Sign Up To Participate in Our Anniversary Carnival on November 22
We are making plans for our big 150th Anniversary Carnival on November 22, 2025 and we need your help!
three ways to participate:
Contestants for our Chili Cook Off and Amazing Race!
Hosts for our Game and Activity Booths!
Volunteers for Setup, Breakdown, or Food Teams!
compete in our Chili cook off
When our church was founded in 1875 chili was a staple of frontier life and cooking! Do you have the chops to make the best chili in the west? This year, we will be judging on two categories: regular and vegetarian. Spots are limited, so sign up below to compete for the coveted OSV chili cook-off crown!
compete in our amazing race
This year we kick-off a new tradition for our 150th anniversary party: an Amazing race! Racers will start at OSC and unravel clues that reveal geographic locations throughout Oceanside that are integral to the history of our church. Each location must be visited in-person where you will receive your next clue. The first team back to the church, wins! Teams must consist of a minimum of two people, one of whom must be an adult with a valid drivers license. Spots are limited, so sign up quickly!
host a game or activity booth
Our carnival will feature a variety of games and activities for people of all ages. We need volunteers to operate these booths in 1 hour shifts between noon and 3 pm. The games and activities will be provided to your by the church. All you need to do is show up and have fun with your guests!
join a setup or breakdown team
An event like this requires LOTS of help, so we need you! The setup team will volunteer from 9:30 to 11 am. The breakdown team will get everything cleaned up from 3 pm to 4:30 pm.
join the food team
We’ll be making hot dogs (regular and veggie) on the grill to complement the chili from the cook off contest! And we are expecting lots of hungry people for the carnival so we need volunteers to work the grill, make sure the ice chests are full, and keep the food supplies stocked. This team will be busy between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm.
