We have set the date for hosting the Boise Presbytery Presbyterian Women’s Spring Gathering. The event will be held on Saturday, April 26 from 9AM-2PM. A short worship service, a business meeting, and a program (speaker to be announced at a later date) will be held in the sanctuary. This will be followed by lunch downstairs in the Cana room. All are welcome to this event. Look for flyers to be posted soon around the church.

Our next SPW monthly gathering will be on March 5. Our program will be our own Priscilla Oja and Sue Olszewski speaking on Banned Books. Come for lunch and see what we’re all about. We’d love to meet you.

Merry Christmas from SPW! What?! Christmas is over?! So it is. I apologize for missing last month’s messenger. December just got away from me. So, let me catch you up.

At our December gathering we put together plates of cookies for the staff at Grace Jordan and our own staff at Southminster. We also decorated Christmas cards to send to all of our shut-ins. After a nice lunch, we had a few rousing games of Christmas bingo and sang carols around the piano accompanied by our own Evelyn Cates.

In January T.J. came down to install our new vice moderator, Jackie Benjamin. She graciously volunteered to fill the post that has been vacant since last June. Thank you, Jackie!!

Our next big project will be to host the Boise Presbytery PW’s Spring Gathering. Watch for more news about that.

We had a great turnout for our first PWS Gathering of the year on September 4th. We en- joyed a luncheon of a variety of fresh salads and a plethora of fellowship.

Our next Gathering will be on October 2nd at 11A with a program by Giraffe Laugh, a local non-profit that provides early childhood education to Treasure Valley children. Join us if you can. We’d love to meet you.

Please check the posted flyers throughout the church for a list of items needed for our annual holiday bazaar at the end of the month, and don’t forget to come and shop!
