SUMMARY:In-person Holy Eucharist
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome at Church of the Redeemer. We look forward to seeing you at this 8:00 am Sunday service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. It is in-person only. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

SUMMARY:Shape Note singing
DESCRIPTION:Shape Note\, or Sacred Harp\, is a singing tradition with roots from England. In North America\, it traveled through New England to Appalachia and the Ozarks. Today people take part around the world in this tradition of shape note signing. We regularly sing hymns today that started from this tradition. Through the Pacific Northwest Sacred Harp Singers (PNWSHS)\, this music will come to the parish hall at Church of the Redeemer on two Sunday afternoons. Come\, take part from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on March 29\, and April 26. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is no admission or membership dues. A collection will be taken to cover expenses. The PNWSHS invites anyone and everyone. This singing will use the 2025 Denson Edition of The Sacred Harp. Loaner books will be available. \n\n\n\nChurch of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore\, Washington. \n\n\n\nWhat is a shape note singing?\n\n\n\nA shape note “singing” is not a church service. On the contrary\, it is a group of people coming together to sing. It is democracy in action. “We are not Baptist\, Jews\, Episcopalians and atheists. We are altos\, tenors\, trebles and basses. And we know we need each other to do this” (NPR). \n\n\n\nThere is no professional shape note singers or concerts. This music is participatory by people\, with or without music education. \n\n\n\nThere are unique harmonies in this music. Jeannette Sorrell describes it this way\, “It’s just a texture that\, in a way sounds somewhat medieval — many open fifths and open fourths; things like that” (WFMT). \n\n\n\nWhile there is no professional shape note singers\, professional groups have used music from this tradition. For example\, the Tudor Choir has a Christmas album of music collected by Karen Willard’s An American Christmas Harp. Chanticleer has recorded some shape note music\, including “Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken” on their Our American Journey album. \n\n\n\nAll sorts and conditions of people take part in shape note singing. For example\, a punk rocker by the name José Camacho-Cerna contributed the tune Lowndes to the 2025 edition of The Sacred Harp. \n\n\n\nNicholas Thompson was asked to leave his church in rural Alabama after he came out. The shape note community embraced him. “Sacred Harp let me be who I was\, and I didn’t have to pretend to be anybody when I was at singings or with singers. And the fact that it’s being kept alive by the queer community\, the\, you know\, minorities\, I love that. I love that it’s become a melting pot of everybody” (NPR). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction on March 22\n\n\n\nIn addition to the singings at Redeemer on March 29 and April 26\, Karen Willard will be at Church of the Redeemer on March 22\, 2026. Following the 10:30 service\, she will introduce shape note singing for anyone interested. You can see what it is all about. Ask questions! \n\n\n\nCome\, join the fun. Invite anyone. This is not a Redeemer event. You do not discuss politics\, religion\, or college football at singings. And\, while there are no membership dues or fees\, there will be a collection to pay expenses for the singing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPacific Northwest Sacred Harp Singers (PNWSHS)\n\n\n\nThe PNWSHS mission is to organize\, improve\, expand\, and encourage community shapenote singing in the Pacific Northwest through singing school classes\, singings\, and conventions. It serves as the umbrella organization for all shapenote singings in Washington state\, and provides help as needed to shapenote singings in Oregon\, Idaho\, Montana\, British Columbia\, and Alaska.

SUMMARY:Cocaine Anonymous: Kenmore Keystone (D3)
DESCRIPTION:Church of the Redeemer rents space to Cocaine Anonymous for this meeting. Please contact Cocaine Anonymous for more information. In the spirit of Tradition Six\, C.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nMeeting type: \n\n\n\n\nMeditation: Practices vary\, but typically there is a brief period of meditation prior to any sharing. The meditation may be silent or accompanied by audio intended to help facilitate the practice. Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous . We are all here for the same reason—our inability to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

SUMMARY:Remington Drive Irregulars Practice
DESCRIPTION:Music has always been an important part of the life of Episcopal Church of the Redeemer. We are going to call our rebirth choir Remington Drive Irregulars. This name comes from the historic name of 181st Street\, which provides the south boundary of the Redeemer campus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe choir draws repertoire from the Sacred Harp tradition\, Taizé\, rounds\, and chant. Scheduled rehearsals are set for 7:00 pm on most Tuesdays. \n\n\n\nSelect the following to volunteer for the few\, the proud\, the Remington Drive Irregulars. \n\n\n\n\nSign up for the Remington Drive Irregulars\n\n\n\n\nVolunteering lets us know how much music to prepare. You will not commit to singing every Sunday for life by doing this. We expect to have “rotating” attendance in the choir. \n\n\n\nBenefits of singing in a choir\n\n\n\nSinging in a choir offers significant mental\, social\, and physical benefits\, such as the following: \n\n\n\n\nReducing stress and anxiety\n\n\n\nBoosting mood and self-esteem\n\n\n\nFostering a sense of community\n\n\n\nImproving cognitive skills like memory and music reading\n\n\n\nStrengthening respiratory and immune systems \n\n\n\n\nChoral singing can also improve heart function\, increase pain thresholds\, and provide a powerful sense of belonging and social connection.  \n\n\n\nThese articles back up those claims: \n\n\n\n\nChoir singing improves health\, happiness – and is the perfect icebreaker (University of Oxford)\n\n\n\n13 health (physical\, mental\, and social) benefits of choir singing: Choral singing is good for you\, your physical and mental health\, and social life (Interkultur)\n\n\n\nThe Mental-Health Benefits of Singing in a Choir: A body of research finds singing in a group boosts mood\, outlook\, and health (Psychology Today)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the Venite\, exultemus (Psalm 95) in the Book of Common Prayer: \n\n\n\n\nCome\, let us sing to the Lord; *     let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *     and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

SUMMARY:Alcoholics Anonymous: Kenmore Friday Nighters
DESCRIPTION:Church of the Redeemer rents space to Alcoholics Anonymous for this meeting. Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.

Following four years at Emmanuel Parish in Hastings\, Michigan\, Fr. John came to Church of the Redeemer in 1983. He retired June 1\, 2014. \n\n\n\nFor the last 15 years of his ministry at Church of the Redeemer\, Fr.

John works with veterans and others who are experiencing trauma issues on an ongoing basis. With Landy F. Sparr\, he wrote the chapter “Moral and Spiritual Issues Following Traumatization” for the book Psychiatry and Religion: The Convergence of Mind and Spirit. \n\n\n\nFr. John and his wife Ginny lived in Bothell\, Washington. They have two adult children\, Susan and Dan. \n\n\n\nFr. John had a passion for adult education. He enjoyed jogging and lifting weights\, and reads theology\, history\, and murder mysteries. His 30-year relationship with his spiritual father\, a Trappist monk at Our Lady of the Assumption Abbey in Ava\, Missouri\, was a continual source of inspiration and strength to him.
