Mite boxes, named for the story of the "widow's mite" (Mark 12:41–43) are often used by churches to encourage children and others to give offerings of their coins and small change. This lenten season, we invite all the people of St. David's, young and at heart, to collect coins in a mite box to benefit the Diocesan COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund. Mite boxes will be available for pick up at any of the in-person worship services and during communion pick up during Lent and will be included in the Lent-at-Home boxes for families. Mite boxes will also be available in the parish offices during the week. Children and adults are asked to collect coins throughout the season of Lent and return the boxes as an offering on Easter Sunday or during the week following Easter. You may wish to keep your mite boxes on your kitchen counter or dinner table where they can easily receive the tokens of your generosity and hope. It's easy to think that such small amounts don't add up to much, but just as the two coins were a lot to the widow, your "mites" for the Diocesan COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund will go a long way towards helping others in need.
