The term "ministering" in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints refers to Christlike caring for others. When seeking inspiration (The "How"), Gerrit W. Gong said, “Ministering is simply an expression of that love as we seek inspiration, follow the Spirit, and use His power to bless others. ... When we are truly ministering, we are doing the Lord’s work, and we are blessed to receive the help we need.”
BOISE BISHOPS’ STOREHOUSE
The Boise Home Storage Center (formerly at the Garden City Cannery) is open at 10740 West Fairview Suite 300, Boise, Idaho 83713. This location (by Deseret Industries) is easily accessible and fully stocked! Hours of operation are:
Tuesday 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Saturday 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
This location (by the Deseret Industries) has everything the Cannery location supplied.
The Bishops’ Storehouse will no longer have a lobby area for extra family members to wait while their orders are being filled.
Also, we are not able to do “fill ahead” pick up orders because there is not an area to store the filled shopping carts awaiting the patron's arrival.
We won’t fill any orders until the patron arrives, so there is no need to call ahead.
Call when you arrive and we will promptly fill the order with you.
FAMILY SERVICES - Family Services provides a variety of services aimed towards helping families overcome specific challenges. We’ve been advised that the Church will now cover the expenses of counseling and other family services. You still must get the Bishop’s approval to use these services. If you have any questions, please reach out to Kim Roth.
