Part of the Sunday service is a time for people to come forward to acknowledge their birthday, anniversary or other mile stones in their lives. At this time the acolyte will have a brass container in which the individual may make an offering. This “Birthday Money” offering is traditionally small, one cent for each year. Each month this money in transferred into a Special Interest account and at the end of the year the money is sent to The Diocese of California who then adds it to “Birthday Money” from other parishes and sends it to the national church’s Department of Education & Department of World Missions.
