Church gives fresh meaning to 'offering' plate

Sounds like an AA meeting. Put something in if you have it, take something out if you need it. Lol someone should try it sometime.

Sounds kinda cool huh...
God will provide..all church's should do this. I've seen the time that I've had to dig to the bottom of my purse for change just to throw in..and would do it again. There are people out there that the change could have bought a gallon of milk for their kids.

That would be a good thing to do I think..sure there is some that would take advantage of it..but for the most part I think that the ones that added would far out way the ones that took.

I heard on tv the other day..that the top 7 richest people in the world had enough money to end world hunger. HUMM..you know..Im not saying they should give all they got..but if only 7 could do that imagine what the top 50..100..200...ect..could do?
You know in the Bible days when people sold and gave all they had and followed Jesus..what does people think was done with that money?
The Bible stated the Son of God didnt even have a place to lay his head...so if this was the case that money was not used to further Jesus and his followers..:) That money was used to help mankind. Thats my opinion anyway.

Good post - in fact, a day or so after people brought their entire estates and laid them at Peter's feet, Peter runs across a lame man and tells him, "Gold and silver have I none, but what I have, I give you..." He evidently didn't keep any of the money for himself.

Thank you...and true very true..
You know there are a lot of chruch's out there that take care of their communities and provide meals, pays for electric bills, provides clothes for those in need.
Its time for people to step up, with the economy the way it is today, much more help will be needed..
Everyone out there that the Lord has blessed, think about this...find a local church that supplies the community with these services..donate..money, clothes, non perishable food. Or go to your local food pantry, or Salvation Army. There is so much need out there folks.. people are suffering right here in your communities..its easy to turn a blind eye to it, but it dont make it go away...God Bless
