Offertory

The Offertory is a part of a religious service, particularly in Christian liturgies, where congregants offer gifts—commonly money or donations—to support the church's work, community needs, or charitable causes. This act symbolizes gratitude, devotion, and the sharing of one’s blessings. During the Offertory, the collected offerings are often gathered while prayers or hymns are sung, emphasizing the community’s collective participation in giving back. It’s a meaningful tradition that reflects faith in stewardship and the importance of generosity within the religious community.
