Advent is the first season of the church year, beginning with the fourth Sunday before Christmas and continuing through the day before Christmas. The name is derived from a Latin word for “coming.” The season is a time of preparation and expectation for the coming celebration of our Lord’s nativity, and for the final coming of Christ “in power and glory.”
The traditional themes of Advent, a season to prepare for the coming of Christ, revolve around our preparation for the four last things:
- Death
- Judgment
- Hell
- Heaven
Advent. The beginning of the Church’s Year. “Advent” means “coming.” We think of Jesus coming in 3 different ways. Jesus came on the first Christmas Day. Jesus comes in the Blessed Sacrament…
…Jesus will come at the Last Day. In Advent we remember the Four Last Things: Death, Judgement, Hell, Heaven. There are four Sundays in Advent.

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.
