I do, however, feel it relays an air of arrogance and is unneeded. No one is too good to carry their own Bible and water bottle.

I have heard it preached... and was part of a church for several years that used it to a wild degree. What I saw: a tired and frustrated pastor, a church full of distrust, pride, bragging, and backbiting, and a few disillusioned people who wondered where God was in any of it.
Sorry, just what I've seen. I pray it isn't that way everywhere, but it can be taken way too far. I hope I've only seen it taken to it's farthest extreme.
