The colors of the paraments on the altar have changed to green! The Sundays following Pentecost, observed as “the time of the church,” share a somewhat similar theme to that of Epiphany. Affectionately called the season of the “green meadow,” these Sundays also emphasize the subject of growth.

This is the perfect time for our new sermon series, "The Orchard Project."

Greetings friends,

“And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? ‘My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by Him. For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and chastises every son whom He receives.’” Hebrews 12:5b–6.

Our author quotes Proverbs 3 when reminding us how we must endure, and why. We continue our journey through this letter to the Hebrews.

Life in this world can be wearying to us all. Left unchecked, the pessimism, cynicism, hostility, and hatred that are present can bring us to our knees and even break us if we allow it to happen. Many times, these things are not a part of God's intentional will, but rather things God allows through His permissive will. Either way, they are things that are a part of His kingdom, as are we. The author reminds us that God is disciplining us as a parent disciplines a son or daughter.

Going back to the race metaphor used prior to this verse, the author points us back to the training that produces winners and champions. The discipline required to win is rigorous. “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”

Walk the right path in the right way, says the author. While you are living and have the time, do what is right and stand strong, erect, so that you may be healed. Esau sought to retrieve his inheritance after he had sinfully sold it, but there was no time left for him to repent and accomplish this before he was rejected completely.

Your brother in Christ, learning to love the discipline of the Lord, alongside you all, Pastor G

Greetings friends,

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1. A strong reminder for us from the writer of Hebrews about the definition of faith. We continue our walk with this writer of an important letter in our Scriptures.

How did the great men of old accomplish great things? Things worthy of reading about thousands of years later? Was it by strength of limb, confidence in their abilities to outsmart the enemy, or was it something else? Our author here gives it to us straight. Yes, they did mighty things in the days of old. Abel offered a better sacrifice than Cain. Enoch walked so faithfully in this life that he was taken up by God into heaven alive. Noah, by faith, built the ark when there was no rain. Abraham obeyed when commanded by God to sacrifice the son of his wife, trusting God to still be able to keep His promise to make Abraham a great nation.

The author tells the tales of most of the great men and women of the Old Testament. A wonderful retelling of the history of God’s people, from the people’s side of things. And in the end, what does this writer have to say about it all? The work of these mighty men of the Scriptures was all done by the power of their faith in the one true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

And even though commended for their faith, they did not receive what was promised to them by God, because He had something even better prepared for them which they would receive in just the right time. And so, we wait faithfully in hope for the return of our Savior Jesus Christ, practicing in our lives what He lived out in His, as was well modeled by these heroes of the faith.

Your brother in Christ, practicing my faith alongside you all, Pastor G

THE CHOSEN - May 27, 2026

The Chosen continues to meet on Wednesdays at 5:00 PM. We are nearing the end of Season 5—only two weeks left. This season has chronicled the events leading up to Jesus' arrest. Tonight, we watched Jesus administer communion to His disciples for the last time.

Last week, the group decided to partake of communion as Jesus did with the disciples. Pastor, Lete, and Alan did a wonderful job leading the process. Linda Koch baked the bread, which greatly enhanced the experience.

Attached are a few pictures from this experience.

Harold Elon Lutz, 94, of Inverness, Florida, entered into eternal rest on May 22, 2026.

Born in Michigan, Harold spent his life as a farmer and skilled stone mason — laying things down that would stand and planting things that would grow. He faithfully worked with his hands, cared deeply for his family and quietly lived out his faith each day.

Harold married Elizabeth Karlene Brooks in 1957, and they shared fifty-eight years together before her passing in 2015. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and faithful member of Faith Lutheran Church in Lecanto.

Harold will be remembered for his steadfast faith, loving heart, quiet strength and the lasting legacy he leaves behind in the lives of those who knew and loved him.

A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, May 29, 2026, at Faith Lutheran Church in Lecanto.

Visitation: 10:00–11:30 AM
Celebration of Life Service: 11:30 AM
Reception to Follow

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial gifts be directed to Faith Lutheran Church in Harold’s memory.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7
