The church receives offerings designated to the Building Fund and/or the General Fund in family envelopes and through Simply Giving. Where does the money go which is not designated?
When money is put in the offering plate without any envelope of designation, it is considered a “loose plate” offering. On any Sunday, unless otherwise stipulated, the loose offering goes into the General Fund. On special occasions such as Lent, Advent, Christmas, Easter, etc. the loose offering goes into Benevolent support which includes World Hunger, Lutheran World Relief, etc.
