Is there is a steady trend at Severn River Church its that on Friend Days our giving takes a nose dive. I'm not sure why. Last time we barely mentioned it and the basket was on the way out and most people probably forgot. This time I put the basket in the front, but forgot to mention it entirely.
Still some gave, and I appreciate one person came before service to ask where to give, and another person came after service with a check and hadn't seen where to give. Thanks for that.
I just find it ironic that on the days that cost us the most, we give the least. There's probably a better way...

Ben. Be encouraged by our tiny offering on Sunday as well! Maybe all the money in the state of Maryland was frozen this Sunday. God will pay his bills somehow. We know that.
Maybe when people have a friend sitting next to them, they feel uncomfortable putting money in the basket. It wasn't mentioned so I can see how someone would not want to call attention to the offering at the chance of their friend feeling like they should give as well.
