The Big Way of Love for Kids
Jesus loved to be with children, so we are thrilled to offer a new discipleship resource: The BIG Way of Love for Kids. It’s a set of playing cards and activities to help our kids to become the BIG, beloved children of God they were created to be.
The BIG Way of Love for Kids comes from the Way of Love, a rule of life with seven spiritual practices that help us all to look, live, and love more like Jesus.
Order sets of playing cards in the custom box or print a set at home for kids to color. The cards guide children to explore Bible stories, listen, pray, learn, and practice. They can play alone and with friends, church teachers, or family. Jesus meets us everywhere where we go, so this resource is easy to take everywhere you go.
Celebrate Christmas with Gratitude and United Thank Offering
The United Thank Offering (UTO) of the Episcopal Church offers several things to make your holidays bright. They have the following available.
Free Christmas Gratitude Game
There are so many things to give thanks for during the Christmas season and UTO wants to help you and your friends/family share your Christmas stories of gratitude this holiday season. Just print out the cards and game board and gather round to share your stories as you work your way to the end of the game.
Free Printable Letter to Santa
If you’re looking for a way to help a child you love think about their Christmas list differently then we’ve got a free printable for you! This one page letter offers fill in the blank areas. One way to show Santa how Nice you’ve been this year, is to tell him what you’re grateful for! Next, there are categories for gifts the child might like. (We love that it asks them to think about something to share…this can be a gift they donate or something they can share with a relative or neighbor.)
2024 UTO Christmas Cards
Christmas is a time when many of us try to buy the perfect gift for someone to show them how much they mean to us, so what better way to say thank you then giving a gift in their honor to the United Thank Offering? 100% of your donation will go towards the 2024 Ingathering and be given away in 2025 to support projects addressing Matthew 25 and water projects.
D365
These devotions are written by ministers, professors, students, teachers, missionaries, denominational leaders, and others who work with and care for students. D365 will highlight the season of Advent with the theme, “Following the Star.” D365.org is a joint partnership of The Episcopal Church Office for Youth Ministries, Presbyterian Youth and Triennium Office and Ministries of the Presbyterian Church USA, and the Congregational Life Office of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. Available in English and Spanish.

Episcopal Relief & Development Advent Toolkit
Join Episcopal Relief & Development this Advent to create, learn and pray. Their Advent Toolkit includes DIY projects for families and communities that will take you from Advent to Christmas and through Epiphany.
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.
