I have volunteered in the past to count and deposit the Sunday offering and all the counters agreed that unfolding checks is a waste of time. We know that people do so as an act of privacy which should be respected. I thought about how you could do both-keep the gift confidential from other church members and make it easier to count. As a result, this is my improvement idea that I do every Sunday-imagine how much less time would be needed to tally checks if everyone did this?
Before: I folded my offering check in half before placing it in the contribution plate for privacy.
After: I place my offering check unfolded face down in the collection plate.
Benefits:
- Reduce processing time by counting and deposit team
- Eliminates unfolding time waste
- Maintains privacy and respects the giver
What has your church improved today?
