NEW & NOTEWORTHY

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:


  1. Meeting Saint Mark's commitment to become net carbon zero by 2030 through replacing extremely outdated and inefficient heating and cooling systems
  2. Enhancing the cathedral's welcome and worship experience through a new radiant-heated slate floor in the nave and renovated narthex and restrooms
  3. 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.  

20s/30s Questioning Together for March: Digging Deeper into Lent with Canon Griffin


SUNDAY, MARCH 9, 7:30 P.M., Leffler House


What roles should confession and forgiveness play in the messiness of our lives? What is self-denial meant to teach us? How can giving up something or adding a spiritual practice during Lent shape us as people? Gather on Sunday evening, March 9, in Leffler House for Questioning Together as the Rev. Canon Emily Griffin leads an exploration of this vital season in our spiritual lives. At 9:15, there is an option to head over to Compline together. Questions? Email 20s30s@saintmarks.org

MONDAY, MARCH 10, 7–8:30 P.M., via Zoom

We hope you'll join us on Monday, March 10 from 7-8:30 pm as we plan and discuss opportunities to foster spiritual growth and nourishing relationships across the age spectrum and to broaden and deepen intergenerational perspectives, participation, and leadership in Holy Week, Eastertide, Cathedral Day, Ministry Fair, Convene, and the ongoing work of the Accessibility Task Force.

Hannah Hochkeppel and 20s/30s members will lead this forum on the final Wednesday before Lent to explore the liturgical calendar. What are our seasons? What do the colors and traditions of each season invoke in our spiritual life? Together we will uncover the ways in which the cyclical nature of the liturgical year invites us regularly into the experience of transition and reflection.


This is a follow-up to a previous forum exploring the liturgical traditions of The Episcopal Church offered in April 2024. Join using this Zoom link.

MARCH 4


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


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.

MARCH 5

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, services at 7 a.m., noon, and 7 p.m. (noon and 7 p.m. livestreamed)


The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, which this year falls on March 5. (Easter Sunday will be April 20, 2025.) A service of Holy Eucharist with Imposition of Ashes will be offered at 7 a.m. in Thomsen Chapel, then at noon and 7 p.m. in the cathedra nave. Both the noon and 7 p.m. services are livestreamed. The 7 p.m. service will include music offered by the youth of the Cathedral Schola.

MARCH 7

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.

MARCH 8

Garden Ministry March Work Party


SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 9 A.M.–12 P.M.,


The Saint Mark's Garden Ministry volunteers meet to work on the second Saturday of the month 9 a.m.–noon, from February through November, planting, weeding, composting and making our campus beautiful.

Registration Now Open for Intergenerational Prayer Partners in Lent and Eastertide


Register to participate using this form.


All members of the community of Saint Mark's are warmly invited to become an Intergenerational Prayer Partner, as part of a special program beginning on Shrove Tuesday, March 4, and continuing through the Day of Pentecost, Sunday, June 8. If you register to participate, you’ll be matched with a prayer partner of another generation, with whom you’ll regularly check in so you’ll better know their prayer needs. Perhaps you’ll sit together on Sunday mornings, and meet up occasionally at Saint Mark’s events, such as the Pancake Supper and the Pentecost Run/Ride/Roll.


This program is intended to help cultivate and strengthen intergenerational relationships among Saint Mark’s parishioners, and we know from other congregations who have adopted this model that it’s a great way for people to meaningfully connect and engage with each other. Learn more and register 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"
