Southminster at Boise Pride (Sept 6-7)

By

Join us in celebrating love, community, and joy as Southminster takes part in this year’s Pride Festival and Parade! We’ll be showing up with color, creativity, and a whole lot of welcome—and you’re invited to be part of it.

Who: All of us!
What: Hosting a booth at the Pride Festival, and marching in the parade (with a float featuring our puppet team!)
When: September 6 (11am to 9pm) and September 7 (11am-5pm). Booth setup at 7am on Saturday. The parade will be on Sunday morning; since the 6th is Sabbath, plan to come to march or ride in the parade with Southminster during regular church time.
Where: Ann Morrison Park
Why: Because we love God and love people, and we want to show God’s love to all in our community.

Don’t forget, our Sabbath Worship Service (Saturday September 6 at 5:00pm) will be a celebration of Pride!

NOTE: Worship Schedule in September

By

Mark your calendars now! For September only, our monthly Sabbath worship service will take place on the first Saturday of the month (September 6 at 5:00pm) to avoid conflicting with the Boise Pride Parade on Sunday morning.

Here’s the worship schedule for September:

Sept 6 at 5:00pm — Sabbath Worship (special date)
Sept 14 at 9:30am — Worship (not sabbath weekend)
Sept 21 at 9:30am — Worship
Sept 28 at 9:30am — Worship


Thanks for helping us stay flexible and faithful… and for showing up with joy whenever we gather!

Grief Support Group – Begins Sept 8

By

Grief can feel isolating, but you are not alone. This fall, members Roger Hiles and Cheryle Andrews will lead a small group for those navigating loss. The group begins Monday, September 8 at 11:30am and will meet in Room #5 (upstairs).

Participants will use a guided book and journal—$26 total, with scholarships available if needed. The group is limited to 12 participants; contact the church office to sign up.

This is a gentle and supportive space for processing grief with others who understand.

Grace Jordan Food Pantry Donations

By

Grace Jordan Elementary School will open for a new school year in mid-August and in preparation for this we are once again collecting food along with monetary donations! You’re invited to grab one of the “greatest needs” shopping lists (located in the Narthex near the shopping cart) and pick up a few things for our neighbors during your next grocery shopping trip.

As an added spiritual practice, consider saying a silent prayer of gratitude for the ready availability of items on the shelves, and for the families who will receive them.

“How Not to Be Afraid” – Book Study Part 2

By

Even if you missed the first session in June, there’s still time to join our gentle, reflective book discussion based on How Not to Be Afraid by Gareth Higgins. Pastor TJ is leading this two part series as bookends to a summer of independent “soulwork.”

Our final session is coming up soon: Wednesday, August 13 at 1:00pm in the Jean Moore Lounge on the upper level. Join us in person or on Zoom at link.spcboise.org/study

Between gatherings, participants are invited to engage with a companion handout of weekly reflections inspired by the book’s themes. A few extra copies of the handout are available in the narthex. This conversation is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and courage for uncertain times. Reach out to Pastor TJ if you’d like help getting a copy of the book or want to learn more.
