Welcome to Rev. AndreaGrace's Blog

What if the bonds of love extend beyond this life? As we celebrate All Saints, All Souls, and Día de los Muertos, explore the beautiful mystery of our eternal connection with loved ones through reflections, music, and prayer. Love doesn't end when life on earth does.

As we head to the polls, what can the earliest Christian communities teach us about leadership, democracy, and LovingKindness? Discover three invitations to put faith into action, a heartfelt prayer for America, and a musical reminder that The Way continues through us when we Lead with Love!

From dancing autumn leaves to children playing together, we discover lessons in seeing, receiving, and belonging. Inspired by Nicholas Black Elk’s sacred hoops and our circles of love, we explore living with LovingKindness.

What can questions, creation, and the cosmos teach us about God? Through Scripture, nature, the Cosmic Christ, and our own holy curiosity, we explore the Divine Mystery surrounding us. Even amid darkness and suffering, we are invited to wonder, question, listen, and discover God continually bringing forth new life.

A longtime friendship, a powerful photography project, and a beautiful reminder: there is so much goodness in our world. Through Sue Ogar’s Shine Your Light project, we’re invited to notice the light within ourselves—and consider how we can share it through LovingKindness, goodness, and love in action.

Anger can be a compass, pointing us toward what needs attention. Explore how moving through anger, resentment, and forgiveness can lead us toward greater freedom and LovingKindness.

From sleep and stress management to movement, learning, connection, and nutrition, small choices can make a difference.

What if we stopped seeing one another as strangers (or enemies) and began seeing everyone as kin? Inspired by Jesus’ radical LovingKindness and the mujerista theology of Ada María Isasi-Díaz, explore the KinDom of God—a way of living rooted in relationship, inclusion, justice and love in action.

Sometimes the Divine invites us to set aside our carefully made plans and simply play. What began as a short summer sabbatical became six weeks of friendship, family, prayer, healing, beauty, and unexpected joy—and a reminder that ministry may happen most deeply not in what we build or accomplish, but in how fully we show up on the playgrounds and Main Streets of life.

Rev. AndreaGrace shares on a divine encounter this spring

AndreaGrace reflects on Juneteenth, and her family's commitment to the generations and her upcoming book.

Compassion has deep roots in the body, in a mother’s body. This week, we reflect on God's compassion.

On the second Sunday after Pentecost – the Church celebrates the Body and Blood of Christ. Through the centuries – the Church has shifted focus from the people as the body of Christ to the mystical body of Christ in Holy Communion.

Over Pentecost Weekend in May, I was blessed to attend the Women's Ordination Conference (WOC) 50th Anniversary Gathering. As I listened to the speakers and participated in conversations, I found myself reflecting on these themes.

This Pentecost, I share a poem I penned while in seminary in response to reading a passage in the book Abounding in Kindness by Elizabeth Johnson.

What begins as a simple soup supper becomes something sacred—voices of gratitude rising, stories shared, and Christ’s presence revealed in one another. In these holy days, we are invited not just to remember, but to gather, to serve, and to become Love in action. Come and stay—enter the story, and let it shape your own.

As Jews and Christians enter sacred days in the same week, we are invited into a shared story of liberation, remembrance, and transformation. This holy week calls Jews & Christians alike to to slow down, gather in community, and encounter the Divine more deeply. Through prayer, ritual, and reflection, may we rediscover the enduring power of love that frees, renews, and calls us to live more fully.

What if this Lent, we leave behind the dreariness and list of what we can't do - and instead embark on a season of spiritual growth? Rev. AndreaGrace provides us with some vision, hope and joy!

In the Judeo-Christian Scripture of Leviticus, we read that God commands us to love the foreigner as ourselves. What does this look like? How do we live this out? How do we support immigrants today?

Rev. AndreaGrace remembers her beloved Aunt Erminia and shares about her hands.... that inspire and echo God's feminine touch.
