He gets us?

Everyone of faith seems to have an opinion on the “He Gets Us” ads during the Super Bowl. Some are enamored with the concept of reaching out with a message about Jesus to such a broad audience, something Christians don’t seem to be able to access as much in the United States as they once did.

Others question both the expense, somewhere around $100 million, and whether such a vast sum could have been put to better use. There is also the concern about who is funding this and what people will see if they go to the website the ad lead views to. Several sources report that the family which owns Hobby Lobby are among the main backers of the campaign. This family, and its company has become infamous for denial of vaccines, masks, female reproductive health, LGBTQ+ rights and dignity, and participation in the theft of biblical antiquities. They are associated with a brand of Christianity that is looking more and more like the Christian Nationalism. What if, people wonder, the messages of the ads, which promote care for the marginalized (including refugees), compromise, and relationship, are being used as a smokescreen for the getting people into churches that don’t really practice any of the things that these ideas that the ads preach?

I confess that, until this week, I have avoided these ads because of their main conceit—He, being Jesus, gets us. That is undeniable true. God knows exactly what it means to be human, with all of the emotion, excitement, and exquisitely mundane existence that entails. But I don’t believe that’s nearly as important for God, or for us as they why of all that. Why would God do that? Because of love. God loves us before Jesus dwelt among us. At the very moment that God’s hands touched the dirt to form us in the divine image it was an act borne of love. It is that love from which all else springs and that, above all else is the Good News that Jesus made manifest to us, and calls us to make manifest to the world.

The “He Gets Us” campaign lacks the gravity and effect that it could otherwise have because, in a world where information available, people see those who promote these fair words bear fruits that are bitter poison.

In the Gospels, Jesus commends those who go and do as closest to the kingdom. As Episcopalians, we’ve taken this to heart. We love the idea of letting our actions do the talking, and attracting people without have to preach at them. It would be easy, given this, to dismiss “He Gets Us” out of hand. But then there is Jesus who directed us to preach the Gospel—even us Episcopalians. If we are not ready to tell people what drives our actions, how they are a response to loving gifts that God has given us, most especially in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, then we are also failing to fulfill the request of Jesus, to help people understand what God wants, and to jumpstart people’s relationship with God and God’s people.

God, and Jesus, may get us, but I don’t think that was ever the question. How do we choose to respond to God’s unrelenting, fathomless love for us and the world, which Jesus shares? This is the question. It can’t be just words, and it can’t be just actions. It must be both. We must do the work of getting ready for God’s kingdom—bearing fruits like love, peace, patience, etc. And we must share the story to plant the seed that might one day bear fruit. It can only be both. I hope we get that.

Mask policy change effective November 7, 2022
As we continue to evolve with the health landscape 2-½ years into the pandemic, Church of the Redeemer has modified its mask policy, effective November 7, 2022. These guidelines reflect a balance between the widespread access to vaccinations and a sensitivity to those who continue to take a more cautious approach to COVID-19, flu, and RSV infection this winter.
- The Sunday 8:00 am Holy Eucharist continues to be mask required.
- The Sunday 10:30 am Holy Eucharist is mask optional but recommended. This service continues to be streamed at redeemer-kenmore.org.
- All meetings in the church are mask optional but recommended.
- All unvaccinated people should mask in all instances.
- All meetings of the church should make plans to be hybrid.
Church of the Redeemer continues to provide high quality surgical masks and KN95 respirators to those who need or want them. The box containing masks and respirators is in the narthex (the main entryway to the church).

Good news and bad news about Camp Unity

Much has been going on behind the scenes about Camp Unity the last six weeks. We waited until things settled out to update everyone. There is good news and bad news to share.

The good news is that the distribution of Federal housing vouchers gives evidence of the system working to an extent. Only two residents are left at Camp Unity, and they are pretty far into the process of receiving their vouchers. Because of this, the City of Woodinville agreed to allow Camp Unity to remain at St. Theresa of Calcutta Church until the last couple of residents work through their paperwork.

This means that we will not be hosting Camp Unity staring this June. While we were looking forward to serving them, we are glad for things are turning out so well for them.

I am so grateful for to everyone at Church of the Redeemer for our continuing work of faith and prayer.

And now for the bad news. The bad news is that there are still people in our area living with housing insecurity, lacking food, and clothing needs. We help them towards living a life of dignity by working with Hopelink Kenmore Place. However, there is more that we might do, especially as inflation and inequality continue to provide new and escalating threats to people living on the margins.

Camp Unity Eastside

Camp Unity Eastside is more than the average tent city. We like to refer to ourselves as a tent village. The residents aren’t who you might normally expect. They’re a mix of men and women, some employed and others unemployed. Those who leave in the morning for their job or to find affordable housing come back assured they have a place to call their own. A safe and secure place to rest their heads at night.

