The Bishops' Annual Appeal in Support of Ministry

Look with compassion on the whole human family; break down the walls that separate us; and unite us in bonds of love…

The mission of the Bishops’ Annual Appeal is simple: to share the gifts with which God has blessed us in order to strengthen both our neighborhoods and our faith communities. Many parish-based programs, with the Bishops’ Annual Appeal’s support, have begun to affect changes within their immediate neighborhoods and beyond. We invite you to join the community of supporters who make these programs and ministries possible.

We ask you to join with us in supporting the Diocese of Maryland’s new vision priorities to guide its ministries for the next five years. By giving to the Bishops’ Appeal, you will help us to realize the Horizons 2015 priorities.

These are big dreams that will impact the legacy we will leave for future generations and how we will make a difference in their lives, the church and the world.

Your gift will go directly to fund the Horizons 2015 effort, or you may choose to support the following ministries:

• Parish Grants Bishop
• Claggett Center
• Ethnic Congregational Ministries
• Camp Amazing Grace
• Youth Ministry
• Youth Mission Trips
• Johns Hopkins Chaplaincy
• Urban Ministry

Each of these ministries touch far more people than walk through their doors. When children are educated they succeed. When problems are solved rather than patched, people gain confidence, and when a community pulls together, everyone wins.
