SLC BEACON

Hey Families, we hope you enjoyed God's

G.I.F.T. this week. We are celebrating with

you THIS SUNDAY.

Stay after Park and Praise worship….. We'll have a

free ice cream coupon for DQ for you during

worship and sing a song or two from this week.

A great BIG THANK YOU to all the volunteers who turned out to pack GIFTs for VBS.

We prepared bags for 61 kids to enjoy our virtual experience this year. All bags have been distributed. It was wonderful to practice social distancing and “God’s Work, Our Hands” at the same time. Dawn Rittenbach

Dear Silverdale Lutheran Church, There aren't enough words to thank you all for the amazing send-off over the past few weeks. I will miss you all so much and treasure your kind words and sentiment. I will also treasure the generous gift of Logos software and funds to purchase some clergy clothing. Again, your generosity is boundless. I will carry you all in my heart and in my prayers.

"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. - Philippians 1:3-8. Peace Marietta

Vases!

If you have any vases larger than the bud sized vases

that you are wishing to thin out, we'd love to have

them! Please bring to Sunday Drive-in church or

drop them off on Monday Mornings before 10:00

am, just leave at the front door & put

MaryLou's name on them! Thank you in advance!

New Group for Cancer Patients, Survivors

We are exploring the possibility of a new small group

for those experiencing cancer or who have survived

cancer. This would begin as a relatively informal

group, especially as we continue to physically

distance, to support each other through email, phone

calls or notes. If you are interested in this group,

please contact Pastor Bill at

pastorbill@silverdalelutheran.org

Many thanks for deploying the Brigade to bring lots of Joy into our lives. Pastor Paula, Darcy and Jessica, along with daughters Mila and Kinslee were indeed messengers of heavenly Joy.

The Lambs provided flowers and the "sign language" was encouraging. Although the cookies were not baked, they were very good. As for extra inspiration, Mila favored with us "Jesus Loves Me" and Kinslee prayed for us and the world. Again, thanks and God Bless.

Don and Elaine Jukam

Leon and Norma Thomas want to wish SLC many blessings and thanks as

they have now made the Phoenix area their permanent home.

Previously they lived in Silverdale during the summer and in Arizona during

the winter and spring months. They miss SLC very much but now can

continue to worship with us via our online worship services. “The warm

weather is a lot better on our joints” Leon said as he spoke with Pastor Bill.

We bid them a farewell and God’s speed and celebrate that we will always be

connected to them in the body of Christ. They want to thank their many

friends at SLC for all their support and care over the years.

Their address in Arizona is: 6640 S. Coral Gable Dr. Chandler, Az 85249 in

case you want to send them a card.
