The worst designed offering baskets are the shallow ones with no handles. Why is this the worst design? It makes it easier to drop when you're passing it. And when you drop it, all the money falls out.
Contrast this with the offering bag with 2 handles. Easy to pass, check. Money doesn't fall out when you drop it, check.
Reedemer has obviously chosen poorly when buying offering baskets. And the poorness of the decision was revealed when my friend was passing the basket along to my other friend.....and they dropped it. The basket flipped over, spilling cash and envelopes onto the floor. After a moment of shock, they started picking up all the money and passed the basket along. I'm surprised none of us were frisked when we left at the end of the sermon.
We were contemplating that the only thing worse would be if you dropped the communion blood/juice when it's being passed around. Embarrassing, AND you're preventing others from taking communion.

a couple of years ago, i was visiting a church with wendy in portland where they practice open table communion...i totally dropped the bread in the juice...and fished it out with my fingers. in hindsight, i should've used another piece of bread to get it out... oops.
it's ok, we don't expect ppl who grew up in mansions and had everything given to them to have good manners.
