Upcoming Events

VOA Dakotas Center Thanksgiving Meal

(Formerly Bowden Youth center)

Friday, November 16 from 5-7PM

Each year our OSL Youth Ministry has been serving a delicious Thanksgiving meal to the youth and families of the VOA Dakotas Youth Center. This year’s meal has moved to First Lutheran Church, and we are seeking youth and families who would like to help from 4:30 – 7:30 PM. It is a great opportunity to serve the youth and families of our community and a lot of fun. Sign up below or email John for more information.

This year's Advent Fair is November 28th from 5:30pm-7:00pm. This event features fun activities for all ages including Lefse making, cookie decorating, ornament making, and more.

Join us Sunday, Dec 16 from 5-7pm for our first annual Middle School Christmas Games and White Elephant Gift Exchange. We will begin at 5pm with a meal and then move on to fun Christmas Games in the gym. Later we will exchange our gifts.

How the gift exchange works: Each youth is asked to bring a wrapped gift. Please don’t spend more than $10 on this gift as we value creativity over monetary value. After we eat dessert, we will draw numbers and begin to select gifts. Those with later numbers will have the option of opening a new gift or stealing a gift someone else has already selected. If your gift is taken, you will have the option of opening a new gift or stealing someone else’s gift (except the one that was just taken).

Coming in 2019

We have some great Middle School Events headed your way in 2019

Glow Games , Jan 13 from 5-7pm - Middle School students, we will have dinner at the youth room at 5pm and then head to the OSL gym at 5:30pm where we will turn out the lights for a night of crazy, fun glow in the dark games.

Middle School Lock-In , Feb 8 from 8pm to 7am - We had 37 middle school youth having an amazing time at our first all night lock in back in the fall. Join us as we take it up a notch for our second lock where we are expecting over 50 youth to battle it out in our Hunger and Thirst Games.

MS Okoboji Recharge, April 5-7 - If you missed our November Recharge or are ready to go back for round two this is the event for you.

4-6th Grade Okoboji Recharge , April 26-28 - Recharge isn't just for Middle Schoolers. 4-6th-grade students are invited to join us for all the same great fun the middle school youth have at camp in a bit more relaxed atmosphere geared toward upper elementary youth or 6th graders the prefer less craziness.

See the WINTER NEWSLETTER later this month for more information and how to sign up for these 2019 events.
