And it can be tough when your parish is in the middle of a long fund-raising drive (to builid a new Church in my case). When you're hit over and over with the message that you're not giving enough, it can be discouraging from going. Also, you should never have to feel alone in Church. It seems (at least in the churches I'll attend) that there are so many folks sitting by themselves. So - in one respect - you're not alone at all, but part of a larger group!
