Update on the Popal Family (and a New Request for Help)
The Popals have now moved to their new apartment in the Shoreline area! They are excited about the location, as it's just 3 minutes away from friends, plus they've already met another Afghan family in the building (with a boy Mustafa's age!) also newly settling in.
They moved off the Saint Mark's Cathedral campus on Tuesday of last week, and express their sincerest thanks for the warm welcome and many gifts and thoughtful donations received as they begin life in the U.S. Upon arriving in Seattle, they didn't know if refugees would be welcomed, but Fareda recently conveyed with a lot of relief, "this feels like a place for me too!" All of the waves hello in the parking lot, smiles, play-dates with other families with kids, help riding the bus together, Wednesday night dinner in Bloedel, the wonderful help moving to Shoreline, and notes of encouragement have all made a big impact and made them feel like they have a Seattle family here for them. The Saint Mark's community, along with the Diocese of Olympia Refugee Resettlement Office, will continue sponsorship and support of the Popal family as they integrate into life in the U.S.
Here is a new, updated sign-up sheet of needed items:
Notes of encouragement are also still very much welcomed and go a long way! Thank you for your generosity towards the Popal family. Here are some snapshots the family took of the kids in the Saint Mark's apartment, and on the Saint Mark's Quilt Ministry quilt:

CATHEDRAL COMMONS
Hymns as Spiritual Nourishment
TWO WEDNESDAYS, MARCH 8 & 15, 6:45-8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall only. Optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family).
Canon Kleinschmidt will lead a two-part exploration of the wonderful world of hymns on Wednesday evenings, March 8 and 15. Focusing on the hymns we will sing this Lent and Holy Week, the discussion will attempt to answer questions such as: Why do some hymns touch our hearts more than others? What ingredients of word and melody do our most enduring hymns share? How may I participate in singing a hymn in church, even when I am unfamiliar with the melody? How may hymns enrich my own devotional life? We will sing, we will laugh, and we may even shed a tear or two in our exploration together.

Climate Conversation for March
TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 6:30 P.M., online via Zoom only
The next offering in the popular series of Climate Conversations will be on the subject of reuse. With ecommerce and nearby stores making shopping easy, our natural tendency is to buy new items all the time. From Rent the Runway and Amazon Renewed to King County Repair Events and Goodwill, and more, there are plenty of ways to buy high quality pre-loved items so we can reuse them or to sell and donate so that others can reuse our items. We’ll discuss the concept of reuse and then provide a multitude of practical suggestions on how to reuse items or enable reuse of things we want or need in our everyday lives. Please note that Climate Conversations will be offered on the second Tuesday of the month, at 6:30 p.m., going forward.
Also, note that the Creation Care Ministry meeting will, for February only, occur on the fourth Tuesday of the month (rather than the third), February 28, at 6:30 p.m., online via Zoom only. Visit the Creation Care website for more information, or email ministry leader Marjorie Ringness to receive the Zoom link to join.

Notice that the Second Restated Bylaws were adopted on February 5, 2023
In 2022, the Washington legislature revised the Non-Profit Corporations Act (RCW 24.03A) which applies to St. Mark’s. The Vestry undertook to revise the St. Mark’s Bylaws to comply with the new statute. The most significant revisions relate to rights of transparency and participation by members in a non-profit. While The Vestry usually votes on any Bylaws revisions, because the revisions under the new statute impact member rights they were voted on by Parish Communicants in Good Standing at the Annual Meeting on February 5, 2023. The proposal to amend the bylaws was approved unanimously. A copy of the revisions to the Bylaws can be found at this link.

The Seattle Choral Company presents: The Fruit of Silence featuring John Rutter’s Requiem
SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 8 P.M., in the cathedral nave; Pre-concert talk with director Freddie Coleman at 7 p.m.
The Seattle Choral Company (A Saint Mark's Cathedral Artist-in-residence choir) presents their mid-season concert featuring three works on a theme of darkness giving way to light. Widely recognized by musicians worldwide, John Rutter is beloved for his lush melodies and orchestrations. Rutter’s Requiem is unmistakably optimistic in its message of hope and solace, expressed through uplifting musical themes and beautiful texts in both Latin and English. Bob Chilcott’s Canticles of Light exudes comfort, and the texts, sung at the service of Compline in the evening and Matins in the morning, ask for God’s light to protect us through the night and to allay our fears. In 2013 Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks set Mother Teresa’s universal prayer of peace to music, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that has become a staple for choirs around the world. More information and tickets are available here.
