Lent, Holy Week, and Easter Schedule

With Ash Wednesday this coming week, on March 5, we enter the sacred season of Lent. Saint Mark's offers a spectrum of liturgies, performances, forums, and other other offerings throughout the season, ranging from a Wisdom Practice Day, special in-person weekday prayer services, and a concert of The Seven Last Words of Christ by Joseph Haydn on Palm Sunday, to the great liturgies of Holy Week and Easter themselves. Check out the schedule here. (This page will be updated as new events are announced and new details become available.)

Newcomers' Coffee This Sunday

THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 2 (AND THE FIRST SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH), 12:30 P.M., meet in the rear of the nave following the 11 a.m. service.

A newcomers' coffee with clergy is offered on the first Sunday of each month immediately following the 11 a.m. Sunday service. This coffee hour is offered especially for newcomers, guests, or anyone who has questions about the cathedral community and liturgies. Gather in the back of the nave. Email newcomers@saintmarks.org if you cannot attend in person, or with any other questions. And as always, please spread the word to anyone you know who may be interested.

Sunday Forum on Ways to Pray in Lent with Canon Barrie

THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 2, 10:10–10:50 A.M., Bloedel Hall

Each year on Ash Wednesday we are invited to observe a holy Lent, and among the ways we do that is through prayer and reading and meditating on scripture. Come explore what this can look and sound like, in poetry and music, in the Lenten devotional that will be available at the forum (see below), perhaps even with an intergenerational prayer partner, and plan to share a practice that's meaningful to you in this season of repentance and drawing near to God.

Queer Conversations this Sunday, and QuiC Discussion Series for Lent

LAUNCH: THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 2, 5:30 P.M., in Leffler House or online via Zoom 

SUBSEQUENT MEETINGS ARE MONDAYS, 7:30 P.M., online via Zoom only

The Queer in Christ community will gather for a Lenten conversation series titled Clearing Space for God. There will be a general introduction this Sunday, March 2, at the normal monthly Queer Conversation time—right after Evensong at 5:30 p.m. Then starting the next day, Monday, March 3, the group will meet on Zoom each Monday at 7:30 p.m. for six weeks, through April 7. Community member James Davidson will facilitate the discussions. The series will conclude with another in-person/hybrid gathering, time and location TBA. Find the list of meetings and topics here.

Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras Community Celebration with Closing of the Doors

THIS TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 6–7:15 P.M., in the cathedral nave. Suggested donation: $6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family. Registration requested.

Update: The pancake supper will include live music provided by the Fredy Andrés Jazz Quartet, made up of music students from Cornish College of the Arts. 

Please gather in the cathedral nave on Shrove Tuesday (a.k.a. Mardi Gras), March 4, to end the season after Epiphany in the traditional way—by gathering in community, eating pancakes, and having fun! There will be live music, crafts, and games. Chef Marc Aubertin and the youth will be preparing our meal. In addition to pancakes, sausage, fruit, and toppings, Vestry members will provide jambalaya and gumbo.

The celebration in the nave will conclude with a brief liturgy to "bury the Alleluias" and close the great doors until Easter. (This is a treasured tradition unique to Saint Mark's—find links to some views of what the Closing of the Doors looked in recent years here.) Finally, on the patio, palms are burned to create ashes for the Ash Wednesday services the next day.

Due to the terrific turn-out to this event last year, we are requesting advance registration to assist in planning. Register using this form. Please register before Sunday, March 2.

Ash Wednesday at Saint Mark's

The 7 p.m. service will include music offered by the youth of the Cathedral Schola.

THE WISDOM SCHOOL AT SAINT MARK'S

Wisdom Practice Day in Lent: A Different Kind of Fast

SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 2025, 8:30 A.M.–12 P.M., registration required. Total participants are limited, and just a few spots remain!

One of the most ancient spiritual tools used across religions and cultures is fasting. Jesus himself used fasting as a way to prepare for his ministry, and his 40-day fast in the wilderness is the basis for the Christian season of Lent. In this workshop we will examine the biblical tradition of fasting and give you some modern tools to help you engage in this embodied prayer practice, which is about more than just giving up food. It is a way of letting go of the distractions and cravings that impede our spiritual journey, creating space for sacred Wisdom to speak into our lives anew.

