An open and affirming community, seeking a caring and just society.
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.
Hearts & Hands is a creative, intergenerational gathering where kids and older adults play, craft, and connect—giving parents/guardians a chance for a quiet morning, a breakfast date, or a well-earned break.
The craft is a guided activity… no artistic experience necessary!
Join us! Saturday November 15 from 10:00am-Noon in Cana Room.
Y’all come for our Holy Hoedown—Saturday, November 9! We’ll gather for Sabbath Worship at 5:00pm (with a hoedown theme!), then head straight into a church-wide dinner, dancing, and games at 6:00pm.
The meal will be provided, and everyone’s invited to bring a dessert to share. Want a ride to and from church that night? Contact the church office.
Whether you’re a seasoned two-stepper or a first-time line dancer, there’s a place for you on the floor. God has brought us into a beloved community, and this hoedown is a fun way to celebrate that good and gracious gift.
All ages welcome. Casual attire. Friends and neighbors encouraged!
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.
Get ready for some spooktacular fun! Join us for our annual Trunk-or-Treat on October 25th from 6-8 PM in the church parking lot. It’s going to be a night full of creative trunks, candy galore, and lots of laughter!
We can’t wait to see you there—costumes encouraged, fun guaranteed!
(This year, several congregations of the Boise Bench have banded together for a “Trunk or Treat Crawl.” Southminster is the final stop of the tour.)
Attention, Members & Friends of Southminster:
Want to join the fun by decorating your trunk? Sign-ups are available in the Narthex, or you can email the church office to get on the list. Not feeling trunk-y but still want to contribute? Candy donations are NEEDED and WELCOME—whether you’re decorating a trunk or just want to help fill the candy bowls!
All leftover candy will be donated to the teachers at Grace Jordan Elementary for their prize boxes. Let’s make this a sweet night for everyone!
