An open and affirming community, seeking a caring and just society.

“All Kinds of Awesome” Picnic

By

Bring a picnic dinner, a blanket, lawn chairs—whatever helps you feel at home—and join Southminster Presbyterian Church for a celebration of community where all kinds of awesome are welcome and affirmed.

This is a space of joy, connection, and belonging for people of every identity and orientation.

We’ll have music, lawn games, and plenty of room to just be yourself. Got a favorite game? Bring it along and join the fun!  All ages of humans and well-behaved dogs are welcome. Please leave alcoholic beverages at home.

In addition to the congregation, parents/guardians of students will also attend the concert. All are welcome and encouraged to attend this free concert, to offer support and enjoy some great music!

Bread for the World Advocacy Summit

By

Southminster has been working on hunger locally through our support of the Grace Jordan Food Pantry, and nationally/internationally through our partnership with Bread for the World. This year, we’ve learned more about the systemic
problems that worsen hunger through a hunger simulation, and we’ve participated in letter writing to advocate for changes in the national legislature to help hunger.

If you are interested in pursuing advocacy further by participating in Bread For the World’s Advocacy Summit (Washington, DC, June 9-11, 2025) please visit the link below. It is the 50th anniversary of Bread For the World.

There is no deadline to register but the hotel blocks will only be reserved for the next month. Please also let Ann Agnew know if you want to attend (text her or email her). She is hoping to go and potentially share hotel expenses if acceptable.

PWS – May 2025 Updates

By

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.
