Adult Christian Formation for Epiphany 2024
Sun, January 14 at 9:30 am to 10:15 am PST
Adult Christian Formation is on Sundays beginning at 9:30 am in the baptistry. This is just inside the doors of the room where we worship on the main floor. The cost is free. Anyone may attend, including people that aren’t members of this or any other church.
For more information about adult Christian formation during the season after Epiphany in 20224, contact the Rev. Deacon Theresa Newell at tnewell@redeemer-kenmore.org.
The Gospel According to Mark
Our Sunday (Eucharistic) lectionary runs on a three-year cycle. This liturgical year, Year B, we focus on readings from the Gospel according to Mark. On January 14 and 21 we’ll get a bird’s eye overview of this book.
January 14, 2024
This week we examine the historical and theological context of this Gospel.
After this information session on January 14, please prepare for the following week by reading the Gospel according to Mark sometime during the week. See what you notice by reading the Gospel, in one sitting if possible. It should take less than an hour and a half. You may stop at 16:8, Mark’s original ending.
Try to read only what’s there, not filling in with what you know from other Gospels.
January 21, 2024
This will be a discussion session based on a reading of this Gospel.
Please prepare for our discussion by reading the Gospel as described above. Note: If you aren’t able to read the Gospel, come anyway! You’ll still glean information from the discussion.
- What surprised you?
- How does Mark’s depiction of Jesus differ from other readings or our own images and ideas?
- What did you expect to see but didn’t find?
- What is Mark emphasizing?

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 6210 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.
