Friends of Silver Lake CT

Friends of Silver Lake CT An independent non-profit established for those who love Silver Lake and care about its future. We welcome your participation! Please join here. Thanks, Friends!

Friends of Silver Lake is a non-profit organization uniting the dispersed community that values Silver Lake and working toward a vision of future ministry in line with its historic mission. We are a self-organized group formed in November 2025, in response to the announcement that SNEUCC Board Votes to Wind Down Programming at Silver Lake. SNEUCC has articulated that they “don’t yet know what the

future will hold, and (they) are committed to exploring faithful possibilities…” Friends of Silver Lake is convening alumni and supporters to explore such faithful possibilities together. Our first focus is knowing and growing the base that comprises the Silver Lake community. You can help immediately by sharing this invitation with many people and organizations as possible, inviting them to sign on. Friends of Silver Lake will offer opportunities to gather, heal, brainstorm, and take action together. Stay tuned for an announcement very soon.

Rev. Dr. Davida Foy Crabtree has an exciting announcement for us!

Friends of Silver Lake is thrilled to announce that an anonymous donor has stepped forward with a $400,000 pledge to FOSL, contingent upon FOSL reaching an agreement to purchase Silver Lake from the Southern New England Conference of the United Church of Christ.

When asked why they made this gift and why now, the donor shared that they understand how important early gifts are in inspiring others to step forward. They hope their gift will encourage others to do the same.

Representatives of the FOSL Board are in ongoing dialogue with representatives of SNEUCC about a potential pathway for purchase, while the Conference continues to keep the door open to other potential buyers. This extraordinary pledge is a powerful vote of confidence in Silver Lake’s future and strengthens our ability to move forward.

Your gift or pledge can help make Silver Lake’s next chapter possible. Every gift and pledge matter. https://www.friendsofsilverlake.com/donate/

Friends of Silver Lake is eager to have our members engaged in our mission in every way possible. On Sunday, August 9th, almost 40 of us gathered for an Idea Jam at First Church in Middletown. It was energizing to be together, and all the more so as dozens of ideas for future program emerged.
