Stewardship 2026

As we enter this season of gratitude, your Stewardship Team invites you to consider how your pledge can continue to sustain and grow our shared ministry at Moreland Presbyterian Church.

Our 2026 Stewardship Campaign theme is Giving IN Love, Living OUT Love, inspired by II Corinthians 8:7:

“Just as you are rich in every respect — in faith and encouragement, in wisdom and compassion, and in Love — may you also abound in the grace of giving and living.”

This reminds us that faith and love are not only gifts we hold, but actions that flow through us. When we give and live in love, we reflect God’s grace to one another and to the wider world.

We are deeply grateful for your commitment over the past year. Pledges for 2025 increased by 10%, and giving has remained strong. Your faithfulness carried our congregation through staff transitions and change, while we celebrated new milestones with community partners.

Looking to 2026, we want to carry forward the momentum of this past year by opening our building, and our hearts, even wider to the neighborhood around us. Our Building Use Team is working to make Moreland’s space a welcoming home for creativity, community gatherings, and connection — a living expression of love that also helps sustain our church’s financial health. It is important that we maintain this pledging momentum to reduce and eventually eliminate the need to draw from our endowment funds for current budgeting.

Your financial pledges make this possible. Each year’s commitments allow us to plan responsibly, support our dedicated staff, and fund the programs and partnerships that bring our mission to life.

There are several ways to share your pledge for 2026:

• Online: Complete the form on Breeze

• Automatic Giving: Set up or adjust recurring gifts with Breeze, www.morelandpres.org/giving

• Email: Send your pledge to Sue Walsh at sue@morelandpres.org with “Pledge 2026” in the subject line.

• In Person or Mail: Use the pledge form in the enclosed brochure and return it in the offering plate or mail it to the church (1814 SE Bybee Blvd., Portland, OR 97202).

Please submit your pledge by Sunday, November 16, 2025. Every pledge, no matter the size, strengthens our shared ministry and helps us live out our calling to give in love and live out love.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Your Stewardship Team: Tom Kern, Greg Mowe, Blake Ray, Ken Ray, Sue Walsh
