Relentless Church recently gave permission for people there to take what they needed from the offering baskets and keep it.
In a late November sermon, pastor John Gray told his congregation: “But God told me after we collected offering to leave it at the altar. And then let those who had needs get what they needed from the offering baskets.”
Gray called veterans, widows, single mothers and fathers to the front of his church.
“There’s some money in these baskets,” he told the people who came up. “For you and the kids to eat. And get some gas.”
It’s not clear if the open offerings will be ongoing. Gray’s church did not respond to a request for comment.
