We are bringing everyone together for

one unified worship service @ 9:30am

on September 13th!

Get ready for an incredible Engage Sunday on September 13th as we pack all the energy, worship, and fun into one colossal celebration! Let's fill the sanctuary, celebrate our community, and kick off the morning together with a wonderful worship service. We'll set up chairs so we can all fit!

The Great Feast (Food and Potluck)

After the service, the festivities begin at 11:00am with a delicious lunch!

• Main Dish: Mouth-watering pulled pork sandwiches
• Kids' Menu: Classic hot dogs
• Your Part: Bring a favorite side dish to share for our community potluck! (Bring your dishes to Fellowship Hall before our 9:30am service.)

After-Service Fun

Stay around for an action-packed afternoon featuring:

• For the Kids: An awesome bounce house to burn off some energy.
• Live Beats: PJ the DJ spinning tracks to keep the energy high.
• A Few Ministry Stations: Explore exciting information about SLC's ministries.

Let's pull together after an amazing summer and launch into

a fantastic new program year this Fall!

Pentecost 15 | September 6th

This Sunday we move into chapter 18 of Matthew. In this chapter is the only place where Jesus explicitly refers to “the church.” Jesus’ instruction of how to handle conflict in the church has always been good counsel but also helps us to know that Jesus anticipated that his group of sinners made saints, would encounter problems. This Sunday we will once again stand in awe of God’s mercy in Christ and ask for the Holy Spirit to help us extend that same mercy to our brothers and sisters.

Readings:

Psalm 119:31-41

Romans 13:8-14

Matthew 18:15-22

First Sunday of the Month!

We will collect donations of non-perishable food items for the Central Kitsap Food Bank on Sunday, September 6th.

Thank you, David Soine, for preparing our gutters for the Fall season!

If anyone is good at patching and painting walls, the classroom hallway could also use a little bit of sprucing up before Sunday School starts.

There are three spaces now available in the Pre-K PM Class at Silverdale Lutheran Preschool.

If you are interested in registering your student, please reach out to our Preschool Director, Teresa, at slp@silverdalelutheran.org.

Ever wish you could do "Confirmation" over again? Or maybe you didn't grow up Lutheran and feel like you missed out on the experience? You are not alone! Pastor Bill has heard your requests, and this fall, he is taking us back to school—in the best way possible.  

Our Fall Sunday morning class will feature a deep dive into Luther’s Small Catechism, the tried and true little book used for centuries as the basis for Confirmation.  Whether you want a refresher or are learning it for the very first time, this class is for you. Can’t come to the mid-week Foundations classes this fall? Participating in all these classes will work for the instruction needed to become a mission partner (member) at SLC. 

Why the Catechism? 

When Martin Luther toured Germany in 1529, he realized many Christians knew very little about the Bible or core convictions of Christianity. He wrote the Small Catechism as a simple, powerful tool to change that. If last year's classes felt a bit too heavy, don't worry! This year, we are focusing on the core essentials in a way that is assessable to all!  

Stay tuned for kick off information for a new Sunday education opportunity for young adults and families!

We are thrilled to welcome everyone back for another school year of programming! The safety and welfare of all youth in our care is top priority.

Please contact Jessica Voigt (jvoigt@silverdalelutheran.org) with any questions.

We previously had one volunteer who faithfully cared for the sanctuary after each worship service. After she stepped down, we moved to a sign‑up system with a team of volunteers. Participation has been low, and the sanctuary isn’t consistently being cared for. Our office staff can’t add this to their already full workload, so…

We need a longtime volunteer to assist with caring for our Sanctuary one day a week.

Tasks include:

• Recycling extra Bulletins and Beacons found in pews
• Checking Attendance books, refilling, and bringing completed sheets to office
• Restocking tissue packs and pencils
• Removing any trash left in seats

It typically takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to care for the Sanctuary. Some volunteers have even popped in to do it right after Hearty Meals! 

Interested? Contact slc@silverdalelutheran.org and admin@silverdalelutheran.org or visit the office.

SLC will once again be putting together a team for the Walk to End Alzheimer's to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's care, support, and research.

This year's walk will be held at the Silverdale Waterfront on Saturday, October 10th. Use the link below to join our team. If you cannot join us for the walk but would like to donate, you can also do so at the link below.
