Contemplative Prayer
Tue, March 11 at 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm PDT
Every Tuesday in Lent 2025, the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer will be open from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm for contemplative prayer. Come for five minutes or for two hours. Be still in the Spirit during this season of repentance and preparation.
Contemplative prayer
“Contemplation” is a form of mental prayer. Meditation and petition give way to quiet adoration of the mysteries of God.
Contemplative prayer comes after a period of recollection and self-abandonment. Daily concerns vanish. Active imagination gives way to waiting and listening. God is sought and found within the self as divine dwelling-place.
Not all believers experience contemplation. All may desired it, and such a desire is already God’s grace.
Taken from Contemplation.
1 Kings 19:11-13 (NRSV)
He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

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.
