The United Thank Offering
The UTO Prayer
Source of all creation, all love, and all true joy: Accept we pray these outward signs of our
profound and continuing thankfulness for all of life. Bless those who will benefit from these
gifts through the outreach of the United Thank Offering, and keep each of us thankful for all the
blessings of joy and challenge that come our way; through Him who is the greatest gift and blessing
of all, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
The annual ingathering of the United Thank Offering is held each spring at a breakfast
between the 8:00 and 10:00 services.
Some of the many uses that our generous offerings do are building churches, feeding
hungry people, giving clothing to people in need. We also help to provide care for physically,
mentally and emotionally challenged people.
The power of the "Blue Box" is unlimited. It can be used at home, in the car, or at workout.
Using it can be a spiritual time for the whole family, as we pray and reflect about the important
work of this program. So many people benefit from the "Power of the Blue Box".
If you do not have a "Blue Box" or if you would like more information, please contact Judy
Leonard at Church. She will be happy to make sure that your questions are answered and also make
sure that whatever materials needed are available. Remember, we need your help! It can make a
profound difference in someone's life as well as enriching yours.
You can begin now by saying prayers of thanksgiving, and placing your offering in the Blue
Offering Envelope.
