People at Episcopal Church of the Redeemer will be reading and discussing Stephanie Spellers’ latest book, Church Tomorrow? What the ‘Nones’ and ‘Dones’ Teach Us About the Future of Faith. Through this book, we learn how we can better be church, carrying Christ’s love into the world. Every person interested in this topic should plan on attending. You do not need to be a member of Church of the Redeemer.
Classes will be held in the first alcove off of the Parish Hall in the main church building. View the class schedule, below. On Sundays there is a children’s education class meeting at the same time.
The class is free. However, you will need to buy or borrow the book on your own. Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park is one place you should be able to buy it.
Church Tomorrow?
The Nones, Dones, Unchurched, spiritual-but-not-religious (SBNRs). Call them what you will, they’re a dominant force in American religion and the majority among Millennials and Gen Zers. In Church Tomorrow? Stephanie Spellers presents hard truths about declining religious affiliation in America, paired with stories and wisdom from her interviews with dozens of young people who either grew up with no faith or gave up formal religion.
Class schedule
We will have a break from our education session for Palm Sunday, Easter Day, and the First Sunday after Easter.

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.
