"Mary's Yes" by Lisle Gwynn Garrity

Elizabeth's pregnancy provides reassurance that Mary can trust the angel's impossible news. By the sixth month, Mary will be able to see for herself that Elizabeth is truly pregnant. By the sixth month, Mary can place her hands on Elizabeth's belly and giggle as the baby leaps and kicks. By the sixth month, the risk of miscarriage has significantly decreased. By the sixth month, Elizabeth will be emotionally, mentally, and physically preparing for birth. Her miracle is real, even as it is yet to be born. Therefore, Mary can rest her hope in an emerging—not empty—promise.

St. Paul's Episcopal Church Sacramento is built on the unceded land of the Miwok and Nisenan peoples.

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.

Thank you for your generosity

Simple and secure giving.
