uto ingathering
The diocesan ingathering for the United Thank Offering has been designated as October 28. To order materials or find other resources, visit the UTO page on the denominational web site.

ministering to military 
Thousands of troops will return from military service in the near future. Research indicates that the stress of deployments places a high degree of stress on family relationships, and often challenges the faith of the service member. Local churches and faith communities are essential resources to help restore family relationships and deepen spiritual well being. You are invited to join others to gain resources and inspiration to support military ministries.
