An Introduction to the United Church of Christ and Boise First UCC
Are you new to Boise First United Church of Christ? Have you been active for a few years but would like to know more about our congregation? Were you raised in a faith tradition other than the United Church of Christ (UCC)? Are you discerning if, or when, or how to become a member of Boise First UCC? Would you like a better idea of what we believe?
If you have answered yes to one or more of these questions, then we have an opportunity for you! Pastor Bruce and our intern, Jenny Jahn, are offering a three-week course on the United Church of Christ and Boise First UCC. Starting Wednesday, April 17, we will meet from 6 to 7:30 pm. Child care will be provided. Light food will be available. If you come directly from work, we will make sure that you are adequately sustained. If you are interested, click here or indicate your interest on a Friendship Card on Sunday morning. You can join any time, even if you miss a week!
Get to know a few folks at Boise First UCC a bit better. Discover the history and theology of the UCC and our congregation. Learn how your gifts might be engaged in acts of service that will bring joy to your heart. We look forward to your participation.
May Senior Luncheon
Lunch with Seniors on Tuesday, May 7
Boise First seniors will enjoy learning some gardening tips at the May 7 luncheon.
Lisa Anderson, who loves gardening, lives in a small apartment that she adorns with beautiful flowers and a few vegetables.
She asks, “Do you love fresh herbs, veggies, flowers? Own your condo or rent or not a fan of bending over, so think you can't have a garden? The good news is YES, you can!” Lisa will share her tips and ideas and answer our questions.
We look forward to hearing her suggestions. Gather at noon on Tuesday, May 7, and bring your favorite potluck picnic food. While we eat, we can share stories of our own green (or brown) thumbs.
We could use a few volunteers to help with set-up and clean-up. Thanks in advance for your help!
May Book Club
In May we will discuss "Cloud Cuckoo Land" by Anthony Doerr. This book has been described as "a soaring novel about children on the cusp of adulthood in a broken world, who find resilience, hope, and story. The heroes of Cloud Cuckoo Land are children trying to figure out the world around them, and to survive. In the besieged city of Constantinople in 1453, in a public library in Lakeport, Idaho, today, and on a spaceship bound for a distant exoplanet decades from now, an ancient text provides solace and the most profound human connection to characters in peril. They all learn the story of Aethon, who longs to be turned into a bird so that he can fly to the paradise of Cloud Cuckoo Land, a better world."
Please join us on Tuesday, May 14th at 1:00 p.m. while we discuss this book. We meet at the church; all are welcome to attend.
