How about they give you the extra $3.00 dollars they would have used for gas as an ATM surcharge? Plus $2 more for the ATM surcharge they would have paid at the bank. The church actually has $5 more...multiply that by an average of 30 members and you have $150 extra dollars a week. You might actually get a paycheck before long!

(the church member average was my observation of average church attendance in rural churches...for all I know you have 3000 )

I tend to espouse the theory that people are going to give as much as they're going to give, period. If they have the desire to give to the church, they'll make provision, set an amount aside, and they'll do so whenever they get the chance.
