PWS – May 2025 Updates
We are planning a Women’s Sunday service. It will be held on June 1, 2025. This will be a renewal of our annual “Gifts of Women Sunday”, but had to stop due to Covid. We will be scheduling this annual women’s service on a regular basis going forward. It will include the installation of Presbyterian Women of Southminster’s officers. We have always held our installation during our June gathering each year, but have decided that the congregation should know who our officers are and what they do for PWS, and the church. We hope you will attend this special service.
I will have an update on the Boise Presbytery Presbyterian Women’s spring Gathering, that we hosted on April 26, in the June Messenger. Stay tuned!
Our next PWS gathering will be May 7. Our program will be Nancy Ives, who will be speaking about her travel experiences. We hope to see you there.

Transforming Small Group Book Study – Round 2
The Transforming book study led by Drew Harenberg earlier this year was well received, and they have offered to lead a second round!
A six-week small group book study of Austen Hartke’s fantastic book Transforming: The Bible & The Lives of Transgender Christians will meet on Monday evenings (May 5 through June 16, skipping Memorial Day on May 26) from 6:30 to 8:00pm at Drew’s home.
There is no cost, but each participant should have a copy of the book. To sign up, contact Drew or the church office.
Note: this small group study is specifically designed for growth and exploration by folks of all gender identities. You do not need to be transgender, nonbinary, or otherwise gender-expansive to participate!
