Music: "Holy Love" by Citizens

Taylor gives a short update on the Student Ministry as the state of NC begins to open up from the COVID-19 quarantine. 

The suffering of the times can make us feel small and alone, but it should have the reverse effect. When we suffer we should find solidarity with all of creation and all people. It then equips us to love others.
