United Thank Offering (UTO) is a ministry of Christ Church. Members of the congregation take a "Blue Box" home and each day they drop spare coins into the box as they give thanks for the blessings of their life. By this habit of giving daily thanks to God we discover that thankfulness leads to generosity. Twice a year, at a Eucharist in spring and fall, we hold "In-gatherings" where the boxes are gathered. The proceeds, every coin that goes into the box, are used for grants, made by the national United Thank Offering Committee.
