The 2024 "O" Antiphons Liturgy
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 7 p.m., in the cathedral nave and livestreamed. Incense will be used.
Saint Mark's offers The "O" Antiphons Advent Procession with Lessons and Carols each year on the first Sunday evening of Advent. Pageantry, prayer, scripture readings, and music unite to draw worshipers deeply into the identity of the One most longed for. The history and content of this service was explored in detail at the recent forum with Dean Thomason, Canon Kleinschmidt, and Compline Choir Director Jason Anderson—a complete video of that forum, along with slides and other resources, can now be found here.
| |
Highlights of this year's liturgy include:
- Participation of the Cathedral Choir, the Compline Choir, and the Senior Choristers of the Choir School.
- A new anthem, In the Stillness by acclaimed young composer B.E. Boykin (pictured), commissioned by Saint Mark's and written especially for this liturgy
- Three works by Peter Hallock, in a culmination of the observance of his centenary year: Behold, a mighty Prophet (1969), The "O" Antiphons (1989), and Rorate caeli desuper (2008).
- Jan Sandström's astonishing setting of the familiar carol Lo how a rose, presented by the Cathedral Choir.
- Congregational hymns, including one unfamiliar to the cathedral congregation, How shall I sing that majesty? (to the tune Coe Fen by Ken Naylor) and of course the beloved O come, O come, Emmanuel.
Please note that this service takes the place of first-Sunday Choral Evensong on December 1, and that the 7 p.m. Contemplative Eucharist in Thomsen Chapel will not be offered that day.

2024 Giving Tree
This year's Giving Tree is now on display in the nave, filled with tags for gifts to Lowell Elementary School, Casa Latina, Mary’s Place, and Lambert House, including gift cards as well as toys and other items. Giving Tree gifts are due back to the cathedral by 11 a.m. on Sunday, December 8, so they can blessed at the altar that Sunday and then be distributed to recipients in a timely fashion. (The gifts need to be delivered to Lowell School before classes end.) As an alternative to picking up a tag on the Giving Tree, you can also order directly from the Lowell School wishlist or the Mary's Place wishlist. Or visit saintmarks.org/give and select "Giving Tree" from the list of options (these donations will be distributed equitably among the recipient organizations). Your generosity means an enormous amount to these families in our community. If you have questions about the Giving Tree, please contact Canon Barrie: wbarrie@saintmarks.org

Winter Solstice Poetry Forum
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 10:10-10:50 A.M., Bloedel Hall
The birth of Christ, celebrated at the time of the Winter Solstice here in the north, announces the return of light to the world but also the birthing of the Word, the Logos, into the world. That Word brings consciousness, truth, love, and light, which we celebrate at this Sunday morning forum, with a reading of relevant poems that speak into this darkness and affirm that it does not silence us. Hosted by Professor Emeritus Doug Thorpe along with the Creation Care Ministry and the Cathedral’s vibrant and light-bearing 20s/30s Group. For information contact dthorpe@spu.edu

Rescheduled from November 13 due to power outage
While growth in our relationship with God is a lifelong process, the relationship itself is there from the start. What we often lack—no matter our age—are ways to name and share what we experience of God’s presence. Join the Rev. Canon Emily Griffin for an exploration of the spirituality of childhood and how it provides a foundation for a lifelong faith. How might religious language, community, play, and authentic presence with one another nurture faith—and what might we learn from each other across generations as we journey together? Come and see. Join online using this Zoom link.
Please note that there will be no Cathedral Commons forum OR Community Dinner on Wednesday, December 18, due to the Pageant of the Nativity that evening. There will also be no forum or dinner on Wednesday, December 25, or Wednesday, January 1. Cathedral Commons resumes as usual on January 8, 2025, with dinner and a forum on the Creeds.

Bishop LaBelle to make special visitation to Saint Mark’s Cathedral
SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 2025
While the bishop of our diocese is always present at the cathedral a few times each year (e.g. Christmas Eve, Easter Vigil and Easter Day, Cathedral Day, Ordinations), an official "Episcopal Visitation" is a rarer and more special occurrence. Canon law requires every diocesan bishop to visit every congregation in their diocese at least once every three years. When this happens here, the bishop is visiting Saint Mark's as a parish community, rather than as a diocesan cathedral.
Our newly consecrated bishop, The Rt. Rev. Phil LaBelle, will preside and preach at all three morning services on Sunday, January 12—8 a.m., 9. a.m., & 11 a.m. 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! If you’d like to consider being baptized, confirmed, or received on this day, please contact Canon Wendy Barrie soon so we can began the process: wbarrie@saintmarks.org

The 2024 Saint Mark's Community Thanksgiving | |
Gratitude for a Successful Alternative Gift Market
A huge thank you to all who helped make the second Alternative Gift Market possible, from those who planned and dreamed, quilted, knitted, crafted and donated treasures, baked treats, and represented our community partners and ministries to those who helped set up the event, attended and made purchases and donations, and helped clean up afterwards. None of this would have been possible without your help, support, and enthusiasm! Erik Donner is still adding up all the purchases and donations—will share a grand total as soon as we are able.

