If you wish to submit a UTO grant application from the Diocese of MS this year, please note that the criteria and focus are very different. Evangelism is the key. Webinars help with the explanation.
UTO Grant Applications and criteria are currently available on the website along with blue boxes and envelopes:
www.episcopalchurch.org/uto
Applications must be received in the diocesan office by February 14, 2020.
Also, note that there is an educational webinar on January 14 at 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Zoom

Many of you have expressed some concern about how to understand the definition of evangelism for the 2020 UTO Grant application process, so we want to give you a chance to ask your questions about evangelism! Please join us on Tuesday, January 14, at 11:00 a.m. or 7:00 p.m. central time at https://zoom.us/my/utomtgs to listen to Jerusalem Greer, Staff Officer for Evangelism on the Presiding Bishop’s Staff, and ask her your questions about the project you are hoping to apply for funding from UTO to support. You do not need to RSVP for this webinar; simply log in at the time that works for you. We highly recommend joining this webinar if you have questions about whether your project is within the focus or not. If you can’t make the webinar, we strongly recommend that you visit the Church’s Evangelism webpage for more information.
Our completely funded UTO grant for 2019 is “Teach Them to Fish”, a project from Trinity Episcopal Church in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Remember UTO coins and currency from your prayers of Thanksgiving for your many blessings change lives each and every day!
