Today my new church (i just join this church for 2 months) is doing some fund-raising for the new church building. We were asked to fill-in the form of how much money we would contribute. I didn't know that it was going to be announced at the end of service. When they announced the sum of the money collected at the end of service (they didn't announce the name though), i felt very ashamed because i didn't contribute as much as others. I also feel very left out, so i left the service not long after they start counting. I just feel that it's like the auction or donation event to announce the sum of the money like that, i thought it is supposed to be a private and confidential information just between you and the church. Is there any biblical explanation for this? And how to overcome the feeling of being left out?
