Silver Lake Update - December 18, 2020

Family Retreats

Summer 2021

Early registration opened on Dec. 15 to families that donated and/or rolled their 2020 payment to 2021. We have 40 campers registered already!

General registration opens January 15!

The Silver Lake staff is working on putting together some talking points for conference staff and church leaders to have the tools to talk with their church families about what to expect and look forward to for summer 2021.

For now, Ryan has put together an introduction video that was sent to all SNE churches and pastors. Watch the video here.

12 Days of Christmas At Home

Over sixty 12 Days of Christmas At Home Silver Lake Boxes were brought to the Post Office this week! 

Like our innovative Silver Lake At Home summer program box, the 12 Days of Christmas Box has 12 days of activities, including crafts, baking, opportunities to get outside, and a chance to explore God, yourself, your neighbor, and creation at home with your family!

Find additional information and view the activity videos (once they're posted on the first day of Christmas) here.

Wrap-Up

The Virtual Retirement Celebration for Stephanie was a great success! Thank you to all who planned, attended, and donated.

There is still time to give to the 2020 Silver Lake Annual Appeal. Contributions to The Fund for Silver Lake help support our operational costs and enable us to continue to bring life-changing experiences to our community! Give today.

As we near the end of the year, and we take some time to reflect on all the new ways we were able to innovate (dare I say, pivot) this year, view some of Silver Lake's highlights from this past year.
