Come celebrate and pray with the people of Church of the Redeemer. There will be a service of Renewal of Ministry with the Welcoming of a New Rector on Tuesday, May 19, 2015, at 6:30 pm. Church of the Redeemer is at 6211 Northeast 182nd Street, in Kenmore, Washington.
Fr. Jedediah (Jed) Fox started as rector of Redeemer on January 1, 2015. At such times, it is appropriate for everyone to recommit to their ministries.
This service will have festive hymns and music, led by Sheila Bristow, organist and choirmaster with the Church of the Redeemer Choir. Also, there will be music for hammered dulcimer by Sharon Graber and cello by Nathan Whittaker.
Everyone is welcome. There is no admission charge. A reception follows the service.
The Rev. Jedediah Fox, Rector of Redeemer
Fr. Jed Fox was born and raised in Helena, Montana. After graduating from Carroll College in Helena, he attended the General Theological Seminary in New York City. After graduation from seminary in 2009, Fr. Fox served through the end of 2014 as curate and assistant to the rector of the Church of St. Michael and St. George in Clayton, Missouri.
Fr. Jed is married to Mary Beth Jäger, MSW. They have a son, Jaeger, born on September 10, 2014.
Fr. Fox said “I am so glad the Holy Spirit has brought Mary Beth, Jaeger, and me to the people of Redeemer. I look forward to joining with them as we travel more deeply into the Risen life of Christ our Redeemer.”
The Rt. Rev. Gregory Rickel, Bishop of Olympia
Leading the worship will be the Rt. Rev. Gregory Rickel, Eighth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia. Bishop Rickel embraces a radical hospitality that welcomes all. It makes no difference where a person is on their journey of faith.
Bishop Rickel envisions a church that is a safe and authentic community. In this church a person can explore God’s infinite goodness and grace as revealed in the life and continuing revelation of Jesus Christ.
As Bishop of Olympia, Rickel has articulated a vision with three main mission focus points: congregational development, concentration on those 35 years of age and under, and stewardship of all creation.

The Rev. Andrew Archie, Rector of St. Michael and St. George
Preaching at this service will be the Rev. Andrew J. Archie, Rector of the Church of St. Michael and St. George in Clayton, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. Fr. Archie has been rector of that congregation for 10 years.
Church of the Redeemer
Community life at Redeemer centers on worship in the Episcopal tradition. Art and music vitally deepen this worship. Our faith expresses itself with service to people, locally to internationally.
Church of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. We are a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
