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!

You are warmly invited to join us as we worship together this Holy Week.

Palm “Sunday” (Saturday April 12) — This year, the start of Holy Week falls on the 2nd Saturday of the month. Join us for Sabbath Weekend, as we celebrate Palm “Sunday.” We’ll take the next morning as a day of Sabbath rest, with no worship or other church activities.

Maundy Thursday (Thursday April 17) — Worship at Southminster at 7:00pm, with Rev. Dr. Andrew Kukla preaching. Our friends from FPC Boise will be partnering with us for this service.

Good Friday (Friday April 18) — Worship at First Presbyterian Church of Boise at 7:00pm, with Rev. TJ Remaley preaching. We are partnering with our friends at FPC Boise for this service.

Easter Vigil (Saturday April 19) — You are invited to join a number of Boise Bench congregations for an Ecumenical Easter Vigil service at All Saints Episcopal Church, at 6:30pm. The Sacrament of Holy Communion will be a part of this worship gathering.

Easter Sunday (Sunday April 20) — Easter morning worship service at 9:30am!

The Lenten journey from the ashes of death to the promise of resurrected life begins on the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday. Join us for worship (in-person and online) on Wednesday March 5 at 7:00pm as we gather for an experiential service of worship, including the imposition of ashes.

Prefer Your Ashes to Go?
This year, Pastor TJ is joining clergy from several other Mainline Protestant denominations in offering “Ashes on the Go” in downtown Boise, at the corner of 8th and Bannock. There will be folks available from 8:00-10:00am, 11:00am- 1:00pm, and 5:00-7:00pm. TJ will be present for the lunchtime shift.

Don’t be alarmed when you walk into the February Sabbath Service (Saturday 2/8 at 5:00pm) and find there’s no bulletin. This month, Pastor TJ and Father Sean will guide us in an introductory exploration of AI (artificial intelligence) and what it means to do the work of liturgy (a word that literally means “the work of the people”) in an experiential and creative way. You don’t have to be tech-savvy to find something of interest in this creative hour of worship. Let’s come together to wonder, learn, and do the work of the people—faithfully and boldly.

Join us on Tuesday, December 24, at 7:00 pm for a beautiful Christmas Eve worship service. Together, we’ll celebrate the birth of Christ with carols and candlelight, as we read the Christmas story from Luke 2.

All are welcome as we share the joy and hope of this holy night.
