CATHEDRAL COMMONS
What is Intergenerational Ministry?
WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in Bloedel Hall and on Zoom. Optional community dinner in Bloedel Hall at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family)
The Cathedral Commons forum on Wednesday, May 14, will be an opportunity to focus on what it means for us as a church community to be intergenerational, and why that matters. Presenters will unpack the definitions of multi-generational, cross-generational, and intergenerational, and talk about why intergenerationality is one of three core mutual ministry goals at Saint Mark's. We'll look at some of where we've been as a cathedral community, and where we are heading! Intergenerationality isn't a program or an event, it's a culture, a way of being and doing church together. It's also important for us to name that while intergenerational is not code for children and families, ministry with children and youth is always intergenerational. The forum will be a chance to share some of the lessons learned at the hybrid workshop for ministry leaders on Thursday, May 9 (see below).

SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2–3 P.M., Museum of History and Industry, 860 Terry Ave N, Seattle. Sign up required for special rate.
Hosted by 20s/30s—All are welcome
Pink for girls? Pants for boys? From color to cut, what we wear is infused with our era’s ideas about gender. Designers may emphasize “masculine” or “feminine” elements on a garment or create a “unisex” look, but the rules around what those words mean change over time. Join MOHAI Curator of Collections and Saint Mark's 20s/30s member Clara Berg for an intimate, in-person, one-hour session to view historic fashions in MOHAI’s collection which align with, deviate from, and expand our ideas about gendered clothing.
The Saint Mark's group will attend the session at 2 p.m.—some may choose to arrive early (1 p.m.) to visit the museum’s exhibits and/or join after (3:30 p.m.) for snacks and refreshments at a restaurant nearby the museum.
Tickets are required for Behind the Seams admission. A limited number of discounted tickets from Saint Mark’s are available ($20). Sign up here.

SUNDAY, MAY 12, 12:30–2 P.M., in Cathedral House Room 210
NOTE CORRECTED DATE. DISCUSSION IS ONE WEEK FROM THIS SUNDAY.
For its June gathering, the Second Sunday Book Group is reading the award-winning book The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl (2006) by New York Times journalist and a Seattleite Timothy Egan. It chronicles the hopes of people who moved to the high plains and the Texas panhandle in search of a living or a fortune and the terrible retribution nature exacts when abused. From 1930–1935, nearly a million people left their farms, their dead animals, their stunted crops, and their destroyed towns. Thousands died from inescapably swallowing and inhaling the swirling topsoil. Some stayed; some survived; some were heroes. This is a cautionary tale about trifling with nature.
The Saint Mark's Book Group meets on the second Sunday of even-numbered months. Contact Pearl McElheran with questions.

Changes to the Thursday Morning 7 a.m. Service
For many years, a small but faithful congregation has gathered together at 7 a.m. each Thursday for worship and fellowship. This offering went online in 2020, and when in-person worship resumed, it was decided that the Thursday morning offering would remain online-only for two Thursdays a month (2nd and 4th Thursdays), with an in-person Eucharist offered on the remaining Thursdays. With Daily Morning Prayer now offered at 7:30 a.m., Monday–Friday, there is now a NEW LINK for the online 7 a.m. service. Starting now, use this link to join at 7 a.m. on the 2nd and 4th Thursday. This link can be found on the cathedral website—on the Worship Schedule page, the Events Calendar, and elsewhere. All are welcome to these online services, or to the in-person Eucharist on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Thursdays. Time for fellowship follows the liturgies .

EVERY SUNDAY, DURING THE 9 A.M. SERVICE
Children's Chapel is offered on Sunday during the 9 a.m. Sunday service. All children are invited to join the Gospel procession and gather around the Deacon as the Gospel is proclaimed. Then children pre-school through 2nd grade will process to Thomsen Chapel for storytelling, singing, and prayer. Parents are welcome to join their children. They return to their families in the nave at the Peace. If you have any questions or would like to help out, please contact Canon Wendy Claire Barrie at: wbarrie@saintmarks.org

Each week, those for whom the community has been asked to pray are published each Friday afternoon in the Cathedral Prayer List, found as a PDF at saintmarks.org/prayer
On that same page, find information about joining the cathedral's Prayer Chain, to receive emails about individual prayer requests as they are submitted. The prayer list is also available in printed form in the back of the nave.
