PASTOR'S REPORT, April 17, 1979
1. Checks made out to "Worldwide Church of God"
As you know, Mr. Armstrong has asked that all donations
to the Work be made payable to "Herbert
w.
Armstrong"

and sent to Tucson for processing. However, some are
still making their checks out to "Worldwide Church of God"
and sending them to Tucson. These "WCG" checks cannot be
deposited in Tucson and are forwarded to Pasadena for
processing. Any checks of this type will be acknowledged
on "Worldwide Church of God" receipts.
2. Checks made out to "Herbert W. Armstrong"
All checks should be made payable to "Herbert W. Armstrong"
and mailed to Tucson. However, in March when the critical
need arose to raise $1,000,000 for a bond to stay the
receivership, all checks -- whether made to HWA or the WCG
-- were kept in Pasadena.
(Both HWA and WCG checks can be
deposited in Pasadena, but only HWA checks can be deposited
in Tucson). The "Special Offering" donation which appears
on Worldwide Church of God receipts dated March 1979 refers
to this offering for the Bond.
NOTE: Some local churches turned in one large check
for the entire congregation. Receipts to indi
vidual contributors in these situations may be
delayed until donations are clarified.
3. Separate Accounts
We must keep separate accountings for the WCG Pasadena and
HWA Tucson contributions. Separate HWA Tucson receipts
will be sent to everyone who sends money there. The
"year-to-date" totals on HWA •rucson receipts will NOT
list any contributions receipted by the WCG.
4. Delays In Receiving Receipts
Some members have expressed concern over not receiving receipts
for tithes and offerings they have sent since earlier this
year. All "Worldwide Church of God" checks have continued to
be receipted on a monthly basis. However, because of the
increased workload, many "Herbert W. Armstrong" checks sent
to Tucson are merely late in being acknowledged. We appreciate
everyone's patience and understanding.
We hope the above points will help to clarify any misunderstandings that
have arisen in the area of donations and receipts.
