From Texas Public Radio:
First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs never sought out any artwork, said church secretary Windy Choate.
But dozens of pieces of art were still sent from people all around the country — artwork meant to bring strength and peace to a church community that lost 26 of its members.
Shortly after the shooting on Nov. 5, 2017, tens of thousands of people began sending cards and letters — and then came the art.
