To insure that offerings are viewed as an act of worship, announce the offering from the perspective of the worship theme. Examples:
- "Hear the Word of God regarding the offering..."
- "Here are some guidelines for giving from God's Word..."
- "It is no casual act to give of your money to God's work. Listen to these words from the Scriptures...."
- "...an opportunity to participate with God."
- "...the thrill of working with God."
- "...God's M.O."
- "...your means of Giving Life."
- "The offering is a time for us to put our worship into action by giving back to God a portion of what He has given us."
Try to clarify just what it is you're doing, rather than just collecting money. This will help emphasize that it is an offering from the worshipper, not a collection from the church. It helps people to give to God and not to a budget.
