The United Thank Offering Spring Ingathering

It's not too early to start thinking about the coming Spring Ingathering of the United Thank Offering.  Everyone is invited to participate. This offering is a practice in our life in Christ that begins with daily prayers and gifts of thanks. These gifts of thanksgiving from each individual are combined with all the others in the Episcopal Church and given as grants for projects throughout the Anglican Communion. These grants continue to support and strengthen the mission and ministry of the Church throughout the world. Boxes, similar to mite boxes, are provided for those who like to drop in coins and recite the things that they are thankful for each day. These boxes can be found in the Narthex and in the Duncan-Giersch Center (in the bookcase opposite the Nursery). Through the UTO you are participating in a missionary effort that began in 1889 and continues today to encourage men, women and children to share their thankfulness with others. UTO Offering Envelopes will be available in the church on May 24. If you collect coins in an UTO box, please place a check for the amount collected in the offering plate rather than your box of coins. For more information contact Meriwether Walker, UTO Coordinator.
