warrior.

BIBLE SCHOOL GOING ON’S

OSL Vacation Bible School

Your OSL Education Board invites you to join them for an ALL AGES Vacation Bible School on

Monday, July 30; Tuesday, July 31; and Wednesday, August 1.

This year’s format is a little different from years past. We encourage ALL AGES to participate: singles, couples & families!

& please come 1 night, 2 nights or all 3 nights . . whatever works for your schedule.

Each evening will be a casual format all taking place in the OSL Fellowship Hall: * Evening meal starting @ 5:30 pm with the main dish provided by your education board. & we will be reaching out for others to bring side dishes / assist with the meal. * Following the meal we will have bible verse reading / open discussion. * Then a FUN activity will be planned for all to participate in. * And then concluding each evening (weather permitting) will be a campfire and songs! (ending approximately @ 7:30 pm ) This is open to ALL OSL Members of ALL AGES & to the public! We are hoping this will be a “family” outing and so ask that ALL children under the age of 8 be accompanied by a parent / adult. There is no registration fee! There is no registration! Please contact any education board member with any questions you may have. We look forward to learning, sharing, and reconnecting with each of you. Yours in Christ, OSL Education Board Members: Allyson Hansen, Cara Hauser, Chrissy Matthews, Jennifer Skow, Letitia Dominick & Michelle McKenna

PS We will be giving a temple talk about VBS @ each Sunday service in July with details as well!
