LIVING STONES II CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Sign up for a Home Gathering!
A message from Dean Thomason was mailed to cathedral community members this week providing more information about the Living Stones II: Building a Sound Future capital campaign, and including an invitation to attend an upcoming gathering, either at a parishioner's home, or on the Saint Mark's campus. These gatherings will be an opportunity to learn more this campaign, 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Meeting Saint Mark's commitment to become net carbon zero by 2030 through replacing extremely outdated and inefficient heating and cooling systems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
There are currently 25 gatherings scheduled from mid-March to mid-April. Choose one that is most convenient for you, but capacity of each event is limited, so don't wait to register! Each gathering 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
If you prefer an event to which you could bring your children, please contact Canon Wendy Barrie at: wbarrie@saintmarks.org
Exact addresses and other follow-up information will be sent as the date of each event approaches. Other questions about signing up for these gatherings? Contact Deborah Person at: deborah.person@gmail.com

Choral Evensong on the Last Sunday after the Epiphany
SUNDAY, MARCH 2, 4:30 P.M., in the cathedral nave and livestreamed
Saint Mark's Cathedral invites you to a service of Choral Evensong on the Last Sunday after the Epiphany—that is, the last Sunday before Lent. The Evensong Choir will offer (for the first time at Saint Mark's) a powerful setting of the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis composed in 1950 by Herbert Howells for Saint Paul's Cathedral, London. With the vast acoustical environment of that cathedral in mind, Howells composed a setting that unfolds with measured grandeur. It is a musical celebration of Mary's fierce dedication, and Simeon's tireless faithfulness, to the world-upending promises of God incarnate.

SECOND SUNDAY BOOK GROUP
Crossing Waiyaki Way by Gordon Okumu & Robin Zimmerman Okumu
SUNDAY, MARCH 9, 12:30–2 P.M., in Cathedral House Room 210
The Saint Mark's Second Sunday Book Group is reading Crossing Waiyaki Way: A True Story of Poverty, Prayer, and Politics in Kenya, an inspiring story about a young Kenyan boy who grew up impoverished and alone after his mother died. Through determination, hard work, the kindness of some Catholic clergy and, of course, innate intelligence, he was able to get an education, enter politics, and ultimately find refuge in the U.S. when he feared for his life in Kenya because of his politics.
He is aided in telling his story by his wife Robin Zimmerman Okumu, who once attended Saint Mark's and sang in the cathedral choir. She and her husband, Gordon Okumu now live in Tacoma and attend Christ Episcopal Church there. The Okumus will come to our discussion.

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!

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.

Mystery of Winter Skies with James Falzone
FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 7:30 P.M., in the cathedral nave and livestreamed. Tickets ($20–25) here.
The next offering of the Saint Mark's Music Series is Mystery of Winter Skies. Acclaimed composer, improvisor, multi-instrumentalist, and Saint Mark's community member James Falzone brings his unique style back to Saint Mark’s with a sonic exploration of the expansive beauty of creation, through James' own new musical compositions for penny whistles and string quartet. The string quartet is comprised of Luke Fitzpatrick & Alex Guy on violin, Erin Wight on viola, and Rose Bellini on cello. Many of James' compositions have grown out of ideas developed in his solo improvisations during the Sunday 7 p.m. Contemplative Eucharist in Thomsen Chapel, and seem to express the combination of the intimate and the sublime that characterizes that liturgy. Reserve your tickets here.

Justice for Migrants
On Tuesday, February 11, Dean Steve Thomason sent a message to the cathedral parish, reminding the community of Saint Mark's long history of work in support of refugees, immigrants, and others facing challenges and threats as newcomers in an unfamiliar place. As the situation facing the undocumented as well as legal refugees and asylees in this country shifts by the day, the cathedral will determine what role it is being called to serve in this time. Dean Steve also shared the news that the Episcopal Church has joined in filing a religious freedom lawsuit challenging ICE enforcement actions in churches. Watch this space for updates as this case works its way through the courts.
Finally, at the interfaith gathering on Monday, February 10, Joey Lopez of the Church Council of Greater Seattle shared the collection of resources and upcoming trainings gathered at: thechurchcouncil.org/migrant-solidarity Those who are U.S. citizens are especially encouraged to consider an upcoming Rapid Response Training offered by the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network—the next offering is March 29.

A Note of Gratitude from The Nelson-Brown Family
Beloved cathedral staff member Chris Brown has been undergoing rounds of chemotherapy since December 24. His wife Sandy Nelson writes:
"What a huge gift it has been to receive delicious homemade meals several days a week! It's especially helpful for Chris as he needs to eat small amounts of food more often during the day. It is such a blessing for us in this tough season. We are humbled by and grateful for our church family who have surrounded us with love, prayers, and support—you are the hands and feet of Christ for us right now! With love, Sandy, Chris, and Elsie"
