On June 1st, envelopes for UTO collections will be included in that Sunday's bulletin to make a donation or turn in your coins gathered since our fall 2013 ingathering. United Thank Offering (UTO) is a ministry of the Episcopal Church for the mission of the whole church. Through UTO, men, women, and children nurture the habit of giving daily thanks to God. These prayers of thanksgiving start when we recognize and name our many daily blessings. Those who participate in UTO discover that thankfulness leads to generosity. UTO is entrusted to promote thank offerings, to receive the offerings, and to distribute the UTO monies to support mission and ministry throughout the Episcopal Church and in invited Provinces of the Anglican Communion in the developing world. Thank you for your continued support in this important mission, and remember our change does change lives.
Helen Tucker (UTO Chairman)
