How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: My husband and I had the desire to tithe regularly, and agreeing was the first step for sure. Then it took a series of logistical details like always having the checkbook, making up any weeks we might have missed by accident or absence, and knowing the amount we wanted to give.

In addition coffee (very important in Seattle – every lady had one cup before we got started, and they dove into the tea later), teas of all kinds, and water, I had fruit, sandwiches, scones with fake devonshire cream and jam and tiny raspberry muffins.
For sandwiches I made traditional cucumber on white bread with tarragon butter, chicken salad on mini croissants and ham, Havarti and cream cheese on raisin bread. For fruit I had strawberries, grapes, apple slices and bananas.
It was a huge success. One of my favorite parts was using real sugar cubes, which I put in one of my own mismatched teacups.
