UTO Ingathering
Sunday, May 10, 2015

Known worldwide as UTO, the United Thank Offering grants are awarded for projects that address human needs and help alleviate poverty both domestically and internationally. The United Thank Offering award funds are derived from the Ingatherings collected twice a year (Spring & Fall) from the well-known and easily recognizable United Thank Offering Blue Box.

 

Our spring ingathering will be collected on Sunday May 10th by our youth on Youth Sunday. Envelopes will be available in the pew holders and also in your church bulletin on the 10th.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Awesome Success at DR Auction
Thank You Christ Church!
$17,030.00!! That's the total dollars that were raised at the Dominican Night Dinner and Auction plus the mailed and collection plate contributions designated for DR Scholarships. This awesome total is the highest amount we have ever raised to support the children of El Pedregal. Thank you is too small a phrase to tell you how much your support is appreciated. A thousand thank yous to all.

Our Junior and Middle School EYC groups are collecting hotel/sample sized toiletries which they will bag and send to The Haven for their clients. There will be a collection bin in the Parish Hall. Thank you so much for helping our youth do God's work in our community!
