What’s Happening at Our Saviour’s

  • Something new, and then more next Spring!

    The original flower bed, a raised affair a couple of decades old, had begun to decline a little and as a part of a larger mission to provide fresh produce for our food pantry, it was decided that the first phase of “the Big Garden Project” would be replacing the standing flower bed. It is…

  • National Night Out!

    We were pleased to partner with our friends over at West Side of Upper Terry (Mayhew-Swan area Residences) (gotta maybe work on that name?) to host one of the many National Night Out celebrations in Sunnyside. While we had to postpone for a week due to the fires and the smoke, we were blessed with…

  • It’s about humanity, not just food

    We went downtown and sought out the housing and food insecure folks again this week and we had a really great showing. We ran out of the terrific egg/sausage/potato/pepper scramble we put together this morning in only one hour. We hadn’t seen some of these folks before, and we hadn’t seen as many of them…

  • Well, THAT was a storm! (and a small miracle)

    We have long had the proud stand of trees lining the border of the property here at our Saviour’s Lutheran Church. The came the thunderstorm this past week. I was right next door and didn’t hear a thing, but this is what happened! The miraculous bit is that it didn’t touch those power lines you…

  • The Pantry continues to grow!

    I showed up, I can’t remember what for, and there was Bob, constructing some shelves. They probably won’t get everything off of the floor, (we have cases of some things), but it’ll help!

  • Cookie Night with our Neighbors

    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…

  • A wonderful gift to our pantry effort

    In our attempts to be as Christ to our neighbors, we’ve been on a journey to see how we can help our neighbors when they are hungry, when they are cold, when their lives change in an instant and they don’t know where to turn. We’re not alone in this effort, of course. One of…

  • Just another Friday at Our Saviour’s

    We had this remnant from a different time standing in the yard just behind the church. It was a standing water pipe that was never really used. There it is, just there between Bob and John. We started to get a slow rise in the water bill and this was the suspect. The church gentlemen,…

  • Yet another Successful Garage Sale!

    Once again, after a LOT of donations . . . . . . we gathered out in the parking lot for our annual exercise in cleaning out other people’s garages! People came out at a steady pace and at the end, not much was left, and that was donated. Many thanks to Tammie, Terri, Paul,…

  • Our Local Theater Troupe

    Each fall, the Over The Hill Theatricals rehearse a new production. Our Saviour’s provides the initial space as the actors learn their lines, the sets are designed and built, and the costumes are assembled. This year, they will be performing “45 Minutes from Broadway,” an adaptation of George M Cohan’s “Give my Regards to Broadway.”…
