As we step into this season of stewardship, we do so with deep gratitude for all that we have received, and for all that we are still becoming.

Our theme this year is “Belonging and Becoming.” It is both a statement of who we are and an invitation to grow into who God is calling us to be. As a church community, we belong to one another, to the wider body of Christ, and to the mission of love and justice that God is unfolding in the world. But belonging is not the end of the story. It’s the beginning of a lifelong journey of becoming. Becoming more faithful. More generous. More grounded in grace. More open to where the Spirit leads.

In 2026, we will celebrate 70 years as a congregation. Seventy years of worship and witness, prayer and presence, joy and justice. We are here because of the faith and generosity of those who came before us. And now, it is our turn. It is our time to shape what Southminster becomes in the next season of its life.

Faithful stewardship is one of the ways we live out this calling. When we give, we are not simply keeping the lights on or maintaining a building—we are making ministry possible. We are nurturing children in faith, comforting the grieving, standing in solidarity with the marginalized, creating beautiful worship, deepening discipleship, and proclaiming that every person is a beloved child of God.

Your pledge makes a real difference. It helps us plan responsibly, grow wisely, and dream boldly. It is a tangible expression of your gratitude to God and your investment in a community that is trying to live the gospel with integrity and love.

This October, as you reflect on your financial commitment to Southminster, we invite you to consider what belonging means to you—and what you are becoming because of this place. How has this church shaped your life, your faith, your hope? How might your generosity help someone else experience that same sense of welcome, purpose, and transformation?

Pledge and commitment cards can be placed in the stewardship box in the narthex at any time during October. You can also submit your pledge online at link.spcboise.org/stewardship.

We know that everyone’s circumstances are different, and every gift matters. What we ask is simply this: that you pray, listen, and respond with faith.

Together, we are Belonging and Becoming.

With gratitude,
The Session of Southminster Presbyterian Church
