Saint Mark's Cathedral Newsletter: The Second Sunday after the Epiphany

The Third Act-ers Retirees Group potluck scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, January 13, has been postponed due to potential inclement weather. It will be rescheduled in February, on a date to be announced. To learn more, contact Kathy Minsch (kminsch@gmail.com) or Elizabeth Clark-Stern (ecstern@yahoo.com).

Winter Weather Advisory

Severe winter weather is expected this weekend. At this time snow is not expected to be a concern in our area, but there will be wind with sub-zero temperatures through the weekend. Visit kcemergency.com for information, links, and resources. Be aware that it is the policy of Saint Mark's Cathedral that Sunday worship services (including Compline) are never cancelled due to weather. However, safety is of primary concern; we ask every person to use caution; and those who can be present safely will form the worshiping community. The 11 a.m. Sunday Eucharist service is always livestreamed, unless staff availability makes it impossible. Again, safety is the primary concern.

Other cathedral events besides Sunday liturgies may be canceled or rescheduled as necessary, and the cathedral building and offices may close due to severe weather on weekdays. Visit saintmarks.org/weather for the most updated information

COMING SOON

JANUARY 14

THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 14, 12:30–2 P.M., Cathedral House Room 210

Next up for discussion in the Second Sunday Book Group is Barbara Kingsolver’s 2022 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Demon Copperhead. Set in the Appalachian hills of Kentucky, it’s Kingsolver’s version of Dickens’ David Copperfield. Institutional poverty is still with us, Kingsolver says, and she shares the outrage Dickens felt as she tells her story of a trailer park kid, born to an unwed mother, who ended up in a foster care system that repeatedly failed to serve the children it was supposed to protect. Her book is dedicated to “the kids who wake up hungry in those dark places every day, who’ve lost their family to poverty and pain pills, whose caseworkers keep losing their files, who feel invisible, or wish they were.” Kingsolver always has a message, but she also knows how to tell a good story. The Saint Mark's Bo0k Group meets the second Sunday of odd-numbered months. Contact Pearl McElheran with questions.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Creation Care Tip: Heat Pumps

The Creation Care Ministry will be offering tips on a variety of topics related to carbon reduction in the cathedral newsletter this season. Tips will be archived here as they are published.

In spite of their name, heat pumps are a way to cool AND heat your home, and they have a lighter impact on our planet. According to Energy.gov, heat pumps can reduce the electricity you use to heat your home by as much as 65%! The IRS offers a tax credit of up to $2,000 for a heat pump. Keep an eye on the Washington Department of Commerce website for details on additional energy incentives available to Washington homeowners in 2024. And don’t forget to check with your utility provider for other potential incentives.

Stories include racial justice, military, foster care, sexual trafficking, love and loss and others as well-known figures including Pete Buttigieg, Al Roker, Sam Waterston, Becca Stevens, Russell Moore, John Danforth, John Clyburn, Kelly Brown Douglas and Jon Meacham weigh in on the issue.

A Case for Love will be shown in theater for one day only, on Tuesday, January 23. There are no theaters in Seattle participating, but the film can be seen in Redmond, Tukwila, Lynnwood, Federal Way, and several others. Follow the "Get Tickets" on this page to see the list of times and locations.
