On March 1 we have a date with other Christian Women of other churches from the Boise area. Church Women United is a wonderful opportunity to meet and share with other ladies. We are all Christians and need to join together in promoting Christ’s teachings through service to others in need. Church Women United will be meeting that day at Southminster. A brunch will be served then a guest will present an interesting topic. Come and be fulfilled.

Speaking of needs. If you clean out extra clothes, blankets, gloves, etc and hygiene items there is a box in front of the office for donations to the Boise Mission and Interfaith Sanctuary. If you would like to join a Circle of our ladies to read and discuss a study on Luke through Acts, call the office to discover a time that fits your schedule. We have a good time and become closer friends when we join together on the third week of the month.

The next Gathering of all of the circles will be March 6th at 11:00. Th e subject of the program will be “Ministry to the Aged”. Come and be a part of a wonderful group of ladies.
