Advent: Hope with Patrice Gopo

Advent 2018
Written By Patrice Gopo

Patrice Gopo shares some reflections on Hope and reads an excerpt from her essay collection, All the Colors We Will See.

Discussion questions from Patrice’s video:

  • Talk to someone who celebrates Christmas and comes from a different background from yours. Listen to their experiences about Christmas. Consider how what they’ve seen or heard or felt or tasted adds to a more robust understanding of God’s presence in this world.

  • When someone from a different place or background from yours shares a story from their experience, consider how this story invites you into another understanding of the world.
