An open and affirming community, seeking a caring and just society.
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.
Since 2001, the Presbyterian Women of Southminster have held an annual backpack and supply drive for local elementary schools and the Boise/Ada County Housing Agencies. Through the years, the reach of this mission has grown from 50 backpacks to now over 500 backpacks annually!
Want to help?
Presbyterian Women will be gathering at the church on August 2 and 3 from 9:00am-12:00pm to organize, tag, fill, and prepare backpacks for distribution. You are welcome to join.
This year, with prices skyrocketing, expenses are expected to exceed the funds available from grants and Bazaar proceeds, so the team is also in need of additional financial support. Checks made payable to “PWS Backpack Program” can be submitted to the office, in the offering plate during worship, or given directly to PWS Treasurer Priscilla Oja.
Thank you again for supporting this important mission project!
