Ruffled By Grace Book Launch

Join us for the second “Ruffled By Grace” Book Launch on August 15, 2025 from 6-8pm at Curious Grounds in Conklin, NY.

After crashing into the stained-glass ceiling, Pastor Michelle Wahila embarks on a transformative journey in Paris, where faith, glitter, wine, and liturgy intertwine. Defying the heteropatriarchy of the institutional church, she marries any couple ready to say, “I do.”

From queer weddings to boudoir workshops and rural French farm life, "Ruffled By Grace" is a story of love in many forms, healing after loss, and the evolving role of faith in a world drifting further from pews and pulpits.

"Part memoir and part prayerbook... this book bears witness to Wahila’s dogged faith and holy creativity." — Rev. Bromleigh McCleneghan, UMC/UCC Clergy

In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered… Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. ~ Luke 2
