The United States plays a critical role in global nutrition and health aid — especially for the world’s most vulnerable. Our faith calls us to nothing less. Join us at Southminster on Saturday, October 31st, 10:00–11:30am, as we host policy experts from Bread for the World, RESULTS, and the ONE Campaign for a conversation on why international aid matters and what we can do about it.

The event is free, but registration is required. Click here for more information and to sign up to attend.

The Boise Pride Festival is back at Ann Morrison Park September 18–20, and Southminster will be there in full force — with a booth at the festival and our beloved puppet float in Sunday’s parade.

Our Booth
Find us Saturday 9/19 from 11:00am–6:00pm and Sunday 9/20 from 10:30am–5:00pm. We’ll be handing out free stickers and flags, and inviting visitors to write or draw on our white sheets. It’s a simple, joyful way to tell our LGBTQIA neighbors: you are beloved children of God, and this church means it when we say all are welcome.

We need hands for setup, booth staffing throughout the weekend, and takedown Sunday evening.

The Parade
The parade steps off Sunday, September 20, at 10 am — and our puppet float has become a crowd favorite two years running. We need people to help assemble and decorate the float, walkers to join the procession, and (this is the big one) a truck and a driver willing to pull the float.

How to Help
Sign-up sheets are in the narthex, or reach out to Abby W. or Judy E. directly. Let’s show Boise what it looks like when a church means its welcome!
