Welcome to the emmanuel’s Stewardship Campaign!
While we are indeed raising money to support the operations of the church, this is so much more than a Fund-raiser. Tell Out My Soul! is a Spirit-raiser, a Labor-raiser, a Commitment-raiser, a Community-raiser. How can you be involved? Simple: Read more below (and don’t miss the linked reflections from Emmanuel members), pray about the gifts you can offer to nurture our good garden here at the corner of Cathedral & Read Streets, and make your Promise of Support for 2026.
Introducing TELL OUT MY SOUL!
We are so grateful for all who have participated in our church community this past year, as Emmanuel has grown, strengthened our congregation, and served our community in myriad ways, including:
deepening our focus on congregational development and supporting the growth of lay and clergy leadership through our work with the College for Congregational Development;
empowering organizations like HOPE, the No Boundaries Coalition, the Pride Center of Maryland, and Brown Memorial Tutoring, and others to do good work in our community through outreach grants and partnership;
expanding arts and culture programming including Music at Emmanuel's presentations of acclaimed performers and Gallery exhibits featuring the work of talented local artists.
Of course, it takes more than monetary support for Emmanuel to thrive. A more holistic view of stewardship means we are thinking, and praying, about more than just weekly payments. Consider the many aspects of giving:
Community: Help us serve our city & neighbors
Help meet community needs through generous donations of items such as clothing, food, or school supplies, and consider pledging to sustain your contributions throughout the calendar year.
Generosity: Help us fund our mission & ministry
Help meet operational needs by giving generously to support all the work of the church, and consider increasing your gift each year to keep up with rising costs.
Spirituality: Help us grow in faith together
Help meet communal needs by offering your heart, your fully-committed self, to this church family and to the city of Baltimore.
Service: Help us do the work of the church
Help meet liturgical and programming needs by volunteering for one or more of the church’s ministries, and consider pledging a commitment to continue serving the church for this program year.

Make Your Promise of Support
We invite you to prayerfully consider what you might be able to give for next year. We trust that if each of us gives what we can, Emmanuel Episcopal Church will continue to flourish.
