An open and affirming community, seeking a caring and just society.
The Season of Lent is an opportunity to look within ourselves as we reflect on our need for reflection, change, and spiritual growth. Like any journey we might take, the Lenten journey is one that requires preparation and work.
This Lent, we’ll begin a new six-week sermon series, entitled “Boot Camp for the Soul.” Together, we will prepare for the difficult, but necessary work of discipleship as we seek earnestly toward the Way of Christ in our lives.
The Lenten journey from the ashes of death to the promise of resurrected life begins on the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday. Join us for worship (in-person and online) on Wednesday February 22 at 7:00pm as we gather to worship and to receive the imposition of ashes.
The February Gathering on the 1st will start at 11:00am in the Cana room. The program guest will be Phillip Thompson, talking about Black History in Idaho and Boise. The Dedication of Cents-ability (2 cents for Hunger) will be collected. The rotation of preparation is the following: SET UP — Naomi, FOOD — Ruth and Rachel, CLEAN UP — Mary/Martha.
In March Sean Rogers will be our guest speaker. We all enjoy being together and sharing, so come, be a part of God’s love for us. Be kind. Call someone. Have a great month. Happy Valentines Day!

It’s been several years since we have had our chili cookoff event. This year we will try a version of that by having a potluck of chili or other soups, salads, and Valentine desserts after Sabbath worship on Saturday, Feb 11, at 6 pm.
We plan to do this in the downstairs fellowship hall, so it will take more help than our usual coffee times upstairs. Please join us for this fun social time and sign up for either food donations or setting and cleaning up.
We hope for several people to bring their favorite chili or other soup variations to share, as well as salads or crudites to complete the main course. Desserts focused on Valentine theme are welcome to spread the love! Check the narthex
for sign-up sheets. Thank you for your help!
Brewed For Thought is back! You’re invited to attend the next “Brewed for Thought” gathering on Sunday January 22 at 6:00pm at Casa Mexico (10332 W Fairview Ave). The group will gather for dinner, drinks, and conversation around a theological or ethical topic. For more information or to RSVP, please contact Steve Bancroft or be in touch with the church office.
