Borders & Belonging Book Study

By

This winter, Southminster is joining with our ecumenical friends in Boise for a shared book study on Borders & Belonging: The Book of Ruth—A Story for Our Times by Pádraig Ó Tuama and Glenn Jordan. Together, we’ll explore the ancient story of Ruth as a lens for reflection on forced migration, faithfulness, and what it means to belong in a world shaped by borders.

The group will meet on Tuesday evenings from 7:00–8:30pm from January 13 – February 17 at Redeemer Lutheran Church (2920 W. Cassia Street, Boise). The clergy of the sponsoring congregations will take turns facilitating discussion. Books are encouraged, and all are welcome—whether you come with deep familiarity with Scripture or simply a desire for thoughtful conversation across traditions.

Christmas Eve Worship – Dec. 24 7pm

Come celebrate Christmas Eve with us as we gather for carols, candlelight, and the hopeful story of Christ’s birth. Whether you’re a longtime churchgoer, returning after some time away, or simply curious, you are warmly invited to come as you are. Bring your questions, your hopes, and your loved ones as we make room for wonder together.

Worship begins at 7:00pm on Christmas Eve. Our church nursery will be staffed and available to receive children (birth through kindergarten) but all ages are warmly welcomed in worship at Southminster (really!).

Longest Night Worship – Dec 21 7pm

By

For many of us, Christmas can be a bittersweet time of year, where joy and gratitude mixes with grief and loss. On this Winter Solstice—the night of longest darkness in our hemisphere—we’ll gather with some of our ecumenical friends on the Boise Bench for a quiet meditative worship service that makes time for remembering, sharing our hurting places with God, and preparing our hearts for the coming of Christ.

This service will be at Whitney United Methodist Church (3315 W Overland Rd), with participation from All Saints Episcopal, Immanuel Lutheran, Redeemer Lutheran, Red Rock Christian Church, Whitney UMC, and Southminster.

Christmas Handbell Concert – Dec. 14 2pm

By

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.

Sean Rogers in Concert – Dec. 12 7pm

By

Looking for a joyful way to kick off the holiday season? Join us for Play it Forward, a special evening of music with internationally acclaimed concert artist Sean Rogers. Sean’s performances have taken him across the U.S. and to eight countries, blending jazz, classical, and Latin influences with extraordinary improvisation. Audiences describe him as “a virtuosic performer who makes music come alive for all ages.”  In addition to his global concert work, Sean has been a devoted church musician throughout the Treasure Valley, and is an Episcopal priest serving in Ontario, OR.

This one-night event benefits Interfaith Sanctuary, supporting vital services for our unhoused neighbors. Admission is free; a free-will offering (cash/check or new/used books) will be received for Interfaith Sanctuary’s new shelter.

Come enjoy an inspiring night of holiday favorites—music that lifts spirits and gives back.
