Apostles Family,


The elders, finance team, and fundraising team are hopeful and expectant of how God is working in our church. Our finances are one piece of that, and your continued support and engagement are so appreciated.

We ended July under budgeted giving by $16k, which led to a net loss for the month of ($17k). Expenses are in line with the budget so far, and we have ~3.9 months of cash on hand. Please see the charts below which show these trends over the last few months. While we as a church have grown somewhat used to ending the month with a loss, we want to more clearly show you how our giving budget misses affect our cash position over time.

With this in mind, we have the same asks as last month:
1) Pray! This is an opportunity to pray and ask God to meet our needs, trusting in His provision.
2) Setting up recurring giving is one of the easiest ways to make giving a regular practice, and it helps us to plan financially for the future. If you haven't set up recurring giving, would you consider setting it up at the link below? (If you've already setup recurring giving through Breeze and need to modify or adjust, here's an article on how to do that.)

Blessings to you all as we head into the fall months.
