Cathedral Day 2025
Cathedral Day is a “family reunion” for Episcopalians from across western Washington. It’s a time for connecting across congregations and experiencing all your cathedral has to offer. Cathedral Day celebrates the idea of pilgrimage, with Saint Mark’s serving as your sacred destination.

God Shots
A "God shot" is a special moment when someone feels that God is truly active and involved in their life. It’s often a time when something amazing happens, and people say, "That was a God Shot!"
We pray you feel God’s presence with you today. Be on the lookout for a God Shot!
God communicates with us every day, in big and small ways. A recent example of a God shot can be seen in our own church. This lovely amaryllis was meant to bloom in white. Instead, the blooms are brilliant red in the shape of a cross. That's a God Shot!
Many thanks to St. John's Altar Guild lead Dana Pitts for sharing these incredible photos with us!
