Boise Pride – September 18-20

September 1, 2026 By SPC

The Boise Pride Festival is back at Ann Morrison Park September 18–20, and Southminster will be there in full force — with a booth at the festival and our beloved puppet float in Sunday’s parade.

Our Booth
Find us Saturday 9/19 from 11:00am–6:00pm and Sunday 9/20 from 10:30am–5:00pm. We’ll be handing out free stickers and flags, and inviting visitors to write or draw on our white sheets. It’s a simple, joyful way to tell our LGBTQIA neighbors: you are beloved children of God, and this church means it when we say all are welcome.

We need hands for setup, booth staffing throughout the weekend, and takedown Sunday evening.

The Parade
The parade steps off Sunday, September 20, at 10 am — and our puppet float has become a crowd favorite two years running. We need people to help assemble and decorate the float, walkers to join the procession, and (this is the big one) a truck and a driver willing to pull the float.

How to Help
Sign-up sheets are in the narthex, or reach out to Abby W. or Judy E. directly. Let’s show Boise what it looks like when a church means its welcome!

IMPORTANT: Worship Schedule in September
For this month only, our monthly Sabbath worship service takes place on the third Saturday of the month (Sat. 9/19 at 5:00pm). Here’s the worship schedule for September:
• Sept 6 at 9:30am — Worship
• Sept 13 at 9:30am — Worship (not sabbath weekend)
• Sept 19 at 5:00pm — Sabbath Worship (note: special date)
• Sept 27 at 9:30am — Worship
Thanks for helping us stay flexible and faithful… and for showing up with joy whenever we gather!

Adult Education – Begins September 13

August 31, 2026 By SPC

So often, our beliefs as faithful Christians do not line up with the shouted chants and disturbing actions taken by those claiming to represent a true vision of Christianity. Starting September 13, join us Sunday mornings at 11am in the Jean Moore Lounge for an eight-week class on Being Presbyterian in an Exvangelical America by Ted V. Foote Jr. and P. Alex Thornburg. Our Commissioned Ruling Elder, Shana Woodbury, will lead the discussion, which runs through November 22 (excluding monthly Sabbath Weekends). Ten copies of the book are available for use, and while they’re helpful, they’re not required.

  • 09/13: The Bible is Authoritative, Not Literal
  • 09/27: Faith and Salvation Are Gifts, Not Transactions
  • 10/04: Discipleship Is a Lifelong Conversion, Not a Rulebook
  • 10/18: Shaped for Community, Not for Individuality
  • 10/25: The Future is Hopeful, Not Something to Fear
  • 11/01: God’s Truth is Evolving, Not Stagnant
  • 11/08: Presbyterians Are Reformed, and Always Reforming
  • 11/22: Democracy (Not Authoritarianism) Is the Presbyterian Way/Grace is Our Way

New this fall: we’ll be hosting this class in a hybrid format, so if you worship online, you’re welcome to join us for the discussion via Zoom. Contact the church office for the Zoom link.
