“God’s Giving Bin”
What is the “new thing” that you have perceived God doing?
God is calling us to engage our children more in worship.
How are you cooperating with God in this activity?
We introduced God’s giving bin. A bin we have the kids roll through the aisle prior to the children’s sermon collecting donations from our members.
From where did this “new thing” spring forth? What need is God acting to meet through this activity?
We had a donation program already set up through the Sunday school but wanted it to expose it better to the whole congregation. The kids get to interact with the older members of the church and take an active part in the service giving the kids a real purpose that they can sense. It also provides the needy with things like food, hand sanitizer, blankets, tissues, shoes, etc.

I really like this idea. I think it is creative and a great idea for the younger children in the congregation to get a sense of service as well as to get to know and see more members within their own congregation.
