Thank God for the gifts of faith, hope and love – especially during this COVID-19 pandemic. As Bishop DeGrood has reminded us through the story of the disciples being tossed and turned and fearing for their lives in the stormy sea, our trust is in our Lord Jesus who accompanies us and calms the storm.
