Southminster Presbyterian Church ~ October 2014
Save this date:
October 25!
The evening will start with Sabbath Worship and communion at 5 pm. All Saints Day
is traditionally on Nov 1, but we’ll get a head start and consider what that day has to
do with being Presbyterian. You’ll also get a chance to hear Sean Rogers play some
“All Hallow’s Eve” music on the organ!
We’ll then move outside where the FOOD TRUCKS will be set up and ready to feed
us. (If it is too cold outside, you can bring your food down to the fellowship hall.) A
few folks will be bringing their portable fire pits to set up in the parking lot, so we can
have fellowship around the campfire too.
We will be hosting our annual Trunk or Treat night for the neighborhood kids that
night as well. So if you are going to decorate your trunk, you might want to get here
early and set up your trunk on the back two rows of the parking lot. If you aren’t
going to set up your trunk, you may want to park at Grace Jordan Elementary School
and save some parking for people who have difficulty walking longer distances. (And
if you want to bring candy to be passed out to kids, but you can’t be there that
evening, you can bring that to church the weeks before Trunk or Treat.)
We are inviting the neighborhood to this evening, so bring your friends and tell folks
all about it! This night gives us a chance to show off things that are important to
us—meaningful worship, good food and fellowship, inviting the neighborhood to join
the fun, and (for some of us, at least) costumes!

Thank you Sam Davila and “Curtis Clean Sweep” for the
improvements to our parking lot. For those who haven’t
noticed, parking spaces have been marked and painted at
no cost to the church. Sam was aware of a program “Curtis
Clean Sleep” offers periodically to qualified organizations
where they donate their services to complete jobs of this
nature. We really appreciate being a recipient of their
kindness. Sam continues to do an excellent job handling the
custodial duties of the Church. If you get the chance, shake
his hand and thank him for the great job he does for us.

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES
What attracted you to this church? The beautiful building and grounds? The worship schedule or the style of
worship service? The friendly way members greet you? The music ministry? The programs that support the
neighborhood or other mission needs in Boise and the world? All of these things happen because our
members work together in committees and you can join in their ministry!
MISSION COMMITTEE
Elder Steve Crume
The committee assesses the congregations’ knowledge, interest, current involvement and priorities regarding
the mission of the church. Currently our focus includes Haiti Education Foundation; Crop Walk; House
Churches; Christmas Dinners; Grace Jordan Elementary School Volunteers; Saturday Neighborhood Breakfast
held on the last Saturday of each month; Puppet Theatre Ministry.
We would welcome additional members to help with these current ministries and help dream up ways to
reach out to our community.
Mission Committee meets at 7 pm on the second Tuesday of each month.
PARISH LIFE COMMITTEE
Elders Carrie Lillard and Lori Casady
This committee is responsible for developing opportunities for fellowship within the congregation; helping the
pastor with new member classes; arranging for and displaying pictures for new members; updating and
publishing the Church Directory annually; weddings and receptions, as approved by the pastor.
If you enjoy gathering people together for meals, providing hospitality to visitors, and bringing people together to share stories and laughter, please join our ministry!
Parish Life meets at 7 pm on the second Tuesday of each month.
Southminster has other standing committees, and I will share more information about them in the November
Messenger. See you then –Bobbie Tomlinson

HATS - SCARVES - GLOVES - MITTENS
Winter is just around the corner and we are probably prepared to keep ourselves warm. However,
there are new residents in our midst who may not be aware of our cold winters and do not own
hats, scarves, gloves and mittens.
Presbyterian Women will be collecting the above items during October for the Agency for New
Americans. Children, teens and adults need them and you can purchase or make some of these
items. Boxes will be in the Narthex and Cana Room. Help if you can!