The Rev. Dr. Hillary Raining will join via Zoom to guide a reflection on the spiritual practice of fasting, and local musician Dr. Darlene Franz will be present to invite us into Wisdom Chant across the morning, all as we seek to unfold to new spiritual awareness shaped by questions such as “What is my true hunger?”

Just a few spots remain (first-come, first-served). Register using this link.

Godly Play Core Training

SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 9 A.M.– 5 P.M., in the St. Nicholas Bldg, 2nd floor. Subsequent trainings on April 5 and May 10. Registration required.

The most comprehensive training on Godly Play practices and theology, Core Training is recommended for every adult leading Godly Play sessions, or anyone who is interested in learning more.

Over the course of three monthly sessions, participants experience all aspects of the Godly Play method and begin to become fluent in the Godly Play core stories and fundamental practices. Additionally, Godly Play’s guiding “Theology of Childhood” is introduced, so participants become more deeply connected to their work. The training will be led by Saint Mark's own Canon Vicar, the Rev. Canon Emily Griffin, who, in addition to her role at the cathedral, has also been a Godly Play Trainer since 2007 and serves as President of the Board of the Godly Play Foundation.

Participants are encouraged to attend all three trainings, but are welcome to attend whichever their schedule allows. Each session is $50, but the promo code SMC unlocks a 50% discount for cathedral community members. Scholarships are available—email faithformation@ecww.org

Find more information and register here. Registration includes continental breakfast, lunch and snacks.

In-Person Morning and Evening Prayer, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Lent

TUESDAYS IN LENT (March 11–April 15), 8:15–8:45 A.M., in Thomsen Chapel

WEDNESDAYS IN LENT (March 12–April 9), 5:30–6 P.M., in McCaw Chapel (behind the altar in the cathedral nave)

Hosted by 20s/30s Group—All are welcome

During Lent, the 20s/30s Group invites all who are interested in deepening their experience of the Daily Office by joining them for morning or evening prayer together in person. Gather in Thomsen Chapel on Tuesdays at 8:15 a.m. for Morning Prayer and Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. for Evening Prayer in McCaw Chapel. Questions? Email julia7cooper@gmail.com

Eco-theology—Is God's Love Broad Enough for Bears?

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 6:45–8:15 P.M., (rescheduled from February due to weather), in person in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom. Free, no registration required. Optional Community Dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family)

What does theology have to say about environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate change? Ecotheology is a form of constructive theology that focuses on the interrelationship between religion and nature, particularly in the light of environmental concerns. In this session, we will explore classical theological notions of Creation, our neglect of these concepts in Western Christianity, and their restoration in the Triune God of love. This presentation will be given by The Rev. Canon Rich Weyls, Canon for Community Life and Senior Associate Rector. Canon Rich is also the staff support person for Saint Mark's Creation Care Ministry. Join online using this Zoom link.

Generosity as Resistance: Living the Call to Radical Hospitality in Challenging Times

TWO WEDNESDAYS IN LENT, MARCH 19 & 26, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom. Free, no registration required. Optional Community Dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family) 

“From anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again” (Luke 6:29b–30).

Jesus proclaimed a message of extravagant generosity—a generosity responsive to God’s overwhelming generosity to us as the one who creates, sustains, and redeems us. But today there are voices in our nation and in the Christian Church who seek to restrict generosity to those deemed “worthy.” How are we to live out Jesus’ call in these times? How do we develop a counterculture of abundance in the face of a culture that operates out of scarcity? Join us on March 19 and 26 to reflect together on these questions. Led by Peter Snyder, James Davidson, and Greg Simon.

Evensong Choir Unvested! An Evening of Cabaret, Dessert, and Silent Auction in Support of the Evensong Choir's 2025 Pilgrimage

LIVING STONES II CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Sign up for a Home Gathering!

Come learn more about what we’re hoping to accomplish through our Living Stones II: Building a Sound Future capital campaign. Whether they’re held at parishioners’ homes or our spiritual home here at Saint Mark’s, these gatherings from mid-March to mid-April offer a chance to deepen relationships and reflect together on the campaign’s goals:

• Meeting Saint Mark's commitment to become net carbon zero by 2030 through replacing extremely outdated and inefficient heating and cooling systems
• Enhancing the cathedral's welcome and worship experience through a new radiant-heated slate floor in the nave and renovated narthex and restrooms
• Making lasting investments in music at Saint Mark's through endowments for music ministries and funding the installation of a custom Renaissance organ donated by its builder

Each session will be about 90 minutes; there will be light refreshments and ample time for questions. No financial commitments will be asked for or received.

