Offering
Offering can mean several different things depending on the person you are talking to. It can be giving money to the church, or for the people who like to do more it can be an offering of their time to help serve at the church. For me offering is my time, I serve on the Youth Council and have helped plan some youth events. I consider this my offering because I am offering my time and skills to the church and its staff. Giving this offering also helps me stay connected to the church. If I’m being honest, I have several conflicts on Sunday that don’t allow me to go to the church service. By setting aside time in the week when I can help, it reassures me that I am still strong in my faith and connection to the church. It also tells me that I am making a difference to someone.
