Every 3rd Sunday, during our worship services, we have our "Noisy Pots" offering. (The children take pots throughout the congregation to collect change), and the first Sunday of the month is our Communion rail offering. Last, but certainly not least, we make it a point to pay our church's defined apportionments. All these offerings help in many ways, both directly and indirectly.
