Here the angel's message is represented by the doves and the stars. Her message flows into his space with the same power that invoked his fear. I imagine Zechariah let his guard down then, and listened to her in shock. I imagine he takes in her words, lets his arm down, meets her gaze, and holds onto joy, despite his ongoing apprehension.

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.
