Choral Evensong observing the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 4:30 P.M., in the cathedral nave and livestreamed
Come hear the story of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple and enter into it with your heart, mind, and voice at eventide on Sunday, February 4. The Feast of the Presentation is a liminal point in the church calendar—when our focus on Jesus’ Incarnation turns from his birth to his ministry, death, and resurrection. Accordingly, the prayers and praises on this occasion are rich in contrasting themes. Light and shadow, promises kept and promises made, hopes and fears, the past and the future—all meet in the Feast of the Presentation. The Evensong Choir will offer a buoyant setting of the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis composed in 1965 by Bryan Kelly, and Conrad Susa's rollicking setting of George Herbert's poem, The Shepherds Sing.

Climate Conversation for February—Innovations to Stop Global Warming
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8 , 6:30–7:30 P.M., online via Zoom only
From data for farmers to improve crop yield and fabrics made of agricultural waste to electric ferries or planes and planet-friendly pet food, start-ups are developing highly innovative solutions that are good for people and the planet. Learn about everything from leading-edge innovations that are breaking technical boundaries to ones you can use every day. As a takeaway, we’ll discuss how you can also help reduce climate change by using some of these ideas, as research shows that concerted efforts by early adopters may drive growth of new technologies.
These Climate Conversations happen on the second Thursday of each month (although please note that March's conversation will be offered on the first Thursday, March 7, instead). Go here to register for the zoom link and be a part of this interesting conversation. Email Richard Hartung if you have questions: richard@transcarta.com

Mardi Gras), February 21, in the cathedral nave, 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, and the youth of the cathedral will be decorating and assisting in the celebration. 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—see a glimpse of what the Closing of the Doors looked in years past here.) Finally, on the patio, palms are burned to create the ashes for the Ash Wednesday services the next day.
Volunteers are needed to arrive at 5 p.m. on Tuesday to assist in setting up the nave. If you can help out, please email Canon Barrie: wbarrie@saintmarks.org
