Open Space

At Open Space, our offering time was a dance party. We played a section of a music video, usually the Newsboys That's How You Change the World (posted below). People were to dance to the back of the room to the table with the offering plates. Here is what we said before they danced:
We understand offering to be anything we have to give back to God. This includes time, talents, money, prayers, service and worship. You are invited, when the music video starts, to dance to the back table. There you will find offering plates, pens, and slips of paper. We do have to keep toilet paper in the bathrooms and the lights on, so we'll take any change or $50 bills you have hiding in your purse or pocket. However, we understand that everyone has something to give back. Maybe you can write on the paper that you'll bring a canned good for the food pantry next week, that you'll check on an elderly neighbor, or that you'll offer prayers for someone this week. If you are in a place in your life where you are so down you feel like you have nothing to give, you made it here today. You are giving your time and worship to God. Write down "I made it to worship today!" and put that in the plate. Everyone has something to offer God. Now, let's dance!
