Commemoration of All Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day)
The Commemoration of All Faithful Departed, or All Souls Day, has been commemorated as a part of the octave of, or eight days following, All Saints’ Day for over a thousand years. While the focus of All Saints’ is, primarily, to remember all the saints, known and unknown, who rejoice in the splendor of the church triumphant, All Souls can be a time to acknowledge the sadness we feel at absence of those who, as the prayer book says, “we love but see no longer.”1

Church of the Redeemer
Welcome to Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.
Church of the Redeemer is at 6210 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. The campus is 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.
