GROWING IN
GOD'S ABUNDANCE
Activating Our Mission
Maintaining Momentum
In 2025, we began a three-year focus to build on our ministries. The seeds have been sown, we have set the foundation to our ministries, now we build on them.
We have planted.
We have begun to grow.
Now we nurture what is growing.
Help us nurture what is growing with your 2027 pledge.
Why We Give
With your gifts, we continue to grow and plant seeds throughout our community and the world.
We give because we belong. We give because we are grateful. We give because we believe in what God is doing here. We give because we want this ministry to be here for the people who need it today—and for those who haven't found us yet.
A note from Pastor Karen
Greetings, family in Christ,
We are deep in autumn! The view from the church windows reveal colors yellow, orange, and red.
Our gardens are transformed, getting ready for winter. Geese overhead call out their good-byes as they head south. This is the time we experience abundance in God’s creation.
​
I know we all are experiencing the effects of a stressed economy. It is also true for the church. And, we know we have needs coming ahead for the building. That’s another conversation.
All at the same time, we trust and grow in generosity.
Please help meet the needs to serve our ministry with faith and consider giving more this year.
Simple ideas to help “Maintain Momentum” of Memorial’s ministries:
-
Pledge - It helps us plan.
-
Give one more dollar a day this year.
-
Double your giving one month in 2027.
-
Double your giving for 2027.
-
Give $50 a month this year.
-
Increase giving by a percent this year and keep doing that each year…
-
Trust God you will have enough.​
When the church body increases pledging by as little as $500 per week, it makes a big difference in our budget.
​
Sunday, November 22 is Giving Sunday (along with Pie Sunday). Bring your pledge cards to share in fellowship followed by the sweet offering of pies from our Memorial Council. If you cannot attend, send your pledges to Scott Prunty, finance@memoriallutheran.org.
​
Thank you for your generosity through time, talents, and money. Bless you!
Pastor Karen Treat
