If you attended Frames and Filters and would love to hear more from Tali, you'll want to participate in Wonder, Heartbreak & Hope: Why Your Work Matters on Sunday mornings in September. Ryan Beattie will lead this class exploring God's original purpose for work, the unavoidable brokenness we all experience, and how our work can be a primary means to bring Jesus’ healing. On Sept. 29, Tali Hairston will join Ryan to go deeper into one aspect of this: race in the workplace.
Join us on Saturday, October 5th as we visit the outstanding exhibit "In Our Shoes" presented by Lake Burien Presbyterian Church. The exhibit shares the history and reflections from their recent Justice Pilgrimage to important Civil Rights sites.
Join us for a six-week series exploring how the church can embody the gospel through the love and unity we demonstrate across economic, cultural, and racial divides. Each session will include biblical instruction, a video message from a Christian leader, and group discussion.

This Fall, BelPres has made some exciting staff additions. Pastor Harvey Drake has joined BelPres for two years as, "Pastor in Residence for Racial Reconciliation and Multi-Cultural Community." As many of you know, Pastor Harvey has been an influential leader in the church and broader community for over 30 years. BelPres has invited Pastor Harvey to help us continue to grow in God's call to build toward "3rd way" racial justice and healing in pursuit of God's heart. He is uniquely gifted as a pastor and prophetic voice in this area.
We are also excited to welcome Anthony Ballard to the BelPres pastoral residency program. The purpose of the program is to train and equip people who are interested in entering professional ministry while also using their skills to help us in specific areas highlighted by our roadmap. Anthony's focus is on multi-ethnic community and racial reconciliation, and he'll be working closely with the J&RR Team.
