While Pastor Peter is out on sabbatical, we are excited to learn from so many others in our church family and wider network! We start this Sunday with a message from Pastor Anna Kalepo. Pastor Anna is a third generation Free Methodist elder, whose great grandmother was a traveling preacher in a Free Methodist Pentecost Band. She first came to Rainier Avenue Church as an intern 1998, when she met then-future husband, Tausili. Over the years she has served in community development, teaching, preaching, children’s, youth, and worship ministries at RAC. Her passion is equipping people to see one another and work together to dismantle racism and seek God’s peace in their community. She has co-trained and facilitated workshops around the greater Seattle area to that end. For the past 5 years, Anna has worked at South Shore PK-8 school in Rainier Beach, where children Naomi and Josiah also attended.
Pastor Anna is an amazing person I’m blessed to have in my life. Thank you church for recognizing women leaders.
What a great lineup of preachers👏
Sweet Line Up. Wish I lived closer.
Happy first day of sabbatical to Pastor Peter and his family! We are so glad for this time of rest and reflection. Pastor Peter will be away through November 1 on regular leave that pastors typically take after serving for seven years. You can learn more about the sabbatical and what will be going on at church during this time at this link: bit.ly/3zhY3E5, and you can send an encouragement or blessing to Pastor Peter over the next week at this link: rac.kudoboard.com/boards/gPJuTpWg. Please keep Pastor Peter and his family in prayer to rest well and hear clearly from God during this time!
Have blessed Sabbatical Season with your family! Rest well and be renewed to next journey in pastoral ministry! Praying 🙏 .

This link is for some service in April. So I've put the correct link in a comment.
We are excited for Rangkham's Place Youth Cafe to offer coffee again on Sunday mornings! You can pick up coffee after service this Sunday -- be sure to ask your barista's name and encourage them on what you notice is going well! In keeping with updated mask recommendations from King County and the CDC this week, we do ask that you keep your mask on indoors, so coffee will be available after service as you're on your way out to mingle in front of the church. Glad to have this chance to connect again!Hi everyone!
We are excited to announce that starting August 1st, Rangkham's Place Cafe will officially be serving drinks regularly every Sunday from 9:00am-12:00pm.
This Sunday, July 25th, we will also be open during church service as a test run for the Sundays to follow! We'd love to see you as we begin to prepare for this new routine at the cafe.
Following new recommendations from King County Public Health and the CDC, we are now requiring everyone indoors at RAC to wear a face mask. We are working hard to keep the most vulnerable people among us safe, including children who don't have access to vaccination yet. We will also have masks available for anyone who needs them. Thanks for your understanding and patience as we all continue to follow changing guidelines in order to love our neighbors well!
I applaud this decision which shows great love for your congregation.
Thanks Jim and Michelle for sharing your testimony last Sunday of being involved in your neighborhood through building a garden space with your small group! This summer, RAC's CCDA team challenges you to reconnect with your neighborhood by being intentionally present in simple, loving ways.

New Launch Groups (short-term Small Groups) are starting this Summer and Fall! Groups will meet 6-7 times -- a great way to plug into community and go deeper in faith. The groups are for anyone at RAC -- those who are newer and those who have been RAC a long time. Learn more or sign up here: bit.ly/3BkAAnE
