Maybe it's simply a practical solution for collecting the offering on the way out when the service is running long, but I like to think there's a message communicated in the choice of receptical.
Paul reminds us in Philippians 3:8 that all things are 'rubbish' compared to knowing Jesus, and the truth is I'm not taking anything with me when I finally go to my real home.
I appreciate the reminder that money and financial blessing can 'trash' up my heart and life if I ever put it at greater value than Jesus and His people.