Big THANK YOU from the Evensong Choir!
Hearty thanks to all for participating in Hymnathon 2024 two Saturdays ago and in the weeks leading up to it. The fundraising totals will not be known for another week or two; the contributions continue to flow in.
What has been determined is Saint Mark's Favorite Hymn of 2024. Drumroll please! The hymn which got the most votes-with-dollars is... Hymn #608, Eternal Father, strong to save, also known as the Navy Hymn! Is this because we live in a major port city with ocean-going vessels in view? Perhaps. (Canon Kleinschmidt suspects it may have something to do with a former chorister who is now enrolled in a maritime academy.)
Why a Hymnathon? Saint Mark's Evensong Choir of child, teen, and adult singers has a fundraising goal of $35,000 for scholarship to enable everyone, regardless of ability to pay, can participate int he choir's pilgrimage to England next August, where they will serve as Choir-in-Residence for one week each at Lincoln and Durham Cathedrals. Last Saturday, November 23, they sang all 720 hymns in our hymnal between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.—if you have any doubts that they really did this, video of the entire 10-hour marathon can be seen here!

Last Chance! Lost and Found
The Lost and Found Bin will be emptied soon, so take a look near the back Coffee Corner for your missing water bottle/sweater/scarf/notebook/gloves/hat/eyeglasses/blanket/eyeglasses! All items will be donated to charity after the 11 a.m. service on December 8. Lost and Found items can also be seen Monday–Friday during church office hours, 9–4:30 p.m. in their usual location, Bloedel Hall. Generally, the bins are accessible anytime the church is open, and they are emptied seasonally (December/March/June/September).

FROM THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Good News Gardens—An Invitation
Building Faith, a program of Virginia Theological Seminary, just posted an article by Brian Sellers-Peterson, a longtime member of the Saint Mark's community, about Good News Gardens. With participants from across The Episcopal Church, Good News Gardens is a movement of individuals, congregations, schools, colleges, seminaries, monasteries, camps, and conference centers involved in a variety of food and creation care ministries—gardening, farming, beekeeping, composting, gleaning, feeding, food justice advocacy... Brian's article includes a shout-out and link about the beekeepers of Saint Mark’s! Check out the article here.
An invtation: Anyone involved in way with any of the gardening or related ministries at Saint Mark's in encouraged to register with Good News Gardens. When you register you will receive a monthly newsletter along with various opportunities to connect with a community of people involved in similar work. Learn more and register here.

Creation Care Ministry Seeks New Leadership
Are you especially interested in our call to care for God’s Creation? Are you interested in working with a group of people to plan activities at Saint Mark’s to bring awareness to the climate crisis and how we can make a difference? Kathy Minsch and Marjorie Ringness are stepping away from their leadership roles in Saint Mark’s Creation Care Ministry, and we are looking for others to serve on a steering committee to carry on the work of this vibrant ministry. Please talk to Rev. Rich Weyls or email creationcare@saintmarks.org to learn more about this opportunity.

Cathedral Parking Update
The cathedral has implemented a new system for paid parking in the cathedral lots. Parking fees can now be paid using the PayByPhone mobile app. Since this is the same app used by the City of Seattle, many will already have this app on their phones. New signs in the parking lots will explain the new system. Including taxes and fees, the total parking rate when payment is required will be $2.85/hour.
The general parking policies remain unchanged: Parking is free and open to all on Sundays. On other days, parking is free for those attending cathedral liturgies or official cathedral-sponsored events. If you are visiting the cathedral on official business during the day, ask for a parking pass at the reception desk. Cathedral members are entitled to a parking pass decal: drop by the cathedral offices during business hours to record your license plate number and pick up a decal. Those here for events on the property not produced by the cathedral, or visitors to other tenants on the cathedral property, will typically need to pay the usual rate. Please follow the posted signs.
Also remaining unchanged is the longstanding policy that 100% of the revenues collected from parking fees are placed in a restricted fund and are used only for urgent maintenance and long-deferred improvements of the parking lot itself.

Community Book Study
The Intergenerational Council, the Restorative Justice Council, and the Affordable Housing Committee invite the entire community of Saint Mark's to participate in a book study this winter to help us better understand issues of housing insecurity and houselessness. We've chosen two books by Matthew Desmond, Evicted from 2016 and Poverty, by America, published in 2023.
Thanks to a grant from the Episcopal Periodical Society, there are copies of both books available for anyone in the cathedral community for free. Books will be available to pick up on Sundays in the nave and in the church office during the week.
Also available through the same grant is I See You, a wordless picture book published by the American Psychological Association intended to open a door for kids and parents to begin a conversation about homelessness. I See You is available for families with children and comes with resources for parents, educators, and neighbors.
Book groups (in person and online) to discuss Evicted will be held in January. Groups will discuss Poverty, by America in February. Watch for more information and specific dates in the coming months. Curious to learn more about the subject and the author? Check out this podcast interview with author Matthew Desmond.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have lived experience of housing insecurity and are interested in reading Evicted in the safe space of an affinity group, please reach out to co-facilitators Deborah Anderson (waterlily3in1@gmail.com), Canon Wendy Claire Barrie (wbarrie@saintmarks.org), or one of the clergy.
