Side Note: Alot of times I feel that the Offering Plate itself is unwise.... It is kinda of a show off as the plate is passed down the aisles and people can see who and what is been giving..... In alot of churches it becomes a Prideful thing.... I believe the old fashion way worked best for the church over the last 1800 years. A Tithe/Alms Box in the back of the church that people can put money into as is laid a upon their hearts without people eyeing them out or it becoming a Prideful (look at the wade of money I threw in) event....
All churches I have been a member of have used envelopes and people can't see how much others give, because for the most part it is filled with envelopes and not cash or checks.
