"Lord bring me peace and keep me in peace in the midst of the chaos." Third day living is about living in peace. Live in Christ, at peace, and turn the issues over to God. No matter who you are in your walk of faith, or where you are in that journey, you are invited to the communion table at Trinity Lutheran Church. Trinity Lutheran Church is an ELCA congregation, more or less traditional and relaxed, and a Reconciling in Christ congregation where all are welcome.

Grief and sorrow drain us. That sorrow is akin to a mountain that stands before us and the mountain blocks out the Sun. We do not climb that mountain in a snap. Grief is not overcome in a moment. We need to climb, one step at a time. Climb, don’t sit. Be grateful for the steps you can take. See the blessings of the day. That is third day living. The promise of Easter is a promise that we have it in us to get to the top.