Hopelink

Since 1971, Hopelink has served homeless and low-income families, children, seniors, and people with disabilities in King and Snohomish counties; providing stability and helping people gain the skills and knowledge they need to exit poverty for good. With service centers in Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, Shoreline and Sno-Valley (Carnation), Hopelink is the largest nonprofit organization in the area.

Hopelink provides a network of critical social services through a number of different programs—including housing, transportation, family development, financial assistance, employment programs, adult education, financial literacy training, and five food banks. The agency’s service centers, housing, and transportation programs help more than 63,000 people every year.

For families experiencing homelessness, transitional and long-term housing as well as emergency family shelter may be available through Hopelink.

Narthex roof repairs

If you come to Redeemer for in-person worship this Sunday, you may notice that the narthex (entry hall) roof looks a little…deconstructed.

Damage to the narthex roof looking at the front doors.

Damage to the narthex roof over the front doors.

Damage to the underside of the narthex roof by the front doors.

Damage to the narthex roof.

We are working with a roofing company to address the deteriorating roof of the narthex. The water intrusion was more extensive than we initially had hoped. However, our contractors are working as quickly as possible repair and replace the compromised members of the structure. This is before they apply a new PVC roof that that should last for the next few decades.

Bequests pay for these repairs

The good news is that we are able to pay for this repair because of generous and faithful people who remembered Redeemer as a part of their estate planning. This kind of giving is one of the main ways that you can enable Church of the Redeemer to be here for future generations, as it was for you.

If you want to know more about how you can add Redeemer to your estate planning, you should speak to a financial advisor and to Fr. Jed, rector@redeemer-kenmore.org

Results of the Parish COVID-19 Survey: Masking
Church of the Redeemer recently conducted a survey about how topics related to the on-going pandemic, as we experience it, including masking. The survey received 25 responses.
- Those who responded attended virtually, in-person, and, in several cases, a mix of both.
- All respondents continue to mask at least sometimes. Several indicated that they always mask.
- The vast majority of respondents indicated that they are in favor of continuing to mask.
- Sentiments ranged as to a metric for when masking in the congregation should end was between 0-150 cases per day in a 7-day average. For context, these are the current measured transmission rates in our area (May 6, 2022):
  - King County is 900 per day average (40 per day per 100,000 people).
  - Snohomish County is 434 per day average (53 per day per 100,000 people).
There were also questions about the re-adoption of the common cup in the Eucharist. That topic will be discussed in a future article.

Where’s the beef?

Why we aren’t eating during Holy Week.

Holy Week approaches, and in years past, that would mean that it’s almost time for us to gather not only at the altar, but also at table for meals. But not this year. This year we will be able to gather at the altar, but we will not at the table.

In the recent masking survey, the vast majority of the respondents indicated that their comfort level includes remaining masked for the time being while indoors. Eating a meal would be in indirect conflict with wearing a mask. I tried drinking coffee without removing my mask on Sunday morning. It went poorly. So, we won’t be gathering for a simple supper in the parish hall on Maundy Thursday. Or eating together in celebration after the Vigil. Or sharing a potluck breakfast between Easter Sunday services—at least not this year.

Eating together is one of the fundamental practices of the Christian faith. One of the things I love about Redeemer is the gusto with which we enjoy eating meals together. It is one of the things that I have missed most in the past two years.

One of the things I have been talking about often with my kid recently is doing the thing that we know is right even when we don’t want to. It is not an easy lesson of a kid, but then again, it’s not an easy lesson for me either.

Choosing what is the right thing to do is an essential act of discernment for us as stewards of God’s love. How we choose to interact with, to make space for each other in the presence of the God who created us and loves us, is the measure of how close we are coming to the heart of God. Choosing to continue to wear masks, to postpone the moment when we sit down to a meal together is hard, but I believe it is the right thing right now; the thing that looks like being a steward of what God has given us in the Church of Redeemer—each other.

I am looking forward to celebrating our journey through the Passion of Jesus on the way to resurrection with you this Holy Week, whether you are joining in-person, virtually, or in prayer. And I hope that soon we can celebrate the resurrection around altar and table.

Here we are again, at the precipice of Lent

Here we are again, at the precipice of Lent. This year I am filled with an excitement for Lent. That is not maybe the response to Lent that you might expect. We think of Lent as a penitential season when we are thinking about the things that keep us from God, and when we give things up, which no one really likes to do. However, for me, this year, thinking about Lent, celebrating it with people for the first time in two years in the sanctuary, I am getting back in touch with what Lent was originally intended to be about—a preparation for joy.

