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. We thank everyone for their support last year and we hope to be able to be just as generous this school year!
PWS Updates – August 2026
The Holiday Bazaar is Coming! We know it is Summer and Fall seems far away, but we wanted to let you know ASAP. Please consider what you could make and donate for the sale. While it’s hot outside, you can stay cool inside and work on some Fall and Christmas bazaar items! If possible please price your items. This will help us tremendously at set-up. Thank you in advance!
Note that the next planning meeting is rescheduled to Wednesday August 19 at 10:00am. Meanwhile, mark your calendar and plan to join us October 23 and 24 for the Bazaar. More details will be in the September and October newsletters. If you have questions, Mary and Phyllis are bazaar coordinators or ask anyone in PWS.
All Church Retreat – August 7-9
Registration for Southminster’s annual All Church Retreat at Camp Sawtooth begins this month. The low cost of $30 per person (with a $70 maximum per family) will cover five meals, plus two nights lodging at the camp.
Scholarships are available if needed and can be confidentially requested by contacting Pastor TJ. To register, look for the forms in the Narthex/lobby or visit link.spcboise.org/sawtooth to sign up online. Make payment by a check made out to SPC with “All Church Retreat” in the memo line.
Summer Sermon Series in Worship
You probably know the stories. You learned them with felt boards and flannel graphs and maybe a catchy song or two. But Sunday school had to leave some parts out! This summer in worship, we’ll be going back for a closer look at the stranger details, the harder questions, and the endings that don’t resolve the way we remembered. Join us as we take a look at what Sunday School didn’t teach.
- July 11 – The Story of Creation (Genesis 1-3)
- July 19 – Noah (Genesis 6-7; 9)
- July 26 – David & Goliath (1 Samuel 17)
- August 2 – The Syrophoenician Woman (Mark 7:24-30)
- August 8 – Jonah (Jonah 3:10-4:11)
- August 16 – The Laborers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16)
- August 23 – Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)

Classic Cars & BBQ Potluck – July 11
All are welcome to join us in The Grove (our grassy area just off the parking lot) after the Saturday July 11 Sabbath Worship Service for a BBQ/Pot Luck and Car Show. Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Potato Salad will be provided by the Men’s Lunch Group. Bring your favorite side dish or dessert to share with your church family.
If you have a Classic Car and would like to share your special car with your church friends, please contact Greg P. or Steve C. that you’re going to show your special car.
