Walk to End Alzheimers's

Saturday, October 11th - Silverdale Waterfront

For the third year in a row, we represent Silverdale Lutheran Church at the Kitsap Alzheimer's Walk. We honor those in our congregation who are living with Alzheimer's, those who are supporting people with the disease, and those we have lost.



HOW CAN YOU HELP?

1. Join the Team! Register for the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's - Kitsap Peninsula
2. DONATE - sign up to donate for a specific person or the SLC team!

The next session of PB's Foundations class will start on October 15th. Assuming Wednesdays work for those wanting to join the class, we will meet you on Wednesdays from 6:00-7:30pm.

If you are interested in joining SLC, this class would be required (unless you are transferring from another ELCA congregation), or the class is a great way to brush up on your faith too if you are already a member!

Please complete the form or email the Office Staff if you are interested in participating.

Come out to Blu Berry Frozen Yogurt on October 14th from 5–8pm for a delicious way to give back. Boy Scout Troop 1541 from Silverdale Lutheran Church is hosting a takeover fundraiser—just grab a cup of your favorite froyo and a portion of the proceeds will help fund their adventures in service, leadership, and outdoor skills. Bring your friends, your sweet tooth, and your community spirit!

We are taught to listen to the voices of the powerful, and our ears are tuned to turn to the voices of the loud. Has there ever been so much shouting on the radio, the TV, even the grocery store? This week we are invited to tune in to the small and unexpected voices that lead us to see true power and presence in our world, the voice of God. We'll explore two healing stories that tell us a lot about God and about our relationship to the holy and to one another. See you Sunday! 

October Tune of the Month

The song's meaning emphasizes that in the face of suffering and uncertainty, Jesus provides a powerful rescue and rest, reminding listeners of God's overwhelming love and ability to carry their worries.

The accompanying music video illustrates this meaning by depicting characters in vulnerable moments of loss and hardship who are ultimately lifted by God's metaphorical "shoulders."

While it may not have a chorale texture, the hope is that singing it each Sunday with our variety of musicians will give you an appreciation for this great song, and that you can sing it well.

Dear SLC Members and Friends,

Over the past ten years, I’ve had the joy of leading trips with Faith Based Expeditions to Israel, Greece, Rome, and Germany. For our next adventure, there’s strong interest in a tour of Scotland and Ireland, and I’m hopeful we can make it happen next summer!

Due to currency exchange rates and the extended itinerary (three days longer than past trips), the cost is higher than usual. A document outlining pricing and inclusions is below. (Scotland/Ireland Cost & Overview)

Before finalizing plans, I need to gauge interest. We’ll need at least 20 participants to move forward. If you’re still interested despite the increased cost, please let me know using the link below. This is not a registration or financial commitment—just a way to see if we have enough travelers.

Thank you for your continued enthusiasm for these faith-filled journeys and the fellowship they inspire. In Christ, Pastor Bill

From Russ Goodman – CEO of FBE: The prices in other countries such as Israel, Greece, and Turkey is always in US dollars. The currency as in Scotland, is in Pound Sterling and Euro in Ireland. As of this morning, the below chart shows that it takes $1.35 US dollar for each Pound Sterling and it takes $1.17 US dollar for each Euro. The US dollar simply does not go as far in these two countries as it does in other countries we travel to. This is why the cost in these two countries is simply more expensive than the other noted countries we travel to. The currency rate in each of these countries changes every day. It is very difficult what the rate will be by the time the final payment for the tour is charged. 

The capstone of our celebration of the new organ at SLC is coming up. In the years following the installation of the instrument, I hosted regular concerts. The two concerts in November are the big finale (although we will still have more concerts). The organ will be celebrated by well over 100 musicians from the Bremerton West Sound Symphony and Chorale. The room will be packed and filled with perhaps the most glorious music that has ever graced these rafters, the Symphony no. 3 in C minor by Camille Saint-Saëns. When the organ at Notre Dame was restored and dedicated last year, what piece of music was the only thing that could properly celebrate it? Saint-Saëns 3! This is a gigantic opportunity for me as an organist and a huge honor for the church. I will be playing a fabulous solo organ encore as well.
