We’ve started a partnership with some neighbors, who gave their own time in 2025 to plan and host some community gatherings as a part of the National Night Out celebration last August. They started in the nearby Upland Park, but realized that they would like to have some more facilities, especially bathrooms, if they were going to be gathering a bunch of kids together, let alone parents.

They approached us and asked if we would allow them to use our church facilities, (the building and the property) for some future gatherings. We replied that we would much prefer partnering with them, combining our strengths, to bring the community together up here on the hill in Sunnyside.

To that end, they hosted a Valentine’s Day card making and cookie decorating party up at Our Saviour’s this past Wednesday with some special guests from the Sunnyside Police Department.

We’re grateful to our neighbors Catti Alvarez-Vilanueva and Jessica Caballero for planing and arranging our first gathering of 2026. We are looking forward to getting together many more times in the coming months, and working together to make our community stronger, safer, and more fun to live in.
