My SIL goes to a church and they have at least three offerings per Sunday service. One is the main offering and the additional ones are generally for their kids to go to a Central American country and spread the word. Makes me wonder why they need so much money? Shouldn't they be content with whatever the local folks want to give them? Why collect an offering so they can purchase new cloths and a new vehicle? Yea, it's a small church but the pastor constantly begs the congregation for donations to his kid. Ugh, I went once and saw through his scheme and decided something didn's pass the smell test.
