Adult Ed this Sunday

As the Church considers our call to care for Creation, we are increasingly aware that climate change impacts not only the Earth but people as well. Join us this Sunday after coffee hour for Adult Ed with Phoebe Bean, Ph.D. candidate in clinical psychology at the University of Montana, as she discusses her dissertation research about the impacts of climate change on mental health, and the importance of optimism and hope.

Just shy of 100 children will be rehearsing Disney's Finding Nemo Jr., the first Company B production of the season for St. Thomas Playhouse, this upcoming week at St. Thomas. The show will run

June 20 (2 pm)

June 21 (10 am and 2 pm)

@ Sun Valley Community School.

Tickets will be available Tuesday morning at 10 am at stthomasplayhouse.org.

Attention all members of St. Thomas! We are in the process of updating contact information for each and every one of you.

Men's Coffee

This July, Jonah will host a weekly coffee gathering at Starbucks in Ketchum on Tuesdays at 9 am. Join Jonah and other men from the parish for conversation, fellowship and a light-hearted opportunity to "solve the problems of the world". We will begin Tuesday, July 16th.

Jonah Vacation

This June Jonah will be away either on vacation or at General Convention the following days:

Vacation June 6th – 12th

General Convention June 21st – 30th

Vacation June 30th – July 7th

As of the end of this month, we have concluded celebrating each of our ministries. Therefore coffee hour for the summer is not scheduled. If you are interested in hosting, we would love to have you share your hospitality with us. Hosting coffee hour provides a great way to give thanks for and support our congregation.
