JUNETEENTH
Juneteenth, the holiday that celebrates the end of African-American slavery, falls this year on a Sunday. It will be acknowledged in all our liturgies this weekend. All are invited to attend the Juneteenth celebration at Othello Playground on Sunday (see below).
One year ago, in 2021, it was made a federal holiday, which is observed the following Monday. The cathedral offices will be closed on Monday, June 20, in observance of this holiday. (Evening Prayer is cancelled that day; Cathedral Yoga and 12-step meetings will occur as usual.)
Canon Wendy Claire Barrie has written this post on her personal blog, in which she invites us to to use the holiday as an opportunity to work with intention against racism in our communities and in ourselves. She presents numerous relevant resources for all ages, including a link to The Rev. Canon Carla Robinson's powerful Juneteenth sermon offered at Saint Mark's last year.

Registration in advance is important so that we can plan meals and activities. An accurate count means less wasted food! To participate, complete the registration form here, then submit your payment using saintmarks.org/give. The fee, when paid in advance, is $10 per person/per night, maximum of $90 per family.

A REQUEST: We need clean glass jars of different sizes for the activities. If you have any to donate, please drop them off at the cathedral at your convenience. Also, we would love to borrow a toddler's water table.
