Pastor TJ will be hosting a “Discover Southminster” gathering on Monday September 29 at 7:00pm in the narthex. Those who have been visiting Southminster or who are thinking about joining our membership will find this to be a great opportunity to explore our questions and callings together. To attend, please RSVP to Pastor TJ, or contact the church office.
Our Adult Education gatherings resume in September — every Sunday morning at 11:00am following coffee fellowship time. (There is no Adult Education on our monthly Sabbath Weekends, as those Sundays are a day of rest).
*Sept 14-21 – Singing our Faith 2.0
Back by popular demand, our own Stacy Piontek will lead us in an understanding of the songs of our faith.
*Sept 28 – Sing 4 Joy
*Oct 5-Nov23 – Micah 6:8 What Does the Lord Require?
Participants will delve into the context of the verse, its implication for daily life, and how it connects to broader biblical themes. Participants can expect time for group discussion and brain- storming of practical applications, as well as time to reflect on how we each can live out God’s directive of joining Him in loving deeply and ensuring justice in our world
I hope everyone has been enjoying this fabulous summer! Now the kids are back in school and it’s time to begin planning our PWS year.
We’re beginning by organizing our fall Fundraiser. It will be called Hopefully Yours Flea. It will be a flea market in the parking lot of the church. We are also tentatively planning a mini bazaar/bakery sale along with a soup and sandwich lunch down in the Cana room. It is scheduled for September 20 and we hope you all will come out and join us. We may need additional volunteers to help us put this event together. More on that as our plans progress. It should be fun!
Our PWS Gatherings will begin again on September 3rd and our first program will be with TJ as he introduces us to this year’s bible study, which is: Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ. We are looking forward to it and are hoping many will join us to start out our new year.

All are invited to the SAGES Lunch & Learn gathering on Thursday September 18. Lunch will be at 11:30am, with a suggested donation of $10.

Through Rediscovered Books’ “Read Freely Project,” Pastor TJ has been awarded 10 copies of the graphic novel Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day by Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett. This engaging and accessible book offers a rich look at the history of transgender people across cultures and centuries.
Now, we need 10 members of the congregation to receive a copy of the book, read it, and pass it along to someone else in their life. The Read Freely Project aims to help stories and history that have too often been erased find their way into more hands and hearts.
Ready to participate? Contact TJ. Copies are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
