Welcome Sunday's Guest Preacher: The Rev. Fadi Diab
GUEST SERMON THIS SUNDAY, JULY 16, at the 9 and 11 a.m. services
"FRIENDS TALKING" FORUM: 10:10–10:50 A.M., Bloedel Hall
Saint Mark's cathedral is delighted to welcome The Rev. Fadi Diab, Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Ramallah, Palestine, his wife Ruba, and son Andrew, to Saint Mark's Cathedral this Sunday.
Rev. Diab is a well-respected theologian in the Palestinian community and a prophetic voice for justice and peace. He also provides leadership and pastoral support to the Arab Evangelical Episcopal School (AEES), the Episcopal Technological & Vocational Training Center (ETVTC), and the Diocesan-sponsored Diabetes & Cardiovascular Clinic, which provides outpatient treatment to those suffering from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. He is also the Rector of a sister parish to St. Andrew's, St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Birzeit, which is constructing a retirement home and senior center. In August of 2022, St. Andrew’s was forcibly entered and severely damaged by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) in an early-morning raid targeting the human rights group Al-Haq, whose offices were located in an adjacent building. This raid was condemned by the Diocese of Jerusalem and international organizations.
Fr. Fadi will preach at both the 9 and 11 a.m. services this Sunday, and all three members of the family will participate in a "Friends Talking" Forum in Bloedel Hall at 10:10 a.m., where they will share the experiences of Palestinian Christians in the West Bank today.

THIS SUNDAY, JULY 16, 10 P.M., following Compline
Canon Michael Kleinschmidt will offer this month's Organ by Night music following Compline this Sunday, July 16. His program will include Edward Elgar's Nimrod from the "Enigma" Variations. This famously lush, Romantic selection will be framed by 20th-century minimalist works by Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt, which showcase the timbral resources of the Mighty Flentrop in unfamiliar and beautiful ways. (This recital will not be livestreamed.)
On every third Sunday of the month, organists offer 20 minutes of music on the mighty Flentrop organ, and encourage listeners to join them in the gallery to see and hear the organ and organist up close. They are also happy to answer questions about the music and the organ itself.

Questioning Together + Compline
SUNDAY, AUGUST 6, 7:30–10 P.M., Leffler House

Each month we'll explore a question of faith together with a facilitator providing background on the topic before open discussion.

Join for a conversation to explore how different social, political and geographic landscapes can provide different contexts of expressing faith with Canon Elise Johnstone Rector of St. John the Baptist, West Seattle. Dessert will be served! At 9:15, we'll head over to Compline together. Check out the schedule of upcoming Topics and facilitators here. Questions? Email Emily: emcmeeks@gmail.com

Climate Conversation for August: Stay Stylish with Climate-friendly Clothing Choices
THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 6:30–7:30 P.M., online via Zoom
Climate-friendly clothing is surprisingly stylish and choosing better makes a difference. The fashion industry creates about 10 percent of total global carbon emissions. Choosing clothes better, caring for them well, keeping them longer and giving them away rather than trashing them can make a big difference. We’ll discuss how to choose and care for our clothes better, from buying and washing them to mending clothing and donating it. Our discussion will center around ideas from participants for choosing and caring for clothes.
These monthly conversations are held on environmentally-friendly Zoom on the second Thursday evening of each month.
Check out this page to find materials, slides, and videos of past conversations in this series—over a full year's worth of conversations at this point!

This Week at the Tent City 3 Meal Sharing Ministry
This year, the Meal Sharing Ministry has introduced a different way for the parish to engage with the meal service to the Tent City 3 residents. Certain Sunday evenings are set aside for volunteers from specific ministry groups. At this time, five ministry groups have committed to staff six of the Sunday evenings suppers. (Yes, one group is doing two different Sundays.)
July 9 was the first Sunday such a group came to make and serve dinner… and it was the 20s & 30s! Their presence filled the kitchen and Bloedel Hall with conversation and plenty of laughter as they cooked, set the tables with utensils and flowers, greeted the guests, served the meal, and made time to sit down to dine with our guests.
Thirteen guests plus one dog—the dog just shared the space, not the dinner—enjoyed a meal of Momo chicken served over coconut rice, a tossed green salad, a fresh fruit plate, and a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce along with lemonade and a variety of fruit drinks. There was also a vegetarian black bean chili which was packed up in the compostable clamshells and delivered to those who could not attend dinner.
We thank Connor Harrison, Erika Sutkus, Catherine Basl, Whitt Massey, Meshach Padilla, Dawn Thomas, Chris Rigos, Christopher Breunig, Sandy Piscitello, Hilary McLeland-Wieser, and Emily and Stuart Meeks for making time to socialize and be a friend.
Check out a few photos below. More photos and reports from previous weeks can be read here.

Creation Care Stories
The Creation Care Ministry has begun a Story Sharing Project to allow parishioners to share actions they are taking related to Creation Care, as a way for parishioners to share their good work and to encourage others to help reduce climate change. What actions are you taking? Let the community know! Stories can be about anything you are doing, large or small, to care for Creation and mitigate climate change. Stories can take the form of a brief written essay, a video, a photo album, an infographic, or a piece of podcast-style audio. Sharing these stories can help others to learn, lead to new ideas about what to do, and be an inspiration for others to take action too. Check out this page to learn how to submit your own story.
Here are the first three stories that have been shared: Creation Care Stories, Volume 1. In this installment Elizabeth Clark-Stern reflects on choosing to eat vegan, Marjorie Ringness shares a strategy for saving water in the kitchen, and Richard Hartung writes about buying second-hand.
