Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, Kenmore

[ April 1, 2010; 7:30 pm; ] Please join us this Holy Week for an evening Maundy Thursday service and Gesthemane Vigil.

The word “Maundy” in this day’s title comes from the Latin word “mandatum” which means “commandment”. It is taken from the Gospel according to John’s account of Jesus’ washing of the disciples’ feet at the Last Supper.

On this day we rejoice [...]

[ March 28, 2010; 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. ] Please join us on Palm Sunday for a single 10:00 A.M. service, beginning with a procession from the Undercroft to the Nave.

Actually, the correct title of this first day of Holy Week is not “Palm Sunday”, but rather “The Sunday of the Passion.”

The central experience of all worship at Redeemer is communion with Christ and [...]

[ March 13, 2010; 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm. ] Cellist extraordinaire Nathan Whittaker will perform J. S. Bach’s Suite #5 in c minor for this service of music and readings.

[ February 17, 2010; 12:00 pm to 12:30 pm. ] We will be having Noonday Prayer and Imposition of Ashes at 12:00 on Wednesday, February 17th.

My Goal, as Holy Week Coordinator, is to help [...]

[ February 13, 2010; 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. ]

Save the date! On Saturday, February 13th we are having a Pre-Lent Pot Luck Dinner. Bring a dish to share with your friends and we will supply the music. Remember, fasting can seem long during Lent, so you might want to bring something you will miss: meat, chocolate, dessert, etc.

The dinner will follow the 5pm [...]

[ December 31, 2009; 7:00 pm to 7:40 pm. ] Start your New Year’s Eve right! Drop by Redeemer on the way to your night’s festivities, and greet the coming year in Christ’s name with an evening Eucharist.

There will be no Morning Prayer on January 1st, for obvious reasons.

[ December 20, 2009; 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. ] Did you grow up at Redeemer?* If you are 12 through 20-something, or if you are in good enough shape to tote barges, lift bales, run back and forth from the 3rd floor to the undercroft and then scale ladders in a single bound, please join us on Sunday, December 20th at around 1 [...]
