Southminster has an active group of men who meet twice monthly for lunch and fellowship together. The group orders off each restaurant’s menu and typically pays for their own meals. Questions? Contact the church office for more information.

4th Tuesday of each month at 11:30am — Casa Mexico, Fairview
This month, our Sabbath weekend falls on the same weekend as Boise Pride. To celebrate with our LGBTQIA+ members and friends, our Sabbath Worship service for September will proclaim inclusive love for the world as we celebrate our diversity together.
Join us in the sanctuary at 5:00pm on Saturday evening for an uplifting PRIDE worship. Bonus: since we’ll have no worship on Sunday morning, it’s even easier to join our congregation’s group in the Pride Parade!
Come. Worship. Be Loved.
The four special offerings of the PC(USA) draw Presbyterians from all over the nation and world together for a common purpose and mission. (Did you know: Southminster has long been a “4 for 4” congregation, meaning our congregation participates in all four denominational offerings!) The annual “Season of Peace” is held each September, culminating with the Peace & Global Witness Offering collected on World Communion Sunday, October 2. This offering provides resources for nurturing reconciliation locally and globally. To participate, look for a specially-marked offering envelope on World Communion Sunday.
The summer has been full of rejoicing that COVID is slowing down, but sad to say it is not letting its grip get too loose. So we will stay the course with safety and not have a luncheon at our fall Gathering in September. We will have a program on the 7th at 1:00 pm. Business meeting first and then we will have an overview of the new 2022-2023 study called Celebrating Sabbath, presented by Jackie Benjamin. “Celebrating Sabbath is an invitation to not only study the Sabbath but to explore how Sabbath practices can be life giving for us,” says Rev. Rosalind Banbury. Masks are recommended.
Bring your smiles and a friend to join in celebrating our life of comradeship and communion together. What is a church for but to bring God’s family together to share in His love? You are all very special.