Lent emerged in the early church out of a desire to prepare for the joy of the Resurrection. The church recognized that that joy could be best experienced, most fully realized, if people were not distracted when they began the journey through Holy Week to Easter. So, they began to set aside time to get themselves in order. The forty days before Holy Week were when people were to assess what was going to distract them from the joy of God’s love in the Resurrection, both at Easter and the mini-easter celebrated every Sunday.

Lent was never intended as a time of intentional suffering and misery. There’s more than enough suffering in the world already, far more than God intended. Instead, Lent is an invitation to discipline—which does not mean suffering or punishment—but learning. In Lent we are invited to learn about the things that are coming between us and Gods love and hope for us, and to put those things aside so that we are ready celebrate with joy the Paschal Feast.

Whatever you do to mark Lent this year, I pray that it brings you new learning and a fuller experience of the joy of God’s Love.

Vestry Report on Camp Unity
This Vestry report on Camp Unity was written by Eivind Nilsen, Senior Warden.

Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests;
but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. (Matthew 8:20 NRSV)

I was recently reminded of the above verse from Matthew and this, also from Matthew:

Then the king will say to those at his right hand…I was hungry and you gave me food…. I was a stranger and you welcomed me….The righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food.…And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you?….. And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me’. (from Matthew 25 NRSV)

It seems that perhaps one of the best ways to see the face of Jesus is to look into the face of a homeless person. Save that thought away in a corner of your mind and read on.

Late last summer, Church of the Redeemer was approached by an organization—Camp Unity Eastside which is a faith-based organization that finds host sites, manages and organizes tent communities for the homeless—with a proposal that we host a tent encampment for four months starting in June 2022. After some discussion, the vestry recognized that this held the promise of engaging in a life-changing mission consistent with our faith, values and desire to live out that faith in the world in real and tangible ways. And so, we set about learning more to support our decision to move forward or not.

So, we made a plan:
- Two of our vestry members volunteered to do a little research. Chilton Fowler and Steve Daniel made a visit to the current encampment.
- They spoke with the organizers and with Pastor Anja Helmon of Northlake Lutheran Church, which has been a host twice for the encampment.
- We looked at camp policies.
What did we find?
- A well-run, structured organization with clean and well-managed camps.
- Policies that don’t allow drug or alcohol use and insist on respect and quiet for the church and its neighbors.
- We found Kenmore city and police departments that support Camp Unity encampments.
- We saw that since 2018 there had been thirteen encampments at six different churches and the City of Woodinville. All but one of the churches have hosted two or three times.
- Pastor Anja was overwhelmingly positive about her church’s two times of hosting. The neighbors of Northlake Lutheran had concerns initially, but all—both neighbors and parishioners—found it to be a positive experience.
We decided to move to the next step.

On October 24, a parish town hall was held. Information was presented, questions were answered and comments provided. While there were legitimate concerns raised, such as parking and access that will need further planning, the response was positive. An advisory vote was taken with 85% voting to move forward, 11% undecided and 4% saying we should not do this. The vestry met afterward and voted to proceed.

What’s next?

We have things to do in preparation. And the “what’s next?” question is partly up to you. We are going to need to get organized around this effort including:
- Work with Camp Unity to submit our application for a permit to the City of Kenmore.
- Arrange for question-and-answer sessions with our neighbors.
- Make sure the site requirements are known and ready for the camp.
- Ensure parishioners with mobility issues have adequate parking and workable access to the building.
- Understand and be ready for opportunities to serve the camp occupants including supplying some meals and potentially other help.
- Partner with other faith communities to help in this effort.
- Take the opportunity to further develop our own understanding of our relationship to those who are marginalized in the world.
- Find out, as a part of your faith journey, how you can and want to be involved.
And so, now we come back to that thought that you tucked away in a corner of your mind. Consider how God might be calling you as we move forward with this ministry. Reach out with questions and concerns. Pray. And if you’re in that 11% or 4%, pray and listen. Perhaps you’ll see Jesus in the face of the homeless.

Redeemer reopening update, June 2, 2021

The following is an automatically generated speech-to-text transcript of the video, with slight editing.

The Rev. Jed Fox: Hi, I’m the Reverend Jed Fox, Rector of the Church of the Redeemer in Kenmore, Washington. As we come into summer, I want to give you a little bit of an update on where we are in terms of reopening. We’re hoping to reopen soon, but we’re waiting on a few different things.

First we’re waiting on the furnace.

Yes, the furnace is still broken and yes, we’re very, very hopeful. We’ve been working very, very diligently on getting it fixed, and we’re very hopeful that that’s going to happen this summer. So that is step one. And being able to meet in this space in-person getting the furnace fixed.

