Alright, so for everyone who checks out this post, here is the deal. I am polling a focus group with questions about elements of the Sunday service. This is looking like the best forum for that, so we're going to try it. If you read this post and would like to comment, you are more than welcome. However, if you are not in the focus group, please don't dominate the comments on some pet-peeve issue of yours, the discussion really is intended for them. But like I said, please feel free to participate.

So the way this series of posts will work is that I will pose a question or two about a single element of the Sunday service and then leave it there for discussion. There will probably be at least six or seven of these posts over the next couple of weeks, so keep your eyes open and your head on your shoulders.

First up: The Offering

What if we didn't pass baskets to take the offering? What if we put big boxes in the back of the room and just asked people to put their stuff in there at some point during their time with us on Sunday morning? Is taking the offering during the service important theologically? Why or why not?
