Advent candle sets on sale at the Welcome Desk in the Narthex. Mrs. Baughman was my 6th grade Sunday school teacher. One morning she brought a pan of brownies to our class. As the goodies sat by her chair, she gave each child a slip of paper marked with a household expense: mortgage payment, utility bill, phone bill, entertainment, etc. My slip had a car payment. Before long, Mrs. Baughman picked up the tray of brownies and began naming the expenses written on the papers. As we gave her our expenses, she redeemed each one with a brownie. "Car payment" she announced. I jumped up to get my brownie from the pan. Finally, the last brownie had disappeared. But one boy named Donald still held his unredeemed slip. "God," called Mrs. Baughman. Donald came forward hoping the teacher had one more brownie hidden somewhere. With a knife Mrs. Baughman scraped the crumbs from the bottom of the pan into Donald's napkin. He got a pretty raw deal, I thought, just crumbs. "The brownies represent your money", the teacher explained to us. "If you don't give God his share right away, He probably won't get anything except maybe the crumbs." I never forgot that illustration, the day my friend Donald got only the brownie crumbs. Even as a child, I learned that God should have the first right to everything I have. In the years since Mrs. Baughman’s class I have struggled with giving and priorities, but whenever I recall the "Crummy Sunday School Lesson," I know who should and must always come first in my life!

Effective immediately all the second collection funds have been added to our web based online giving program. This feature allows you to make your regular offertory gift to St. Brendan's, as well as any second collection requests that are scheduled. Making your donations electronically reduces the paperwork for yourself and for the parish staff, insures correct application of the donation for tax purposes, and when you set your donation up for repeating transactions, you can set it and forget it! To take advantage of this method of giving, go to the "On-‐line Giving" button on our website, www.stbrendansatl.com.
