Gifts of Women Sunday – June 7

By

On June 7 at 9:30am, we gather for a worship service that has become one of the highlights of our year. Deanna W. will preach, Shana Woodbury will preside at the Table, and women will lead throughout — as liturgists, as musicians, as the voices that call us to prayer and send us into the week. We will also celebrate the installation of incoming Presbyterian Women of Southminster officers, commissioning them for the year ahead.

Come ready to give thanks — for the women who have shaped this congregation, and for those who continue to lead it forward.

Grace Jordan Pantry – Summer Break

By

With school out for the summer, we have taken a brief hiatus on our efforts for the Grace Jordan Food Pantry. In August, we will resume collecting food staples, toiletries, and cleaning supplies so the pantry can be fully stocked in preparation for the new school year. Until then, we will gladly accept financial contributions to help us get a jump start on the fall.
