United Thank Offering: Sunday November 16
United Thank Offering: Reflecting with Gratitude on God’s Gifts
As we prepare for our fall 2025 United Thank Offering (UTO) Ingathering on Sunday, November 16, we invite you to participate in a month of gratitude, pausing each week to recognize God’s blessing in different parts of your lives. Then, on November 16, we invite you to reflect on those blessings, and make a UTO thank offering in church, by using the QR code below, or at cathedralATL.org/UTO.
The United Thank Offering invites us to come together with the worldwide Episcopal community to give thanks for God’s blessings. As we make financial gifts to the church on Ingathering Sunday, we acknowledge the blessings we have received and provide financial support for UTO’s efforts in the United States and around the world. Even the smallest acts of gratitude and giving can create a meaningful impact on our own lives and on the struggling communities that UTO grants support.
The United Thank Offering (UTO) of the Episcopal Church has awarded more than $145 million in grants since its founding in 1883. These funds have supported over 5,500 projects across the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion, focusing on innovative mission and ministry efforts that extend beyond the church’s budget. In November of 2025, our Ingathering giving will fund 2026 grants that promote the theme of Justice and Bridging Divides to grantees around the globe.
Please consider giving a gift of thanksgiving for God’s gifts in your life using one of the methods described above. Children are also encouraged to use the traditional blue boxes that will be distributed during Sunday School.
Matthew 25:34-35
Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.
Amos 5:24
But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
