UTO Spring Ingathering Sunday – May 4 United Thank Offering is an ongoing Outreach opportunity where we participate individually as we give thanks for the multitude of blessings in our lives. Although we hold "Ingatherings" twice a year, our prayers of thankfulness are encouraged EVERYDAY! And dropping money in the "little blue boxes" is a tangible way of giving back in thanksgiving for all God has done for us.Each year, all of the gifts (every penny !!!) are given as grants for projects throughout the Anglican Communion. The UTO Committee is composed of members of the ECW from the various provinces. I invite you to look over the UTO information displayed in the Parish Hall and the Narthex. It helps explain more about the areas that UTO benefits. It also shows what our support from Holy Trinity has been over the past several years. Please become familiar with this wonderful opportunity to serve others. UTO ’s purpose is to spread the word of Jesus Christ and also address compelling human needs throughout the world. This matches our own mission statement quite well as we join together in "Sharing the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ with all people."The little blue boxes will be collected during each of the services. You are welcome to drop them by the church office anytime if you will be unable to attend church on that Sunday. Thank you! Cindy Olive, UTO Coordinator
