ATM in your church lobby?

Gawd!!! I don't understand the relgious mind!!!!

You're torn to shreds and often manipulated to give an offering ... yet the zealot would then turn around and say ... no you can't access your own money in the foyer because you need to break a sweat carrying it here.

With direct deposit I don't even see my check in the form of cash ... all my banking is done electronically ... my bills paid online.

I thought God lprefers our obedience over sacrifice, anyway.

Give it a break yourself. The sacrifice remark was referring to the idea that has been stated in another post that it's more of a hassle to go to the bank and get money so you'll be able to give cash at church. My point was that if bringing an offering to church is that big of a problem, you don't understand the actual concept of giving in the first place.

Who said it was a hassle ... having cash on hand is not someithing those of us in modern age are concerned about ...

Do you want the offering or not?

By having to pay the $2.00 "penalty" fee ... aren't you making amends for your slothfullness, anyway?

It's not like one busted their tail for 40-60 hours during the week to have the funds available in the first place.

I would love to have one in the lobby, even if it's only to transfer money to the church's account. Like Felicity said, sometimes you get the desire to give WHILE YOU'RE IN CHURCH, perhaps you feel led to give to a missionary, etc. I personally do not carry a checkbook, my wife keeps it, and if I want to give, I would have to make other arrangements to give it to them. If there was an ATM, everyone could transfer money and the church could cut the missionary one big check. I would welcome this.
