The Mission of the United Thank
Offering is to invite people to offer daily prayers of thanksgiving to God
and outward and visible signs of those prayers which will benefit others.
God calls each of us to grow in awareness of God, our own relationship with
God, and our relationship in community with all whom God has created. As
habits of daily thankful prayer mature, our personal relationship with God
grows. Daily prayers of thanksgiving strengthen our being and doing. Through
our shared stories, God calls us to continue to grow into the fullness of
the Kingdom.

The blue box can be
a reminder of our many blessings. Uniting our own gifts of thanks with those
of others keeps us in thankful relationship them and with all of creation.
In sharing our thank offerings with those throughout the Communion who seek
to address compelling human need and extend the mission of the Church, we
deepen our sense of participation in the lives of others. The shared prayer
and money offerings help others to respond to God's call and to grow in
their own deepened sense of living within the greater Christian community. |
