Object: A Sunday offering envelope.

Lesson: This poor widow put more in the offering box than all the others

Good morning, boys and girls. Today let's talk about offerings. Some of our parents bring their offerings to church in an envelope like this one. You see, you can write your name on it. And there is a place to write down how much money you are putting in. And there is a number on the envelope, which only belongs to the person who was given these envelopes. That way the church treasurer can tell who put the money in even if they forget to write their name on the outside of the envelope.

What happens to our offerings when they are put into the envelopes and then into the offering plate? (Discuss this. Some of the children may be surprised at the answers to the question.)
