Every three years, the United Thank Offering assembles a small book of gratitude-related prayers, one of the most popular items we give out at each General Convention/Triennial and afterward for as long as they last. We get these prayers from everywhere throughout The Episcopal Church, and it’s time to start working on prayers for the 2021 edition. We are looking for original prayers in the following categories: Gratitude, Guidance, Healing, Love of God & Creation, Sorrow or Fear, Prayers for Morning, Prayers for Midday, Prayers for Night, and Other.
I invite all who are interested to write prayers for the 2021 UTO Prayer Booklet in any language and in any format – collect, litany, free form, or prose. Please submit all prayers, including a title for the prayer, your name, and your diocese, by June 1, 2020, using this link. (Please contact Heather Melton at hmelton@episcopalchurch.org if you have any trouble submitting the prayers to this web address.) I look forward to reading and praying all of your prayers.
