This is a symbol of things that we value. People are invited to
do with them what they feel is most appropriate. Some might want to put
them in the offering plate as a symbol that we’re going to give them up
or give them away. Others might want to take them home and put them in
their Bible at Luke 12:13-21 as a sign that we want God to be in charge.
