Haugk, is being offered once again at St. Thomas. Classes will be held on Monday evenings during Lent: March 9, 16, 23, 30 and April 6 from 5:00-7:30 PM. Interested? Please see Judi in the office to pick up a fully descriptive brochure and to sign-up for the class. A registration fee of $20 covers the cost of the materials, and attendees are urged to plan to attend all five sessions.

St. Thomas Playhouse has met its lofty $25,000 fundraising effort at the Girlfriend Lunch to replenish the Bilkey Fund, which provides tuition assistance for dozens of children who attend Playhouse programming. With 100 Registered guests, it was also the largest Girlfriend Lunch in the last six years. Below are photos courtesy of Becky Smith

Sunday, March 1, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m.   As part of the Sun Valley Museum of Art community outreach program around the Company of Fools play “The Niceties” (starring our own Claudia McCain), Company of Fools, United Vision for Idaho, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and St. Thomas will jointly present a public lecture and discussion with Lecia Brooks, Chief Workplace Transformation Officer at the SPLC, and Adrienne Evans, Executive Director of UVI. The event will be held in the sanctuary at St. Thomas and is free to the public. We hope this program will further meaningful conversations and a spirit of reconciliation to help counter the rhetoric of hatred and mistrust that is on the rise globally. Please plan to join us for this important event.
