“Expand the circle of thankful people.” This is the mission statement of the United Thank Offering Committee. UTO is an organization founded by women in 1889 and originally supported women missionaries. It is now world wide and meets many types of compelling human needs. By thanking God for our blessings, then giving offerings in our UTO boxes, we can help bring blessings to others. We collect our blue UTO boxes in May every year.
Anyone can participate. Simply pick up a blue UTO box from the parish hall. Put coins in the box anytime you are thankful for a blessing. The offerings support ministries such as after-school programs in Indiana, renovations providing handicap accessibility in a campus ministry house in Wyoming, vocational training in the Middle East, and establishment of clean water sources in Uganda.
The coins and prayers of the UTO do make a difference. Let’s “Expand the circle of thankful people.”
