One Sunday morning, Marash Girl and her family attended the United Armenian Brethren Evangelical Church of Watertown, Massachusetts, as they did every Sunday morning. Marash Girl's dad, Peter, was sitting next to Mrs. C., a woman who was moneyed, but known to be parsimonious. When the velvet lined plate came around for the offering, she put a dollar bill into the offering plate and started scrounging around for change. Peter asked her what she was doing . . . Her answer: "I'm looking for change. I need 75 cents back." Peter answered, "In this church, we don't take change away from the church . . . we give our change to the church!"
