The object of this order shall be the extension of Christ's Kingdom through prayer, service and evangelism. Since the founding of the St. Monica Chapter at Ascension, the daughters have been praying for each member of the parish on a daily basis and other special requests. Each daughter is assigned a number of persons to pray for, taken from a list of current church members. The only requirement is a commitment to its vision and to participate in a training program and completing a study guide. Parishioners are invited to participate in the UTO by using the United Thank Offering coin boxes daily.
Boxes are in the vestibule of the main church.
UTO funds are used to help poorer churches worldwide in their ministries. For more information call the office, 543-4253. The Presiding Bishop's Fund supplies emergency assistance to people in need throughout the world. It is a response of compassion by the Episcopal Church to a suffering world. As a vital program of the church, it gives grants both domestically and internationally.
