r 1'1 he Union Avenue church is mak-
ing plans to move east from its
JL present location to 27 acres of land
on Hall Road, about one mile north of
Walnut Grove. Changing times, a mem-
bership decline to about 300 members and
an average-member age approaching 72
prompts these plans.
Union Avenue, initial founding con-
gregation of Shelby County churches of
Christ, dedicated its present structure in
about 1925. During the following 69
yean, it has increased facilities, sponsored
new churches and promoted good works.
About 40 percent of the land at the new
location will be used for buildings to
house the church; the remainder will ac-
commodate a Christian Village where
older members of the church can reside in
a close-knit community. This facility will
be operated by a board of leaden from
among churches nationwide, rather than
by Union Avenue.
Plans now envision a division of re-
sponsibilities among Memphis churches to
leet in facilities at 900 Barrow Road, ac-
ording to Herman Copeland, elder.
In October, Leon Barnes,
linister for the Maumelle
hurch, preached in a gospel
reeling at Barrow Road and
ie consolidation followed.
Barnes is the minister for
ie new congregation and
Vade Poe is the youth min-
iter. Elders are Frank Bow-

Sycamore church will see that a congrega-
tion remains at Union Avenue. The present
Springdale church has been chosen to
move into the Union Avenue building and
begin efforts to evangelize the inner city.
The Springdale church, with a record of
stability, had ‘pledged to have its property
paid for within a 10-year period. Within
three years after making that pledge, the
church assumed full responsibility. It grew
to double-morning services and to giving
substantial help to the Marked Tree, Ark.,
church. Springdale has been free of debt
for several years. This history of develop-
ment could be repeated by the church on
an even greater scale at the Union Avenue
location.
To help cover financial needs for the
present transitions, four Memphis-area
churches, including Sycamore View, have
pledged about $3,400 per month and will
organize a capital fund drive. Plans also
include appealing to congregations and
church members in a more extensive re-
gion for pledges of support. — LT
