And Mary said,
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…Luke 1:46-47, NRSV
Dear Fellow Parishioners,
What a story we have made in 2025 here at Redeemer! From Rev. Fox leaving and Rev. Newell’s selection as priest-in-charge to our engagement with Relèven to space sharing with our Ethiopian Orthodox siblings to our changing political climate to our ongoing connections with each other, Redeemer has not been idle! It is now time to think about 2026 and how we want to grow, how we share our words, our actions, our love, and our joy with each other and community around us.
Many of us have been at Redeemer for some time. Some of us are fairly new, welcome! Each of us is called to discern anew how to support our common life here at Redeemer. Your gifts of time, participation, talents, and of course, monetary support is what allows Redeemer gather in common worship and mission. We, together, worship via our wonderful liturgies. We, together, maintain our physical location. We, together, pay our staff and our bills. We, together, share the good news of Christ to the world around us.
As part being together, it is time to complete and return our 2026 pledge cards. Even if your pledge is $1 a year, that pledge, that connection, is just as important as every other pledge. If you can increase your pledge to help with the rising costs, thank you! If you can only keep your pledge the same, thank you! If you must lower your pledge because life happens, thank you! It is your connection and support of Redeemer that is symbolized in your pledge that matters.
Tell out my soul! The Greatness of the Lord!
Your Vestry,
Susan, Jordan, Jill, Richard, Gina, Carolyn, Eric, Megan, Earl
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.
