Workparty results for October 21, 2023

Thanks to everyone that participated in the Workparty on Saturday, October 21, 2023. As usual, anyone wanting to get out and participate with others was invited. And, the participation was great!  

Seven people participated over the morning, with 5 at Morning Prayer. Following Morning Prayer, we had coffee and donuts, and then broke into groups to get the projects completed.

Bill McGlinn said, “I’m pleased to report that most of the work that was scheduled was completed and I wish to thank everyone for their hard work.”   

These projects were completed:

  • Trimming shrubs in the entrance garden.
  • Repairing more trim on Parish Hall window wall, with much of the window ready for painting.
  • Preparing for Sunday worship.

Additionally, a liturgical arts sewing project was started.

Unfortunately no one this month was able to clean the roof drains. We will need to check and clean them later this October or early in November—before the winter rains start.

Bill McGlinn checked the parking lot drains cleaned in September. Water appears to be draining to the street, as designed.

Future workparties

If you were unable to help this month, you will have future chances to meet people and touch some grass. Ongoing maintenance and new programs at Redeemer have needs that you can help with at a workparty.

Please contact Bill McGlinn if you have projects for future workparties. If you have any questions,  contact Bill at bill.mcglinn@redeemer-kenmore.org.

Plan to attend the next workparty in November. Invite friends that might want to get out and do something with others.

The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, reaching out to the world.

Church of the Redeemer

Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world around us. 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.
