An open and affirming community, seeking a caring and just society.
Pastor TJ will be hosting a “Discover Southminster” gathering on Monday September 29 at 7:00pm in the narthex. Those who have been visiting Southminster or who are thinking about joining our membership will find this to be a great opportunity to explore our questions and callings together. To attend, please RSVP to Pastor TJ, or contact the church office.
All are invited to the SAGES Lunch & Learn gathering on Thursday September 18. Lunch will be at 11:30am, with a suggested donation of $10. Following lunch, the group will enjoy a presentation by Jodi Peterson-Stigers of Interfaith Sanctuary. (Contact Roger Brown or the Church Office to RSVP so there’s enough for everyone to eat)
Join us in celebrating love, community, and joy as Southminster takes part in this year’s Pride Festival and Parade! We’ll be showing up with color, creativity, and a whole lot of welcome—and you’re invited to be part of it.
Who: All of us!
What: Hosting a booth at the Pride Festival, and marching in the parade (with a float featuring our puppet team!)
When: September 6 (11am to 9pm) and September 7 (11am-5pm). Booth setup at 7am on Saturday. The parade will be on Sunday morning; since the 6th is Sabbath, plan to come to march or ride in the parade with Southminster during regular church time.
Where: Ann Morrison Park
Why: Because we love God and love people, and we want to show God’s love to all in our community.
Don’t forget, our Sabbath Worship Service (Saturday September 6 at 5:00pm) will be a celebration of Pride!
Mark your calendars now! For September only, our monthly Sabbath worship service will take place on the first Saturday of the month (September 6 at 5:00pm) to avoid conflicting with the Boise Pride Parade on Sunday morning.
Here’s the worship schedule for September:
Sept 6 at 5:00pm — Sabbath Worship (special date)
Sept 14 at 9:30am — Worship (not sabbath weekend)
Sept 21 at 9:30am — Worship
Sept 28 at 9:30am — Worship
Thanks for helping us stay flexible and faithful… and for showing up with joy whenever we gather!
Grief can feel isolating, but you are not alone. This fall, members Roger Hiles and Cheryle Andrews will lead a small group for those navigating loss. The group begins Monday, September 8 at 11:30am and will meet in Room #5 (upstairs).
Participants will use a guided book and journal—$26 total, with scholarships available if needed. The group is limited to 12 participants; contact the church office to sign up.
This is a gentle and supportive space for processing grief with others who understand.
