We all know that we have faithful people that will always tithe and give either via mail or online giving. But let’s face it, there are many who do not trust online giving.And still there are others who regard church like the circus. If you don’t see the show, you don’t get the dough.I’ve heard someone actually say they’ve saved a fortune due to churches not having services.I just shook my head rather than cast pearls before swine.How has your church giving been________________
I don’t run a church, but thanks for reminding me that I need to get an ACH on the books.
I am sure our pastor doesn’t post on ACTS, but I did ask him yesterday while I was in ‘trying’ to repair a commode. He and I kept our distance but he said so far so good with the finances.The first Sunday I drove down (just a 1/2 mile) to give the clerk our offerings and at the same time a dear friend showed up with his. I realized how much I missed just seeing him. He is a pastors dream member. Always up (even with a number of ailments along with a sick wife), When I ask him, How is it going? his answer is consistently (with a smile), I am BLESSED! and I hope you are.Yep I miss him and his wife, 3 or 4 times a week. I am blessed to know him________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
There are also people whose income has dropped due to hours being cut back or taken away altogether. It is a good time to be on salary. If their income is less, they have less to give________________
About a 10% drop, but this happens occasionally at other times so nothing really noticeable. Praying for the same results this 5th Sunday. Which is usually not a top of the line offering like the 1st 2 weeks of the month________________
