UTO Ingathering, May 2011

The ECW collects the UTO offering twice a year, May being the first collection.   UTO is an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Church. Founded by women in 1889 to enable the missionary work of the church, the program has been administered by the women of the church. The ECW gives the money raised, called the United Thank Offering, in grants to fund mission projects in our diocese and around the world.  

These projects include: 
• Eradicating extreme poverty and hunger
• Achieving universal primary education  
• Reducing child mortality
• Improving maternal health  

Become a part of the United Thank Offering by offering thanks for God's blessings in your life. Please save your coins in the blue UTO box or write a check and place it in the blue box, available in the back pew . Every coin is used to support grants for mission and ministry. The boxes will be collected on Sunday, May 29th.
