IT’S NOT TOO LATE to participate in the United Thank Offering. Please turn in your blue boxes or UTO envelopes with cash or checks made out to ’St. James ECW’ with UTO in the memo line to Wendy Kiblawi or to the office during business hours. The funds collected are used to provide grants both domestically and abroad to help alleviate profound human suffering. UTO is an outreach of the Episcopal Church that encourages us to deposit change in our ‘blue box’ year round as we give thanks for all of our blessings.
