Christmas Handbell Concert – Dec. 14 2pm

By

Join us for a beloved Southminster Christmas tradition: come hear the Southminster Handbell Choir perform a variety of solo, ensemble, and full choir songs to celebrate the Christmas season. (If you’ve always wanted to ring a bell while singing some carols, this is also your chance!)

Admission is free; a free-will offering will be received in support of our Handbell Choir’s continued growth at the annual Snake River Handbell Conference.

Sean Rogers in Concert – Dec. 12 7pm

By

Looking for a joyful way to kick off the holiday season? Join us for Play it Forward, a special evening of music with internationally acclaimed concert artist Sean Rogers. Sean’s performances have taken him across the U.S. and to eight countries, blending jazz, classical, and Latin influences with extraordinary improvisation. Audiences describe him as “a virtuosic performer who makes music come alive for all ages.”  In addition to his global concert work, Sean has been a devoted church musician throughout the Treasure Valley, and is an Episcopal priest serving in Ontario, OR.

This one-night event benefits Interfaith Sanctuary, supporting vital services for our unhoused neighbors. Admission is free; a free-will offering (cash/check or new/used books) will be received for Interfaith Sanctuary’s new shelter.

Come enjoy an inspiring night of holiday favorites—music that lifts spirits and gives back.

(This concert will also be streamed live on our YouTube channel and at www.spcboise.org/worship)

Hearts & Hands Crafts – Dec. 6 10am

By

Hearts & Hands is a creative, intergenerational gathering where kids and older adults play, craft, and connect—giving parents/guardians a chance for a quiet morning, a breakfast date, or a well-earned break.

The craft is a guided activity… no artistic experience necessary!

Join us! Saturday November 15 from 10:00am-noon. For the month of December, the group will meet in the Narthex.

“And Mary Said” – Adult Ed. in Advent

By

In this Advent season we turn to the first chapter of Luke’s Gospel, to the proclamation Mary made about God’s goodness, power, and glory; and to the masterful way Bach set this text to music, creating the most magnificent choral work of all time.

Join us for adult education in the Sanctuary on November 30, December 7, and December 21 (11:00am, following Coffee Fellowship time) for a review of the Bach Magnificat, Luke’s text, and how Bach brought that text to life.
