Mini Food Pantry
Saturday is the groundbreaking day! 
William Gwinn has been hard at work on this Eagle Scout project. William and Raymond Vanvoorhis, architect, have been making plans and preparing to build a mini food pantry for SDHC (Southern Dutchess Homeless Coalition). 
 It will be located next to our St. Pauly shed. It will provide limited food for anyone who has emergency needs as a supplement to the food received at the local food pantry. 
Fishkill churches will sign up to be in charge of maintaining it. Community members can also donate nonperishable food items. We are very excited to have this project up and running! Go William!!!

Prayer List
United Thank Offering
More than $1 million in United Thank Offering grants—designated for 22 projects related to creation care within The Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion—was approved by the church's Executive Council during its April meeting.

The funds came from the United Thank Offering's 2021 Ingathering, where monies collected in UTO "blue boxes" at Episcopal churches throughout the year are gathered as thank offerings.
This year's focus for grant applications was "Care of Creation: Turning love into action by caring for God's creation to protect the most vulnerable—who will bear the largest burden of pollution and climate change—through justice, advocacy, environmental reparations, or the development of fundamental materials."
 
The UTO Board received about $1.8 million in requests from 42 applications. It was able to fund eight projects within The Episcopal Church and four projects from dioceses that receive block grants from General Convention; eight projects within the Anglican Communion; and two historical grants.

The UTO Mission is stated as: The United Thank Offering (UTO) is a ministry of The Episcopal Church for the mission of the whole church. Through UTO, individuals are invited to embrace and deepen a personal daily spiritual discipline of gratitude. UTO encourages people to notice the good things that happen each day, give thanks to God for those blessings and make an offering for each blessing using a UTO Blue Box. UTO is entrusted to receive the offerings, and to distribute the 100% of what is collected to support innovative mission and ministry throughout The Episcopal Church and Provinces of the Anglican Communion.
