Baptist Giving Up 46% In 5 Years
Dunn Church Adopts
Budget Of $89,275
Dunn’s First Baptist Church has
adopted a budget totaling $89,275
for 1966. The church’s operating
budget totals $61,975 and goals for
social offering totaling $27,300
account for the rest pof it. The sp
ciai goals Include '20,000 on the
church’s building lund.
Members of the church, the
largest in Harnett, have increased
their giving from $63,107 in 1960
61 to $92,481 the past year, a gain
of 46 5 per cent. The new budget
is slightly less than that for 1969.
A total of $1,192 00 per week will
be required to meet the operating
budget or $1,666.67 per week for
the operating budget and the spe
cial goals budget. Rev. Thomas M.
Freeman, pastor, opinted out that
only $5 per week per resident fam
ily would more than meet every
figure in the budget.
Emmett Aldredge was chairman
of the budget committee. It was
unanimously adopted Sunday. The
only question from the floor was
whether or not it included funds
for the Federal Council of Church
es. It does not, since Baptists do
not subscribe to that program.
Howard M. Lee expressed regret
the budget provided only $100 for
the church’s ministry to the needy
ind pointed out that many citi
zens of the community are in need
of food, clothing, etc. While pub
lic welfare now has this respon
sibility, Lee disputed a claim that
ill are being cared for.
The new budget provides in
:reases for the associational mis
uonary salary increases for
;he postor and church sec
retary, addition of maid serv
ces, increases for education, Sun
day school, Royal Ambassadors,
employees’ taxes, pulit supply.
It eliminates completely local
missions and decreases expendi
