In our congregation, we work to support our financial needs through the regular pledges of our members and friends, and beginning in 2012, it has been our honor to offer our collection each week, in its entirety, to support an organization doing good work in our region or in the wider world. In past years, we contributed more than $12,000 to the 47 recipients. Our average collection was just over $250.
