June 14, 2026 – Proper 6 (Pentecost 3)
Scripture: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” — Psalm 23:1
Stewardship Sentence: Because the Lord provides all we need, we joyfully return a portion of His
gifts in gratitude and trust.
Building Healthy Families: “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at
change.” It’s a simple idea—but a powerful one. This week, you’ll almost certainly face a
moment that tests your patience or perspective. When it comes, don’t rush past it. Pause.
Breathe. Reflect. Remember: you have a choice—not just in how you respond, but in how you
see the situation in the first place. Take a step back and lean into the source of true wisdom: “But the
wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits,
without uncertainty or insincerity.” (James 3:17) What would it look like to answer with wisdom, grace,
gentleness, reason, and sincerity? www.LutheranFamilyService.org Lutheran Family Service
