Gifts to be brought up after 1st collection, but before 2nd collection when there is a 2nd
Collection to be brought up to the Alter with the Gifts
When we have only 1 collection, the lead Usher should bring the basket up with the Gifts and lay the basket in front of the alter after the priest has taken the gifts and has moved towards the alter for preparation of the gifts
When we have two collections you have some flexibility:
If you can get a third person for bringing the gifts, you may have one of the three carry the 1st collection up and lay it in front of the Alter
Alternatively, you may want to hold both collections until after the 2nd collection and then you bring the offering up to the Alter
Little Lambs (9:30A) follow the gifts to the alter, so make sure to hold everyone until Little Lambs return from their class
