Foreword
“Do Good to all”
Beloved Sunday School teachers, parents and my dear children,
We are going to enjoy the wonderful days of OVBS 2017. Orthodox Vacation Bible School is
the most awaiting time of Sunday School children each year as it is the time of worship,
prayer, learning, singing, sharing, games, love feast etc. which helps in upbringing the spiritual
happiness in our church.
This year, we have a wonderful theme for our OVBS “Do Good to all” (1 Thessalonians 5:15).
“Goodness” is the nature of God. As a Christian our ultimate goal is to become like God, in
other words, to be a witness of our Lord in front of others. We can achieve this goal by doing
good things to all without any discrimination. OVBS 2017 theme will help us to learn more
about this and I am praying for the same.
Our OSSAE-UK team is working hard under the leadership of our Diocesan Metropolitan HG
Dr. Mathews Mar Thimothios for the success of OVBS 2017. I take this opportunity to thank
you all, especially our Diocesan Metropolitan, all Vicars, OSSAE UK Director, Secretary,
Treasurer, OVBS Co-ordinator, District Inspectors, Head Teachers, Teachers, Volunteers and
Parents, for your dedication, hard work and support to OSSAE-UK and OVBS 2017. Special
thanks to the team behind the song and theme books. Your every effort to support and nurture
our children in Christ will be rewarded by Our Lord.
In our song book, as previous years, we have included official songs provided by OSSAE and
few English songs to make it more lively for our children. Each units have the freedom to
choose number of songs from the song book based on their OVBS duration, however, first
three songs are mandatory to be taught in all units.
I request vicars and head teachers to conduct OVBS 2017 with a minimum of two days
duration concluding with Holy Qurbana and OVBS rally.
I hope OVBS 2017 will be a big success.
Prayers and wishes for a blessed OVBS 2017.
Yours in Christ
Anoop Abraham Achan
(Vice President OSSAE –UK)

Opening Prayer
Almighty and triune God, we thank you and praise you for this wonderful
morning. O’ Lord Prepare us to learn your words and wisdom. Bless our
parents, teachers, brothers and sisters. You have been the greatest
happiness above all in this world for us. Bless us to live every day
embracing your love by loving each other. In the name of the Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit, one true God. Glory and Praise be to HIM and
may His Grace be upon us, now and for evermore. Amen.
Closing Prayer
O Lord we thank you for all the mercies that you have showered upon us.
We thank you for preparing us to spend this day in a thoughtful way.
Enable us to not only listen to the holy scriptures but also to put them in

(1) Jesus hear my prayer, in this valley of tears, let me be like a burning
candle, and dissolve in you
(2) When I was fallen in my sin, in the path full of shadow and moonlight,
you came as a good Samaritan, and nursed my wounds, still I forgot that
love, where could I hide, forgetting you, my saviour.
(3) I denied you many times with a hardened heart, for that you bore a
crown and was silent on the cross, I bow before you, I pour out my soul,
and long for your mercy,
(4) Have mercy on me, before I finish my earthly journey, I have nothing to
offer, but with a grateful mind, God, I offer myself before you.
