Read this cool story the other day and thought I'd pass it on... (Our church and others have done something similar but in those scenarios a few people got 'Kingdom money'. I like this because everyone did even if it was a small amount.)A couple of Sundays ago, when the pastor of Community in Christ Lutheran Brethren Church in Arvada - Rev. Gary Witkop - said he was passing around the collection plate for a second time one recent Sunday, the congregation dutifully reached for wallets and purses to give a little more.
Instead, Witkop told every one of the 60 men, women and children in the congregation to take $25 from the plate. And so, on Nov. 11 every congregant received a "reverse offering."
There was one catch. Witkop told his flock to use the cash — $1,500 in all — to show God's love to someone else.
