Let us pray...

Transfigure us, O Lord, that with Jesus we may ever seek to witness and minister in the world that surrounds us. Help us to be both messengers and active participants in the mission you give your church to speak and practice truth and hope in the gift that is your world, for we seek to be both faithful disciples and grateful stewards. In Christ's strong name, we pray. Amen. (Pr. George Handley, March 2003)
The UNITED LUTHERAN APPEAL is a joint effort of the Metropolitan Washington DC Synod and the following institutions and agencies: Caroline Furnace Camp, Community Family Life Services, Fellowship Square Foundation, Good Shepherd Housing Foundation, Lutheran Social Services/National Capital Area, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Lutheran Volunteer Corps, Mar-Lu-Ridge Lutheran Camp, N Street Village, Inc., National Lutheran Home, Roanoke College, Southeast Ministry and Transitional Housing Corporation.
After over two years planning, at its June 2002 Assembly, the Metropolitan Washington D.C. Synod approved the launching of an annual appeal on behalf of these thirteen institutions and agencies either related to the synod or its congregations. It covers a large range of educational, outdoor and social ministries. The purpose of the Appeal not only is to provide a once a year coordinated ingathering of financial support for these ministries, but also to educate congregations and their members concerning the broad range of ministries active on their behalf throughout the synod. Ministry is multi-faceted as the people of God seek to be faithful to the Biblical mission which is ours as followers of Jesus Christ. The Appeal seeks to assist us all in this mission and ministry.
