Offertory thought October 18, 2009

You know there are all sorts of churches that have gotten rid of plate passing to collect the weekly offering. Some churches have attached offering boxes to the wall and like the well known poor box in the Catholic church folks just slip a few bills or their weekly pledge through the slot as they make their way into or out of the sanctuary. I don’t suppose it matters much whether you pass the plate or have a collection box hanging on the wall. We are called to give cheerfully and always with a grateful heart.
