Tithing & Donations
Why does a church need money? It helps with our mission & ministry. Money is used for our mortgage, pastoral salary, health insurance, housing allowance, office expenses, maintenance, repairs, snow removal, and supplies for the operation of our church.

Thayne Food Bank
Was started by SVUC and patrons would come to pick up their groceries at the church! It’s grown so big that we couldn’t store all the food. It has since been moved to the Thayne Civic Center, however it is still run by SVUC & other volunteers. Patrons pick up their groceries on Fridays from 11am-12:45pm. Veterans Hour to pick up groceries is the second Thursday of the month from 6-7pm. We are always looking for more hands to help. If you’re interested in serving please contact Julie Buckley.
All monetary donations are accepted & matched 5x’s! If you wish to donate to the food bank, please go to our “Offerings” section and click on Thayne Food Bank.
Knitting Prayer Shawls
Star Valley United Church offers hand made prayer shawls from our church and congregation. These shawls are distributed to those who may need comfort, security, and prayer.
Women’s Group Annual Fundraiser
The Women’s Group holds their annual vivacious live auction late in the summer. Our church attendees graciously donate items from their heart to our group for the auction. Some of the items donated are baked goods, jams, meals, vegetables & fruits from their gardens, paintings, stained glass, pottery, leather work, quilts, clothing and woodwork just to name a few. All funds raised are used for their yearly service projects, monetary donations for disaster relief or special projects. There is always a lot of laughter, fun and energetic bidding to be had by all!
Lay Leaders and Readers
Giving your gift of service
Sunday Service a Volunteer Leader helps lead the service by reading the bulletin & directing the congregation of what song or reading is next. The Reader reads the daily prayer and scripture readings to the congregation. There’s a sign up in the fellowship hall for both. You’ll be given the readings a few days before.
Snacks for Fellowship After Service

Provide a snack, light meal, dessert or whatever you wish for the congregation to enjoy after worship while we fellowship together.
