Art for Lent I

We Are Small, We Are Numerous, We Are Deep
by Carmelle Beaugelin Caldwell | @sanctifiedart
Based on Matthew 13:31-32

From the artist's statement:

"From the Corn Mother of Indigenous myth to African women braiding okra seeds into their hair as they were forced from their homelands, many of our ancestors understood the power of carrying life in its smallest form. Seed-carrying is an act of faith. These tiny, unassuming specks hold the audacious hope that wherever we go, we already have what we need to take root and flourish in strange and foreign soils. May our faith and our hopes be just as audacious, resilient, and uncontainable as the seeds which hold the fruits of our faith.”

 

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.
