We will have a basket on the Reception table at Coffee Hour at the 10:00 am service, if you would like to bring them cards. Thank you to all who faithfully counted your blessings and returned your blue boxes to support the United Thank Offering. We held the ingathering on April 21st. If you missed this, or simply forgot, we will continue to collect through May 5th. Thank you all for your generosity as we do our part to support this important ministry. UTO is entrusted to receive the offerings, and to distribute 100% of what is collected to support innovative mission and ministry throughout The Episcopal Church and Provinces of the Anglican Communion. Many years ago, our community was blessed with some of these funds as they were used for Beecher Hall in Mitchell. Last year, the UTO grants were awarded all over the world. To learn more about where these funds were designated you may go to: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/UTO_2023_Grants_Brochure_English_Readers.pdf The Forward Day by Day’s for May-July are here in regular and large print. If you’d like one of these mailed to you, please email or call the church.
