United Thank Offering of the Episcopal Church is a way to practice gratitude and change the world during the 40 days of Lent.

Through UTO, individuals embrace and deepen a personal daily spiritual discipline of gratitude. UTO encourages people to notice the good things that happen daily, give thanks to God for those blessings and donate an offering for each blessing in a UTO Blue Box or a UTO Envelope.

UTO blue Boxes are available in the Welcome Center and you’ll find UTO envelopes in the Church pews. One hundred percent of all funds are granted the following year to support innovative mission and ministry in the Episcopal Church.
