CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
C. 12. 05. g. The Congregation Council will use the following procedures when a nondesignated 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.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
2) Any non-designated donation, gift, offering, or bequest (herein
after,
within this section only, referred to as “donation”) of $5,000.00 or less shall be
directed to the congregation’s Mission
and Ministry (operating fund).
3) Any non-designated donation over $5,000.00 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
