Advent: Hope

What helps you hold on? On the first Sunday of Advent, Gena St. David wades into the wilderness to grasp onto hope in these challenging times. [1 Corinthians 1:3-7]

Reflection

• How is love helping me hold on?
• Which parts of life feel like caterpillar soup?
• How am I inviting my community to come near?
