Salt Lake City congregation of slain student Lauren McCluskey sings, prays and asks for ‘double portion' of God’s peace

Still feeling pain and grief over the recent death of Lauren McCluskey, the members of her Salt Lake City church congregation were encouraged Sunday to seek peace from God.

“No matter what storm we are in or what struggle we find ourselves tackling ... when we find ourselves asking, ‘Why? Why? Why?’" guest pastor Margaret Feinberg told the 100-plus worshippers who gathered for the 10 a.m. service at Capital Church, "on those days, we need to ask God to give us a double portion of his peace.”
