DISCUSSION: THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 7 P.M., via Zoom
Gaza: 60-Minute Warning is the third film in the 2024 Mideast Focus Film Series: Roots of Chaos and Catastrophe.

Watch the film in advance at your convenience here, then join the discussion on Thursday April 18 at 7 p.m. Our guest speaker for the discussion will be Gerri Haynes, is a palliative care consultant, grief and bereavement educator, and past president and (frequent) board member of Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility. For more than 20 years she has organized delegations to the Middle East, including 10 medical delegations that served in Gaza.

Second Sunday Book Group selection for June: The Worst Hard Time
SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 12:30–2 P.M., in Cathedral House Room 210
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. The worst dust storm carried twice as much dirt as was dug out of the Panama Canal. The canal took seven years to dig; the storm lasted a single afternoon. 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.

The deadline to register for a Radix Project small group is today, Friday, April 12, at 5 p.m.
All are welcome to attend the opening plenary conversation, offered via Zoom only on Sunday evening, April 21, 7-8 p.m., whether or not you are participating in a small group.
The theme for the upcoming iteration is Holy Movement: Exploring Journey and Pilgrimage in Scripture. Our Scriptures abound with stories of holy movement—people guided by the Spirit’s call to strike out on a journey to discover God, discover oneself anew, and to see the world with fresh eyes. Radix 12 will draw from six scripture passages that bear witness to how a journey changed their lives, and by extension, all who have followed in their footsteps as people of faith. Check out Dean Thomason's video invitation here.
Register for a small group by submitting the form here. (before 5 p.m. Friday)

The Cathedral Commons forum on Wednesday, April 24, will explore some of the colors, gestures, and symbols we use in liturgy throughout the church year. We often notice that some things stay the same across the year, and some things change. Let’s learn together about what those things are and why these things all come together to form our worship experiences. Do you have specific questions? ("Why do some people bow at the gospel reading?" "Why are the icons covered up sometimes?" "Why do they use tree branches to sprinkle us?") Submit your question ahead of time using this link. Questions will be compiled and major themes will be addressed during the forum. Join online using this Zoom link.

SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 10:30 A.M.–3 P.M., registration required for lunch
Check out Bishop Skelton and Dean Thomason's video invitation to Cathedral Day 2024!
Cathedral Day is a “family reunion” for Episcopalians from across western Washington—a time for connecting across communities, experiencing your cathedral in a new light... and having a lot of fun. There’s something for everyone—no matter your age! A liturgy of Holy Eucharist with the rites of Confirmation, Reception, and Reaffirmation for candidates from parishes near and far will begin at 10:30 a.m., opening with a grand, colorful procession of parish banners. Following the service, all are invited to enjoy lunch from food trucks and participate in activities for all ages. (Food truck lunch free with registration.)
This year’s Cathedral Day is Saturday, April 27, and celebrates the idea of pilgrimage, with Saint Mark’s serving as your sacred destination. For centuries, cathedrals have served as Christian pilgrimage sites, drawing people of faith into the orbit of wonder and awe. And so this year, all are encouraged to consider the day’s journey as a pilgrimage to your cathedral. Saint Mark's parishioners are especially encouraged to attend, both to participate in a very special occasion, and to help extend hospitality to visitors, many of whom will be visiting their cathedral for the first time. Learn more and find the link to register here.

Behind the Seams at MOHAI
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.
Questions? Email Rose Hazard: pinuprose90@gmail.com

Pastoral Care Update
The cathedral clergy are available to parishioners in need of pastoral care, and the best way to contact a priest after hours for urgent concerns (e.g. emergency hospitalization, serious injury, etc.) is by calling or texting them on their personal cell phones. These numbers are readily available to all parishioners via the Parish Directory (accessible via a link in the upper right of the cathedral website) or the Church Life mobile app. If you have not yet installed this app on your phone, we encourage you to do so—it is a great resource. Erik Donner can assist you with downloading the app or can simply provide you with the priests’ numbers himself; email edonner@saintmarks.org or call 206.323.0300 ext. 217.
For non-urgent pastoral messages, call the church office and leave a voicemail message, either for one of the priests or in the general mailbox. You can also email prayer requests anytime to prayers@saintmarks.org. Thanks!

Thomsen Chapel Doors Restoration Project to Begin mid-April
The doors to Thomsen Chapel are a signature feature of the Cathedral’s façade, and after a century of weather, they are in need of restoration. Through a gift in memory of Don and Alice Jean Lewis, the doors will be removed for a time while the artisan rebuilds, refinishes and seals the doors in the workshop. A key aspect of the project is that the aesthetic elements of the doors’ ironworks and finish will be retained given their historic importance. A temporary door system will be installed while the project unfolds to allow for entry as usual while securing the chapel as well. For more information, contact Dean Thomason.

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.
