Welcome to The Pulse! Please take a minute to check out what's happening at Church of the Apostles.
PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
Please join your church in praying for the following requests for the life and mission of the church:
+ Please pray for all in our church who feel overwhelmed by anxiety or feel depressed, that the Lord would reassure them that he will take care of them as he does the birds of the air, and that he will give them his peace.
+ Pray for the ministry of House of Hope in their efforts to show the mercy and grace of God to teenage women in crisis, and their families. Pray also for funds to come in from new donors during a current matching grant campaign.
+ Pray for the people of Congo who are currently experiencing the latest outbreak of Ebola in their nation. Pray for the Lord to bring healing and help, and for an end to the epidemic.

Praise God for His provision during our Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018.
Budgeted general contributions (7/1/17-6/30/18) $1,720,000 Actual contributions $1,651,297
While we remained behind in revenues, we are truly thankful for God allowing us to manage our expenses throughout this fiscal year to end the year with a small surplus which Leadership Council has designated for our Operating Reserve and Fixed Asset Reserve accounts. Please pray for our congregation to grow both in attendance and in stewardship as we move into a new fiscal year which began on July 1. Freedom for Mission | We have completed thirty-three months of the three year Freedom for Mission pledge journey. We have received $1,109,457 toward the $1,276,214 pledge total (87%). Our loan balance is ZERO, and every dollar for Freedom for Mission is now going straight toward Freedom for Mission grants. Thank you for continuing to fulfill your Freedom for Mission pledges!
The Fiscal 2018 results will be posted to Apostles' Link once the Auditor's review is complete later this month or early September.
There are several Women's Bible Studies beginning soon for fall! These studies meet on various times and days, so there is something for everyone! Check them out ~
