Beloveds in the NW Washington Synod,

It is with a heavy heart that we share the death of the Rev. Carol Jensen. As we grieve her death, we lift our prayers of gratitude for this servant of God and the many ways she graciously and joyfully shared her gifts in this world. She was a beautiful advocate, a wonderful friend, a wise mentor. May she rest in peace with God and all the saints.

Carol’s memorial service will be Thursday, August 14, 2pm at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, 215 Mukilteo Blvd, Everett, WA.

The date is Carol’s 77th birthday — great timing for this communal celebration of her life!

1:30pm, Parade honoring Carol's social justice work

Park at or near the church building and walk to the rally location (find map here; 0.7-mile walk on Olympic Blvd, mild grade, scenic overlook to church building). We will begin the parade at 1:30pm, but late arrivals or any who do not feel up to walking the full distance can join en route or meet us in the church building. We encourage you to make signs as you would for any social justice march. Please keep messages positive and champion a social justice issue close to your heart or display a word about Carol related to her justice work.
