The United Thank Offering is the joyful and tangible response, prayerfully
offered, to blessings received from God, and this response provides blessings
to others. This ministry encourages individuals to say prayers of thanks for
blessings received and to deposit coins in the Blue Box. It is not a fund-raising
ministry, but a prayer-raising ministry.
Twice a year (fall and spring), these coins are gathered together and united
with coins from all over the Diocese. They are then returned to God's world
through UTO grants. These grants are awarded within our own community as well
as all over the world.
While the money is certainly a benefit to the grant recipients, what is more
important is all the people these coins represent, their prayers, hopes and
thanks for all the many benefits and blessings that flow from God alone.
