Music, beauty, reflection, prayer and fellowship in our historic church building.
There is Good
by Hannah Garrity | @sanctifiedart
Inspired by Matthew 23:23
From the artist's statement:
“In this series of scriptures, gathered crowds drew my attention. Jesus always drew a crowd, but so did the voices of hate in his time. In our current historic moment, this dichotomy of crowds for justice and crowds for injustice confounds me. Are all crowds worthy of joining? In the background of this piece, I dyed and collaged together torn newspaper, representing the fabric of the world, to portray the cacophony of crowds gathering. …
In the four corners of the artwork, symbols of justice, mercy, and faithfulness echo the clarity of Jesus. Gathering for justice is the work of the gospel."
We acknowledge these communities, their elders both past and present, as well as future generations. St. Paul's Sacramento also acknowledges that it was founded upon exclusions and erasures of many Indigenous peoples, including those on whose land this church was founded. With God's help, we commit ourselves to acknowledging the truth of California's history, as well as strengthening existing relationships and improving our efforts to build collaborative relationships with Native peoples.
