Reflect the Love of Christ by Reaching, Loving, Caring CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Recommended Addition to our constitution by Pastor George Sims. Establishes guidelines if church receives a non-designated gift. Requires two votes by congregation and approval by synod. First vote – simple majority Second vote at January cong mtg – two thirds majority In effect 120 days after synod receipt if no conflict

Reflect the Love of Christ by Reaching, Loving, Caring CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT C g. The Congregation Council will use the following procedures when a non- designated donation, gift, offering, or bequest is received by Resurrection Lutheran Church. 1)For purposes of this section, gifts are designated if they are received through bequests in wills or living trusts, designations of retirement or pension plans, assignments of life insurance, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, assignments of certificates of deposit, transfers of property such as cash, stocks, bonds, and real estate, or other tangible assets, and are specifically assigned to the Mission Endowment Fund of Resurrection Lutheran Church or designated for a specific purpose by the donor. A non-designated gift has no such designation and is proffered to the church for any purpose decided by the church. This gift is normally received in some form of immediate liquidity such as cash or check.

Reflect the Love of Christ by Reaching, Loving, Caring 2) Any non-designated donation, gift, offering, or bequest (herein after, within this section only, referred to as “donation”) of $5, or less shall be directed to the congregation’s Mission and Ministry (operating fund). 3)Any non-designated donation over $5, shall be directed as follows: a)Upon determination the donation is not a regular offering, ten per cent (10%) of the entire donation amount will be provided to the Virginia Synod as Benevolence and shall be in addition to the congregation’s regular Benevolence giving; ten percent (10%) will be directed to the Reserve Fund (or evenly split between established reserve funds); thirty percent (30%) will be directed to the Mission Endowment Fund of Resurrection Lutheran Church; fifty percent (50%) will be directed to Mission and Ministry; b)The Congregation Council, by two thirds majority, may direct the disbursement of the funds assigned to the Mission and Ministry account but may not decrease the percentage assigned to benevolence or the Mission Endowment Fund.
