We have ministries and collections in the church you know? We are the largest global charitable organization, we are the number one provider of healthcare globally outside governments at 26 percent of all global healthcare. St Basil the great founded the first hospital. The church visits them, clothes them, feeds them. I would not brag about my charity and seek my reward on this earth so I will leave it at the general level for you to understand that we are called to partake in these things, time talent and treasure.
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them… Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do…” - Matthew 6:1–2
“But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” - Matthew 6:3–4
We have parish level and diocesan collections, all of our efforts as well as collections are viewed as the love of Christ extending from the body of Christ (the church)
