At Calvary Chapel Tyler, we see the offering as a joyful act of worship.  After we first give ourselves to the Lord (2 Cor 8:5), God calls upon us to give cheerfully (2 Cor 9:7), so we never put pressure on people to give.  When you do give, we treat it as a gift to God and will seek to be good stewards of it.  May God bless you as you worship Him in this way.
