Choral Evensong for Trinity Sunday
Saint Mark’s Cathedral will offer this livestreamed evening service on Trinity Sunday, even in the glorious light of the late-setting June sun. Join Dean Thomason and eight carefully distanced singers in lifting praise and prayer to the Blessed Trinity through familiar hymns and prayers, Psalm 111, and Stanford’s Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in C major (the composer’s own favorite among his many settings.) The octet will also offer William Mathias’ setting of the famous text by Dame Julian of Norwich which closes with the timely phrase,
“All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”

Creation Care Ministry Update
NEXT MINISTRY MEETING:
MONDAY JUNE 8, 6:30 P.M.,
via Zoom
Summer is here! Maybe you planted a garden for the first time during the pandemic. Keeping it properly watered is important. It takes energy to clean and transport water and to handle wastewater after use. According to Project Drawdown (www.drawdown.org) 30 percent of home water use occurs outdoors, while another 10 percent is lost to leaks.
Water use for irrigation can be reduced or eliminated by using captured rainwater, shifting to plants that do not require it, installing drip irrigation, or turning off the spigot entirely.
If you are interested in getting involved with the Creation Care ministry at Saint Mark's, consider attending the next meeting on Monday, June 8. Email
marjorie@ringness.org
for the Zoom link or with any questions.

"Is EfM for me?"—An Introduction to Education for Ministry
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 7 P.M.,
via Zoom
If you have attended Saint Mark's for some time, you have probably heard about
Education for Ministry

But what it is really like to participate in an EfM class? What sort of work is required? What happens at the class meetings? Are there exams??? Please consider attending a Zoom forum on Wednesday evening, June 10, to learn all about what EfM is... and what it isn't! Canon Cristi Chapman will be the host, and Saint Mark's team of EfM mentors will be the panelists. Contact
cchapman@saintmarks.org

Resources to Support Protesters and Racial Equity in Western Washington
Earlier this week, a message was sent out that included a link to the
list of resources
which cathedral clergy and staff have compiled of resources and recommendations for learning about and confronting racism and white supremacy in our selves, our community, and our nation.
The diocese of Olympia has compiled an additional list here
. We hope this resources provide support for the difficult work that we are being called to do to dismantle unjust systems, institutions, and ideologies and create a society in which the dignity of every human being is respected.

A note on Zoom links...
We have all very quickly become used to using the Zoom teleconferencing platform in so many areas of our lives, from work meetings to classes to socializing. At the same time, the phenomenon of "
Zoom bombing
," when uninvited guests invade meeting to cause disruption, has become a real threat. The nature of the disruption has in some instances gone well beyond the level of mere practical jokes. For this reason
we must become more careful about openly posting Zoom links in public
. (This includes this weekly
Sundays & Beyond
email, which is made
publicly available
.) All Zoom meetings and events will be publicized with the organizer's email address. Please do not hesitate to write a very brief email, and they will respond with the link to join. If at any time it is unclear how to get the link, simply email
info@saintmarks.org
. Thank you for your understanding.
