This Lent, Seminary of the Southwest is offering a new Lenten project that invites the wider church into a season of renewal and hope

Designed to accompany the first five weeks of Lent, the series creates space for prayer, conversation, and faithful reflection on repentance, discipleship, and the promise of new life. Shaped by the voices of five women members of our faculty, these gatherings reflect both the depth of Southwest’s theological life and our commitment to forming leaders for ministry, service, and healing. 

Rooted in the Lenten journey, this project offers a hopeful reminder that even in times of change, God is at work bringing new life.

For each week of Lent (excluding Holy Week) one of our contributors will create:

  • An 8 to 10-minute video on a specific theme of that week
  • 3–5 discussion or reflection questions

About Seminary of the Southwest

At Seminary of the Southwest, leaders are formed. The seminary forms leaders for the following:

  • Ministry in the church.
  • Healing in our communities.
  • Service in a rapidly changing world.

They do this formation with great intention and care, with active and accessible faculty members who not only challenge the students but challenge each other. The seminary continually updates its curriculum to provide fresh answers to old questions, while maintaining a tradition of excellence and faith that is the cornerstone of Southwest’s identity.

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.
