Church sends collection notices to members [View all]

Most people who attend church are used to seeing the offering plate passed around the pews. People donate what they can as a proud member of the congregation.

...

Petterson said finding the Greater Mount Moriah Primitive Baptist Church was a blessing. The single mother had been looking for a church closer to her new home and six months in, things were going perfectly. That is, until she received an odd letter at her home last week.

"To be a member in good standing and have the right to vote, adults are to contribute the minimum amount of $50 per month," read Petterson.

To her surprise it was from the church stating she was delinquent in her financial support.
