Annual Building Fund Donation
(Memorial 809)
At our regular September voters’ meeting a motion was made
and passed to make a recommendation to Synod that a permanent
‘pnnual ‘building fund donation be established in preference to
ere special drives.
It was generally felt that a regular annual donation would
_ yield greater returns over a period of years and thereby enable
Synod to maintain its buildings in proper condition.
“If Synod should be in accord with our point of view, you may
feel fully assured we will heartily support any such plan.

Discontinue Special Drives to Raise Funds
for Building Purposes
(Memorial 810)

Wuereas, The members of Christ Lutheran Church of Wash-
ington, D.C., recognize the obligation of each member congrega-
tion of The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod to properly sup-
port the Synod in a well-balanced building program; and

Wuereas, The members of Christ Lutheran Church of Wash-
ington, D.C., are of the opinion that the present synodical prac-
tice of conducting sporadic special drives to raise funds for such
purposes is wasteful and inefficient; and

Wueress, The members of Christ Lutheran Church of Wash-
ington, D.C., are of the opinion that any synodical building pro-
gram should be projected over a period of years according to a
well-conceived plan; now, therefore,

The members of Christ Lutheran Church of Washington, D. C.,
memorialize The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod at its 1950
synodical convention at Milwaukee, Wis., to discontinue special
drives to raise funds for building purposes, and that each member
congregation be requested to include in its annual dues such
amounts as Synod may deem necessary to carry on a long-range

building program. Curist LutHEran Cuurcn
