Bishop LaBelle’s Episcopal Visitation on the Feast of the Baptism of Jesus
THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 2025
Our newly consecrated bishop, The Rt. Rev. Phil LaBelle, will preside and preach at all three morning services on Sunday, January 12—8, 9, and 11 a.m. This is his official "Episcopal Visitation" that occurs only once every three years. (The word "Episcopal" here just means "relating to a bishop.")
It is customary for the bishop to offer Baptisms and Confirmations/Receptions on this day, and January 12 happens to be the Feast of the Baptism of Jesus, one of the four Baptismal Feasts of the church year. At 9 a.m., Holly Elena Schultz will be baptized and Jack Turner will reaffirm his baptismal vows. At 11 a.m., Evie Noelle Sperka and Janet Lee Leduc will be baptized. Janet will also be confirmed.

Spirituality of Presence: Accompanying Others in Suffering and Pain with Canon Rich
THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 7:30–9 P.M., Leffler House
What does it mean to accompany others through spiritual suffering and pain? What is our call as Christians to show up in care for others while also tending to our own souls in the discomfort of entering the suffering of others? Join January's installment of the the monthly 20s/30s discussion series Questioning Together as we host Canon Rich Weyls, Canon for Community Life at Saint Mark’s, who has previously worked in hospital chaplaincy, alongside parishioners Else Trygstad-Burke and Molly Bosch who work in mental health care. We will explore what it means to accompany others who experience pain while also caring for our own souls through the lens of our faith.
At 9:15, there is an option to head over to Compline together. Questions? Email Molly: Molly.bosch@outlook.com or 20s30s@saintmarks.org

SUNDAY MORNING FORUM
A Crash Course on Non-Violence
SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 10:10–10:50 A.M., Bloedel Hall
In this forum on MLK Weekend, we'll take a brief look at the fascinating history of non-violence with a special emphasis on the legacy of Bayard Rustin, a student of Mohandus (Mahatma) Gandhi, who brought back his learnings to the leaders of the American Civil Rights movement. A Black gay man and a Quaker, Rustin became a trusted advisor to Martin Luther King, Jr, and was the organizer of the March on Washington. While the principles of non-violence deserve much more time than this forum allows, Canon Barrie will provide resources for further exploration, including the pledge of non-violence and the invitation to a participate in the annual Season of Non-Violence.

These gifts will be used to furnish the shelter and help with operational support—which will cost about $1000 per woman per month. If you’ve not yet had a chance to give and would like to, you can do so here. (Select "New Emergency Women's Shelter" from the list of options.) Thank you!

TWO WEDNESDAYS, JANUARY 22 & 29, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom. Optional Community Dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family)
A two-part Cathedral Commons forum led by Dean Steve Thomason
Our world is seemingly on fire, and the uncertainties of our time translate to a sense of chaos and upheaval. Anxiety and anger run amok. Under threat of change, the human impulse is to conservative inertia or even regression, which invariably leads to injustice and oppression. We are seeing that; we are living in this crucible moment when the paradigms that have historically made sense in the social fabric will not hold, and tweaks to them will not suffice. Paradigm shifts (revolutionary insights) are needed as we find our way. We are on the cusp of something as significant as Newtonian cosmology or modern Cognitive Psychology, but we will only breakthrough to new paradigms if we let go of the basic assumptions of the prevailing theories of social constructs built on a misguided transactional calculus. Hint: Jesus was on to something big!

Volunteer Opportunities
At this time there is a particular need for volunteers interested in operating the cameras for livestreamed liturgies in the nave and/or hybrid events in Bloedel Hall. Prior experience is not required, although an interest in video production is helpful. The job requires quick thinking and can be stressful, but it's also creative and fun. Contact Greg Bloch to learn more: gbloch@saintmarks.org
There is also a need for Compline Hospitality Ministers, volunteers who are a friendly face and welcoming presence for all those attending Compline each Sunday night. (This position is called "Hospitality Minister" because it combines the distinct roles of Usher and Greeter into one.) This role is simple but important—for many people, Compline is the first time they have come through the cathedral's doors, so you may be the first cathedral community member they will ever encounter. This role is open to all, and is a particularly good opportunity for couples to volunteer together. Ministers serve once a month or less. Contact Michael Seewer to learn more: mseewer@saintmarks.org