Step two is waiting to see what the governor decides to do.

The governor is changing things. He’s said that he’s hoping to reopen the state June 30th and that’s going to come with some differences in restrictions. So that is another variable that we’re having to take into account.

All that being said, we do have a plan for reopening and it goes like this.

We’re going to start having some outdoor worship services at the end of this month, at the end of June. And those outdoor worship services are going to be away for us to get together physically in a much safer space with some restrictions. And there’ll be more about that. More information about how that’s going to look and what you’ll need to do and bring in order to participate in an outdoor worship service very soon on our website.

In July and August, there might, depending on the furnace and the governor, as I said before, be some indoor worship services in this space, again, on a very limited basis. Here’s how I want you to think about it. When someone opens a restaurant, they have what’s called a soft opening. And this is when the cooks and the waiters and everybody in the restaurant sort of gets a feel for what works and how things need to be tweaked, a little bit here and there, either in the menu or in table placement, or how servers are apportioned to different tables and all those other variables that a restaurant has to take into account.

They have the soft opening and they get all the kinks worked out and then they have their big grand opening. We’re going to do basically the same thing.

So, if we can, based on all those other variables I talked about, have people in the building for worship in July and August probably way more towards August, probably towards the end.

We’re going to treat that like a soft opening and these are going to be people who are going to be helping us get ready to reopen the space. And, to work out the kinks of what we need to do to, to be in this space and to do it safely. Because as our number one goal, whether it’s outside worship, whether it’s inside worship, in everything we’re doing, our goal is to make this a safe worshipful experience.

That’s incredibly important. First rule of liturgy is no one gets hurt.

So once we’ve worked out all those kinks, hopefully in July and August, our goal and hope is that on the third Sunday in September, Holy Cross Sunday, the Sunday that we’ve traditionally here at Redeemer opened the program year, we’re going to have a grand reopening of the space. All things being equal, based on a whole bunch of variables, especially those I named at the beginning of this video.

The best we know now we’re going to aim for that third Sunday in September, full reopening of this worship space.

Now hearing this, I know that people might be in one of a few, but three particular places, either one. I’m sure some of you may, maybe even many of you, are very ready to get back to Redeemer. So ready to throw open the doors, get everybody back and be together in worship.

There are probably others of you who are maybe not ready. Not sure you’re ready yet. I don’t know if I’m ready. I don’t know if I’m not ready. I need more information.

And maybe there are others of you who are just very confident in the fact that you’re not really ready to be here yet.

And I have something to say to each of those groups.

First to those who are really ready to get back. I understand I’m really ready to get back, too. Please be patient with us as we make sure that we can do this safely. And, if there’s anything you want to offer, anything that you think you could help add to, to getting us ready to do this in a safe and healthy way and intentional way, please let me know. You know, how to get in touch with me I hope by now.

For those people who were in that middle group, that you’re not sure whether you’re ready or you’re not ready and you need more information, please reach out. I want to make sure that you have all the information that, we can give you, that I can give you about what our plan is and how we intend to do this in an intentional and safe way. And then you can, use that information to figure out where you might want to be, whether hearing everything that we’re doing, you’re ready to come back or you’re still not ready. Even, getting all the information that you were wanting.

And for those who are not ready to come back, that’s okay. We’re not going to stop streaming. So if that is useful to you in that interim time to see, to be a part of worship at distance via these virtual means that we’ve been using for the last almost 16 months, don’t worry. That’s not going away. It probably is never going to go away. The church will be here for you and we’re going to work very hard to make sure that you still feel a part of it. You are no less a part of this church. If you can’t be here physically, either because your body won’t allow you or because you just don’t feel ready yet, you are still a part of this church and we’re going to work very hard to ensure that you feel that way.

And we interact with you that way. And when you get to that point where you might feel ready to come back, we want to make sure that we welcome you back with open arms.

Now you may be feeling a whole bunch of other different ways, and you might feel like you need to talk it out with me. Please. Let me know what questions you have. Come and talk to me: my door, my phone, my email are open for you to chat with me about this.

This is not the last time I’m going to be making a video like this, this summer. You know, things are going to change. That’s the one rule I’ve learned throughout this pandemic is that I make a suggestion, particularly if I put it on video, things change.

And so as things change, I hope that I’ll be able to work with you and you can work with me to be able to go forward intentionally in reopening Redeemer when it’s safe, in a way that is good for all the people, whether they’re ready to come back and need more information or are waiting for just a little bit longer to come back.

So be watching this space, wherever you’re viewing this video for more information about more of the details about what reopening is going to look like as we move forward. And until we see you again, may God’s blessing be with you, Christ’s peace be with you, and the Spirit’s outpouring be with you. Amen.
