But in order for it to be a completely “OSYM” event, we need some “OSYM” volunteers! It’s gonna be totally AWESOME! Let Kai know if you are interested in helping out or have questions about how you can help out!
(For those of you adults who would prefer to have an Adult Gathering during VBS, we will have an adult class led by both Pastors at the same time)
