HYMNATHON: from Hymn #1 to Hymn #720 in one day!
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 8 A.M. to 6 P.M., in the cathedral nave
Come support Saint Mark's Evensong Choir in their efforts to raise $35,000 in scholarship funds for their Pilgrimage to England next August, where they will serve as Choir-in-Residence for one week each at Lincoln and Durham Cathedrals. On Saturday, November 23, they will sing all 720 hymns between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. (one verse per hymn.)
Stop by and join in singing or listen and watch for as long as you like. Get three friends and family to sponsor you for a dollar per hymn and sing 100 of them. It would take about one hour and you will have raised $300 for the choir pilgrimage! There are many ways to participate and you may learn all about them at the Hymnathon table in the back of the nave during coffee hour on Sundays November 10 and 17.
The kids and adults of the Evensong Choir of Saint Mark's Cathedral, Seattle are raising the funds needed for their 2025 residencies at the cathedrals of Lincoln and Durham by singing one verse of all 720 hymns in the The Hymnal 1982! Learn more here. You can make a donation (perhaps $0.10 per hymn?) at saintmarks.org/give or venmo.com/saintmarkscathedralseattle

Please sing “It is Well with My Soul,” dedicated to Paula Stone and her mother at the Hymnathon this Saturday. I am happy to make a donation of $100.
