We want to keep building RAC community without meeting in big groups this summer. If you are staying sane during quarantine by going walking, and you're also looking for ways to connect with folks at RAC, we'd like to encourage you to use the RAC Facebook group page (www.facebook.com/groups/RainierAveChurch/) to send an open invitation to group members to join you for a walk or find others near you who have posted. Keep proper distancing measures in mind. Let's take this chance to connect safely with others!
Thanks everyone for submitting such creative videos of what you've been doing during quarantine for our COVIDeo series! This week's prompt is: What is your best "treat yourself" moment during quarantine? Submit your 30-second video to this link by Friday at 5pm! You can see everyone's videos at the end of Sunday livestream next week-- just like if we were hanging around after church telling stories... www.dropbox.com/request/XDs2IcRbxyYrHWOzz3Xo.
I just uploaded one for next week under this link. I didn’t want to forget. Hope that works?
Here's the link for church today, going live at 9:50am... and reminder that we'll do communion today so you'll want to have some kind of bread and juice ready. Looking forward to worship with you this morning! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEDaygTwBDM
This Sunday, we'll take communion together as part of the livestream service. You can use whatever bread and juice you have around your house -- you may want to set them out at the beginning of the service as part of preparing your heart for worship.
We miss seeing everyone in person! In order to connect with each other like we usually would after church, you're invited to create a 30-second "COVIDeo" sharing about your life during quarantine, and we'll compile them to share at the end of the Sunday livestream! This week's prompt is: "What new hobbies have you learned during the quarantine?" Upload your video by Friday at 5PM to this link: www.dropbox.com/request/XDs2IcRbxyYrHWOzz3Xo. If you need help making or uploading your video, please message or email the church at info@rainieravenuechurch.org and we are happy to help!
Last few hours to get your videos in before 5pm today! Looking forward to seeing everyone's quarantine hobbies Sunday at the end of the service!
In case you need some inspiration, here's some videos from staff about what working from home looks like during quarantine! youtu.be/uSI-R8Py1XM
Two book studies to connect with others in the church and explore meaningful topics are coming up: The Color of Compromise by Jemar Tisby (led by Heather Otieno) and Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazzero (led by Albert Wang). The Color of Compromise is about the history of racism in the church and how we can do better, all are welcome. For the EHS study, priority is on men looking for more community in the church. Both studies will start in the next week or two, so sign up now! EHS: bit.ly/3hgKGey, Color of Compromise: bit.ly/38lgdbQ
Here's the link bit.ly/3hftJRH for worship this morning! And in case you can't participate at 10am, as soon as the livestream finishes, this link will turn into a recording of the service you can watch again. Welcome to worship with us this morning!

This is a statement on racial injustice and black lives that we released four years ago. Our commitment to these convictions remains steadfast as we truly believe that they reflect God's heart and His kingdom.
There is a lot for us all to process right now especially around racism in this country. Since we can't meet together in the church building, we've set up a COVID-safe space in the parking lot with stations to help bring our grief, questions, prayers, and hopes before God. This space is open during daylight hours for the next few weeks-- see this video for a preview of what it is!
Great work team! Excited for this space ✊🏾💪🏾🤎🖤
