Hi All,

Here's  a quick review of upcoming plans, including information about Compline at St. Mark's this Sunday night.

There are 3 important dates that we want to highlight now.

First: Sunday, March 20th, evening Compline at St. Mark's.  If you know about this 55 year old weekly tradition at the Cathedral, than it needs no explanation.  If you don't know--well, then it's hard to explain.  A link here might help a little.  It is a remarkable part of "young culture" in Seattle--but it's strangely "old school" church.  In any case, we're going--and it's a rich experience.  But it takes some time to get there, so here's the plan: let's have the kids all meet up in the Galley on the 8:10 ferry that night.  We'll have the Grace Van and 2 other cars on board and we'll travel from the ferry to St. Mark's, getting there for the 9:30 service.  We'll return on the 10:40 that night, with pick-up at the ferry.

Second: Maundy Thursday at Grace, during Holy Week.  The kids are "required" to be there.  They will help serve the meal, and also participate in foot washing.  It's an important night--meeting at Grace at 5:30.

Third: Good Friday service.  We want the kids simply to attend the service--either of the services.  One is Noon (yep, you could pull them out of school!) the other at 7 pm.  The objective here is simply to experience a service that is unique and likely outside their normal expectations of church.

OK, that's it for now.  Check those dates--and again, thanks for letting us serve your kids.
