PWS – March 2025 Updates

By

We have set the date for hosting the Boise Presbytery Presbyterian Women’s Spring Gathering. The event will be held on Saturday, April 26 from 9AM-2PM. A short worship service, a business meeting, and a program (speaker to be announced at a later date) will be held in the sanctuary. This will be followed by lunch downstairs in the Cana room. All are welcome to this event. Look for flyers to be posted soon around the church.

Our next SPW monthly gathering will be on March 5. Our program will be our own Priscilla Oja and Sue Olszewski speaking on Banned Books. Come for lunch and see what we’re all about. We’d love to meet you.

Chili & Soup Feed – 3/8 after Worship

It’s that perfect time of year to whip up a batch of homemade soup or chili and show off your amazing culinary skills! That’s right, it’s time for our Chili and Soup Feed, Saturday, March 8th around 6:15pm, following Sabbath Service.

Sign-up sheets have been placed in the Narthex for people to sign up to bring soup, chili, sides, and even desserts. We are also looking for people that are interested in helping with set up and clean up.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to anyone on the Connections Committee: Carla, Juno, Kathryn, or Carol.

Ash Wednesday Worship – 3/5 at 7:00pm

The Lenten journey from the ashes of death to the promise of resurrected life begins on the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday. Join us for worship (in-person and online) on Wednesday March 5 at 7:00pm as we gather for an experiential service of worship, including the imposition of ashes.

Prefer Your Ashes to Go?
This year, Pastor TJ is joining clergy from several other Mainline Protestant denominations in offering “Ashes on the Go” in downtown Boise, at the corner of 8th and Bannock. There will be folks available from 8:00-10:00am, 11:00am- 1:00pm, and 5:00-7:00pm. TJ will be present for the lunchtime shift.

PWS – February 2025 Updates

By

Merry Christmas from SPW! What?! Christmas is over?! So it is. I apologize for missing last month’s messenger. December just got away from me. So, let me catch you up.

At our December gathering we put together plates of cookies for the staff at Grace Jordan and our own staff at Southminster. We also decorated Christmas cards to send to all of our shut-ins. After a nice lunch, we had a few rousing games of Christmas bingo and sang carols around the piano accompanied by our own Evelyn Cates.

In January T.J. came down to install our new vice moderator, Jackie Benjamin. She graciously volunteered to fill the post that has been vacant since last June. Thank you, Jackie!!

Our next big project will be to host the Boise Presbytery PW’s Spring Gathering. Watch for more news about that.

February Sabbath Worship: Exploring AI

By

Don’t be alarmed when you walk into the February Sabbath Service (Saturday 2/8 at 5:00pm) and find there’s no bulletin. This month, Pastor TJ and Father Sean will guide us in an introductory exploration of AI (artificial intelligence) and what it means to do the work of liturgy (a word that literally means “the work of the people”) in an experiential and creative way. You don’t have to be tech-savvy to find something of interest in this creative hour of worship. Let’s come together to wonder, learn, and do the work of the people—faithfully and boldly.
