There is also a guide to hosting an alternative gift market and the Gifts for Life catalog from Episcopal Relief and Development.
- First Sunday of Advent. Create an Advent wreath and offer your prayers and reflections.
- Second Sunday of Advent. Create a creche to tell the story of the birth of Jesus.
- Third Sunday of Advent. Add to your creche to learn what Jesus needs to grow and thrive.
- Fourth Sunday of Advent. Jesus is born and The Kings arrive.
Advent season prayers
Prayers are the most powerful support Episcopal Relief and Development receives. They strengthen them for the good work God has given them to do and for that they are grateful. Please share these prayers with friends and invite them to join Episcopal Relief and Development in prayer as well.

Words That Inspire. Deeds That Transform.
“Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” — Matthew 25:40 (NRSV, extracted from our mandate 25:37-40)
For over 80 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has been working together with supporters and partners for lasting change around the world. Each year the organization facilitates healthier, more fulfilling lives for more than 3 million people struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster and disease. Inspired by Jesus’ words in Matthew 25, Episcopal Relief & Development leverages the expertise and resources of Anglican and other partners to deliver measurable and sustainable change in three signature program areas: Women, Children and Climate.
We take our mandate from the words of Jesus, found in Matthew 25:37-40, that call us to feed the hungry, care for the sick and welcome the stranger.

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 6220 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.
