An open and affirming community, seeking a caring and just society.
Join us for a beloved Southminster Christmas tradition: come hear the Southminster Handbell Choir perform a variety of solo, ensemble, and full choir songs to celebrate the Christmas season. (If you’ve always wanted to ring a bell while singing some carols, this is also your chance!)
Admission is free; a free-will offering will be received in support of our Handbell Choir’s continued growth at the annual Snake River Handbell Conference.
In this Advent season we turn to the first chapter of Luke’s Gospel, to the proclamation Mary made about God’s goodness, power, and glory; and to the masterful way Bach set this text to music, creating the most magnificent choral work of all time.
Join us for adult education in the Sanctuary on November 30, December 7, and December 21 (11:00am, following Coffee Fellowship time) for a review of the Bach Magnificat, Luke’s text, and how Bach brought that text to life.
Our Spiritual Formation Committee is once again providing a daily Advent Devotional to assist you in preparing your hearts and minds for Christmas. This year’s booklet is entitled “Draw Near” published by the Presbyterian Outlook. Devotions will be sent via email with our worship bulletins during Advent. Printed booklets will be available in the Narthex for those who prefer a hard copy, or contact the church office for Alix to send one by mail.
The Adult Education study for October and November is “What Does the Lord Require?” led by Shana Woodbury, our Commissioned Ruling Elder. This study based on Micah 6:8 will explore the meaning of acting justly, loving mercy, and
walking humbly with God. Participants will delve into the context of the verse, its implication for daily life, and how it connects to broader biblical themes. Participants can expect time for group discussion and brainstorming of practical applications.
Adult Ed. meets on Sundays following worship at 11:00am.
Gathering weekly on Tuesdays from 7:00-8:30pm at Red Rock Christian Church now through November 18, five Boise Bench congregations are studying Margie Baker’s book God, Gospel, and Gender. Open to most any age, this study offers something of worth for everyone, whether you’re encountering the ideas for the first time or continuing a lifelong journey of learning. A copy
of the book may be helpful, but not required. Snacks included!
Co-led by the clergy of All Saints Episcopal Church, Red Rock Christian Church, Redeemer Lutheran Church, Southminster Presbyterian Church, and Whitney United Methodist Church.
This study will gather from September 30 through November 18. Participants will be invited to join the wider worshiping community in a Trans Day of Remembrance worship service on November 20.
