You are invited to a time of prayer and contemplation to settle your spirit for the season of Advent. Join the Rev. Danae Ashley and the Rev. Theresa Newell for a quiet afternoon mini retreat in the Parish Hall at Episcopal Church of the Redeemer. This free Advent Quiet Afternoon runs from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm on December 7, 2024.
Everyone in the community is welcome. You do not need to be a member of Church of the Redeemer. Why not invite your friends and come with them? You do not need to sign-up in advance.

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.
