Summer doesn’t always feel slower.
Sometimes it feels fuller… louder… more stretched than we expected.

If your routine feels off or your energy feels low, you’re not alone.

A new Living Lutheran article, with reflections from Portico leaders, offers a gentle reminder: you don’t have to hold everything together. You can pause, let something go, and return to what grounds you in God’s presence:

- Take a deep breath
- Step outside and notice creation
- Reach out to someone who brings you joy

Small moments of connection — with God and with each other — can help you stay centered, even in a busy season.

When summer arrives, we tend to think things will begin to slow down. But in reality, this season can feel just as busy.

On Memorial Day, Lutherans are shaped by a faith that remembers.

We remember lives given in service to others, families who carry both pride and loss, and the cost of peace and freedom. Grounded in a theology of vocation, we give thanks for those who served their neighbors with courage and sacrifice. Today, we pause in gratitude, prayer, and renewed commitment to care for one another and to work for a more peaceful world.

May is Healthy Vision Month, a good reminder to prioritize your eye care. Members, have you scheduled your annual eye exam yet? And those of you who elected optional vision care coverage through VSP, have you taken advantage of your benefit? https://portico.ws/VSP
