Celebrate Easter at Our Saviour’s
Easter is fast approaching and you are invited to celebrate with Our Saviour’s Evangelical Lutheran Church at 1106 Taylor St. In Sunnyside, Wash.
We’ll kick off Easter Sunday, April 20, with a sunrise service at 6:30 a.m. After that, we’ll share together in a breakfast at 8 a.m,, followed by an Easter egg hunt for the children on the church grounds at 9:15 a.m.
OSELC’s Easter service is at 10 a.m., which will include music from our choir. Childcare will be provided.
You are welcome to join us for any or all of the Easter festivities as we celebrate the risen Saviour!
March Goodness
This coming Sunday, 3/30, will be twice as nice as OSELC will not only hold its 10 a.m. service, but later that same day will offer a contemporary worship service at 7 p.m.
As the name suggests, the contemporary service will feature more recent praise and worship music.
In this month of March Madness, you are invited to join us this Sunday for a double-helping of March Goodness!
CROP Walk
Sunnyside’s annual CROP Walk is this Saturday, March 22. Our Saviour’s will again join local churches and non-profits in the walk, which starts at 9 a.m. at Chief Kamiakin Elementary School in Sunnyside. The two-mile walk is a way to raise funds to help address hunger around the world.
One-fourth of all proceeds raised in the Sunnyside walk this Saturday will be used to help food banks here.

Try our Lent survey
Now that we are well into the season of Lent, it’s a good time to reflect on the opportunity it provides for renewal in ways such as prayer and repentance. For many, the 40 days of Lent are also a time of sacrifice, of surrender to God’s call in our lives.
What are you giving up for Lent? If you’d like, take a moment to participate in our very unofficial Lent survey!
