Words from Pastor Tracey Breashears

Grace and peace to you!

In one of my favorite readings, Dan Erlander's Baptized We Live, the author refers to baptism as our immersion into “storied waters.” Think of that! We who have been baptized into Christ have, through the water, joined journeys with all the faithful who have gone before us. That means our stories are intertwined with those of Mary and Martha, Peter and John, Esther and Ruth, Moses and Aaron, and all the prophets and saints. God acted in their lives, but not only that. God is still stirring the waters today!

Come join us in worship, prayer, service, and fellowship at MacArthur Park Lutheran Church. Each of us has a story of faith. We'd like to share ours with you, and we invite you to share yours with us.

Blessings,
Pastor Tracey

Biography of Pastor Tracey Breashers
Rev. Tracey Breashears began serving MacArthur Park Lutheran Church on August 1, 2007 and was installed as Associate Pastor on September 23, 2007. Pastor Tracey received her B.A. in English and Spanish from the University of Arkansas in 1996 and graduated from Wartburg Theological Seminary with a M.Div degree in May, 2007. She was ordained on July 21, 2007 at First United Methodist Church in Limon, CO, the town in which she served her internship.

After college, Pastor Tracey worked as a medical software trainer for a computer company in Little Rock, Arkansas. This teaching experience prepared her for her next one, which was as Spanish Teacher at Christ Lutheran Junior High School, also in Little Rock. She served as a translator for a number of medical mission teams to Mexico before leaving teaching in 2003 to pursue her M.Div.

Of her seminary coursework, Pastor Tracey most enjoyed liturgy, preaching, and Hebrew Bible classes. Her summer (2004) as a hospital chaplain at Heartland Regional Medical Center in Saint Joseph, MO was equally formative, as was her internship at Zion Lutheran Church in Limon, CO.

Pastor Tracey was raised in Escondido, CA, but her family now lives in Houston, TX. She loves to spend her free time with her niece and nephew. She also likes to bake, sing, scrapbook, exercise, read, do yoga, speak Spanish, and drink Starbucks coffee. She is excited about her ministry at MacArthur Park and is passionate about many things, but especially about the gospel.
