offertory
Worship donation moment
Offertory is the part of a Christian worship service when offerings are collected from the congregation, or the music played during this collection.
The term comes from the ritual presentation of bread and wine at the altar in Catholic and Anglican services.
More broadly, it refers to any prayers or anthem accompanying the offering: The choir sang a beautiful offertory.
