Then you are going to the wrong church.........

Seriously, I don't go to church because I paid to be there (the AC is on regardless of my attendance) I go for me, and my children. I like to learn about God, and I love to sing the songs. The folk to talk to are pretty cool, and the occasional food is a bonus.

weather or not my piddling giving is 1/500th of the church costs is beside the point. I give some of what God has given me back.

I started with a dollar a week, for my son to put in the basket, maybe 5. maybe a quarter. oddly enough I was never without something for him to put in....guess I never was that broke