Sign up today at saintmarks.org/CapitalCampaignRSVP

Exact addresses and other follow-up information will be sent as the date of each event approaches.

If you prefer an event to which you could bring your children, please contact Canon Wendy Barrie at wbarrie@saintmarks.org

Other questions about signing up? Contact Deborah Person at deborah.person@gmail.com, call Canon Barrie at 206-323-0300 x253, or stop by a table outside of the Nave after the 9 or 11 a.m. Sunday services on March 2, 9 or 16.

Bring Your Palm Branches to Church this Sunday

This Sunday, March 2, please bring your palms from last year's Palm Sunday liturgy to the cathedra, so that they can be burned at the conclusion of the Shrove Tuesday liturgy. Place palms in the baskets located near the entrance to the nave. Contact Sacristan Michael Seewer with questions: mseewer@saintmarks.org

Register Now for Easter Vigil Baptisms and Cathedral Day Confirmations

The Great Vigil of Easter (Saturday, April 19, 2025) is sometimes called the Queen of liturgies and the jewel of the church year, and it's an especially meaningful occasion for youth and adult baptisms. At Saint Mark's, the service also includes a Rite of Enrollment for those who will be confirmed or received on Cathedral Day a few weeks later, in which candidates for confirmation are presented to the community and to the Bishop and blessed.

At the Great Vigil of Easter, the congregation gathers in the darkness of the cathedral nave. The Bishop kindles new fire, from which the Paschal candle is lit. We hear the stories of God's saving deeds through history, and the baptisms take place by candlelight just before the alleluias ring out, the Great Doors swing open, and the Easter Gospel is proclaimed.

Register here if you wish to be baptized at the Easter Vigil.

Use this form if you wish to be confirmed, received into the Episcopal Church, or reaffirmed in your baptismal vows in on Cathedral Day (Saturday, May 3, 2025). Those who plan to be confirmed on Cathedral Day are invited to participate in the Rite of Enrollment during the Easter Vigil, but this is not required. You can indicate your preference on the form.

Intergenerational Prayer Partners in Lent and Eastertide

Register to participate using this form. Registration Requested before Shrove Tuesday, March 4.

UPDATED DEISCRIPTION: We're trying something new to help cultivate and strengthen intergenerational relationships among Saint Mark’s parishioners! Sign up to participate and you'll be matched with a prayer partner in a different age group, someone with whom and for whom you will intentionally pray through the weeks of Lent and Eastertide. 

What will this look like? You decide! We hope you'll meet up in person on a Sunday morning and perhaps at some other Saint Mark's events, but you can leave notes for each other, connect over email or Zoom, or go for a walk together in Volunteer Park.

What you share and how you share it is up to both of you, but perhaps each week, you can share one thing: your favorite table grace, a bedtime prayer, a line of scripture you love. You can tell your prayer partner that you're worried about x or thankful for y, and they can hold that in prayer. You can even use the reflection questions or conversation starters in the Lenten devotional that's available to pick up at the cathedral.

The goal is to form a new friendship or deepen a casual connection with someone of a different generation, with different experiences, and prayer is a powerful way to do that. Learn more and register here!

2025 Lenten Devotional

Coming Back to Life: Devotions and Activities for Lent from our friends at Salt Project is full of meaningful suggestions that "help us wake up, preparing our hearts, minds, and communities for Easter’s great celebration."

Each week, biblical texts and creation’s wonders inspire practices you can try as an individual, as a household, or with friends at your kitchen or dining room table. The beautiful printed booklets will be available at the 10:10 a.m. forum on Sunday, March 2, or in the rear of the nave beginning on Ash Wednesday. (For copyright reasons, we cannot share the booklet electronically.) Canon Barrie also has a limited supply of tea lights and colored index cards that will help you make the most of the ideas in the booklet—available at the forum and in the nave while supplies last.
