The 2010 United Thanksgiving Offering is named in memory of Owen Dry, who served as a church planter, pastor and interim pastor of several Harris County Association churches. Dry also served as a Missions district coordinator for the BMA of Texas Missions Department. On Sunday, Nov. 21, every church within the BMA of Texas is challenged to receive an offering of at least $1,000 to help in meeting the overall goal of $125,000. The UTO benefits all of the departments of the BMA of Texas.
