>>   3.. The placement of the Collection/Offertory can be varied; for 
>> effectiveness, it needs to be carefully introduced.
>>   4.. The Committee supports the encouragement of donations during the 
>> service and also recommends that BRIDGES incorporate a collection as part 
>> of the young people's classes.  It would be good if they selected a 
>> cause/purpose and then collected each week toward that goal.
