We are thankful  for our converts Owen Schmidgall and Anna Schmidgall.  After experiencing repentance and conversion both feel at peace with God and man. Now is the time that we can bring encouragement or any concerns we may have, as they await baptism.

Opportunity to support financially:  The board of the Rochester guesthouse is asking for financial support from regional churches (Iowa and Minnesota) for improvements to the home.  The guesthouse’s purpose has been to “Provide home-like housing that is affordable and convenient and Christian fellowship to members and friends of the Apostolic Christian Church of America that are in the Rochester, MN area seeking medical treatment.”  More information is attached here.

Special Collection for the Brotherhood Operations Fund:

As one might imagine, it requires substantial resources, both effort and funds, to operate our church brotherhood and to provide the support and services we as members desire and our leaders need. In 2019, the Elder Body set up the Brotherhood Operations Fund to cover these financial costs. We understand you may be unfamiliar with this fund because, until now, we have not emphasized it. The Brotherhood Operations Fund is the primary support for Onward Media (including AC Central), Elders Teaching Resource, and many national church / Elder Body expenses. It also pays for a portion of ACCFS services to support church leadership and the denomination. Please see the attachment here for full details on what this important fund covers. At this time, we are making a special effort to inform the entire brotherhood of this ongoing need so you can donate as the Spirit leads. May God richly bless you for your generous support of this necessary work which supports our church!
