United Thank Offering (UTO) is a ministry of the Episcopal Church for the mission of the whole church. Through United Thank Offering, men, women, and children nurture the habit of giving daily thanks to God. These prayers of thanksgiving start when we recognize and name our many daily blessings. Those who participate in UTO discover that thankfulness leads to generosity. United Thank Offering is entrusted to promote thank offerings, to receive the offerings, and to distribute the UTO monies to support mission and ministry throughout the Episcopal Church and in invited Provinces of the Anglican Communion in the developing world.
The 2015 United Thank Offering Grants session will focus on the Fourth Mark of Mission, to seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation. In celebration of the 125th anniversary of the United Thank Offering, the annual grants focus is working towards God’s vision for His people and is seeking to change lives in a new way by a variety of actions.
