I decided to image this good news through the dancing light of a lantern in John's prison cell. I chose dancing figures because dancing feels like a primal response to the radical healing taking place outside the prison walls. As these six dancers illuminate the cell, I imagine John, even if for a moment, breaking into a bit of laughter at the magnitude of Jesus' ministry. Jesus was quite literally doing the unimaginable.

Join us in worship on Sundays at 10 a.m. as we insist on hope this Advent season!
And Mary said,“My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…”
(Luke 1:46-47, NRSV)
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.
Join us for music, beauty, reflection, prayer and fellowship.
Simple and secure giving.
