WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom.
Free, no registration required. Optional Community Dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family)
led by Dean Steve Thomason and Canon Emily Griffin
The Saint Mark's Vestry has once again authorized Saint Mark’s serving as a Sanctuary Hub, if called upon by the Sanctuary Network in our region. Join Dean Thomason and Canon Emily Griffin as we explore ways to respond compassionately and with intention, guided by our mandate to respect the dignity of every human being. Key to this effort will be a cohort of volunteers to serve in various ways, and we hope to engage in conversation during this evening about how we responsibly do that together. All are welcome—please invite friends who may be similarly inclined.
UPDATE: The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN) is leading a bilingual, virtual Rapid Response Training on Saturday, January 25, from 12–2 p.m. Rapid Response teams are groups of trained individuals who are activated to document and provide support to affected families when activity, raids or detentions by immigration agents are reported in their community. We are hoping to create a Rapid Response team here at Saint Mark’s that can be activated as needed. Register here to learn more about how to get involved.
